tongiht, at 7:26 i pulled into 711 at redcliffe (anzac avenue for those who need to know)purchased a slurpee and candy, walked back to my car, to find the ENTIRE left side of my car had been KEYED!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I WAS LESS THAN 10 METRES THE WHOLE TIME, yet saw no one wandering around. considering i only washed car hours before, no keying, and hadnt moved it till then, it must have happened there, so i went back to ask if he could look at the security cameras to see who did it, (someone walking by, or car plates or etc.

the dumb ass no english speaking indian at the counter (no offence) refused to look at the tapes and would give any assistance....

theres really no point to this topic, im just so so so so so PISSED OFF that it has happened, when i was there with it.

I will post pics of it in the morning..

anyone got any ideas of what to use to repair, or at least try to cover a deep key scratch?

cheers

All I can suggest is make a report to the cops and tell them that the security tapes will have the guy on it. But do it quick as these cheap-ass places re-use the tapes on a daily basis and will tape over the evidence today!!

well, to cover it up/stop it from rusting etc, head down to autobarn/supercheap/repco and get some of those bottles of 'touch up paint' and find one that matches your paintwork fairly well... its never going to be exact, but it will make it less obvious, and stop the scratches getting surface rust etc in them

i feel for you mate...the same thing happened to me and its hard to find paint that will match ( i have wine red coloured car)

i work for a security company and all security is digital now..the hdd overwrite themselves so id hurry to see the footage...if it has a 80Gb you will have about 5 days, 120 about 7 days, 200 about 10days and 250 about 14days...goodluck finding the asshole

Went done and got some touch up paint, and a polish, spent few good hours on it, still looks just as bad.... Might have to go get quotes for professional job..

gives me a good reason to get a whole car colour change..

IM STILL SO PISSED OFF.

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
