Hey guys, car theft is rampant at the moment on the north shore with chatswood and lane cove being *known* hot spots.

Please be careful.

On Thursday November 28th at 4am one of my friends in St Ives caught 4 guys under his bonnet attempting to steal his black R33 GTST from outside his front door. the following night a 200sx was stolen from the same street. They had ripped out his alarm from the engine bay but hadnt got into the cabin.

The sunday before another friend in Lane Cove has his 180sx stolen from up his driveway. Fortunately the 180 has been found in Macquarie park missing only small parts like bov etc.

Chatswood police have mentioned that performance car theft on the north shore is VERY high at the moment

Be careful guys its getting pretty bad again.

:(

if YOU are threatened, not your property.

tazer's are illegal.

self-defence is not a complete defence, only partial. meaning: you kill someone you don't get done for murder, but manslaughter. up to the judge whether he believes you or not. you may even get off.

however, doesn't automatically mean you are free from liability...

a judge will always frown upon you 'defending' your property, such as a car, rather than your 'persons,' as property can always be replaced and its not a danger to yourself.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      So either way it is gearbox out and look what is wrong?  I know about the input shaft bearing. Even before swap/new clutch the it sounded exactly like this: So is that inout shaft bearing or the other was installed backwards?  And can some please tell me the part number for that input shaft bearing? The gearbox is small box from R34 N/A and number is FS5W71C. Thank you

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
