Hi

Before I begin, I have to say that I am extremely pissed off at what has happened today. Went to Miranda Shopping Centre (Westfield) with my girlfriend and her sister, parked in the carpark, came back 2 hours later to find both windows on the left side smashed. Alarm was going off but very surprised to see that no-one had noticed or no-one had chosen to notice.

Quarter window and passenger window totally destroyed, all associated window trims destroyed, weather guard snapped in half, b-pillar mould torn off. Glass covered my interior, screwdriver marks on the centre console, and blood was left on the centre console from the person cutting themselves upon entry. Basically the guys have hit my car with a very crude entry and all for what?

Stolen is my Pioneer head unit face plate, mobile phone, sunglasses case, and other personal items. The faceplate is from a Pioneer 8650 which is the grey unit with colour screen. Funnily enough the remotes to the system, a $600 pair of sunglasses, SAFC, Boost Controller, Gauges were all left intact.

My car has since been stripped for cleaning etc. Forensics have already gone through it and I will be filing a police report later on tonight. There is not much else I can do but I want to know more information and ultimately send whoever did this to jail. I am offering a $3k reward for anyone with information leading to the culprit's arrest. This was an amatuer job (much too messy) and someone is bound to talk about it. SAU is a large community with people in all corners of NSW - someone will hear something. I wonder whether a face plate is worth $3k.

Parts needed for repair:

1 x R34 GTT Weather Guard (Left Side)

1 x Passenger Window

1 x Quarter Panel Window

1 x Centre Console Plastic Surround under Climate Control

I await any information - if $3k is not enough to turn your mates in, send me your bill and I will happily pay up. This is not out of revenge, it is the principal!

Mate i am so sorry to hear this.

Thats another car at that shopping center is it not ? the last was a 33gtst and it got stolen.

Hope you find the little f*kERS and cut there hands off.

Good luck

I guess the only lucky thing from all of this is that they were amateurs and did not gut my car or worse still, drive off with it.

As for the head unit, I've got a spare face plate so that's all ok and sorted.

I just wish it was a pro job so that at least the damage will be clean and not a complete mess. My dash and all the window surrounds are FARKED!

Sorry to hear.....theivin' f*ckin maggots

The same thing happend to Stacey's old R31....took us 6 months to get rear 1/4 glass for it...lucky its a newer model and parts will be easier to obtain.

That's the thing... I haven't been to Miranda in 10 years (no lie here) and I wasn't aware that there was security parking... my girlfriend drives a Corolla so she didn't think about it at the time...

I will never be at Miranda again for that matter... NEVER~

I will be looking at some type of action against Westfields on Monday as I am 100% sure that there was no sign indicating a zero-responsibility at the entrance.

Anyways, gonna go get hammered now, that'll relieve the trauma!

sounds like the work of some druggo off the street trying to find something quick to sell for his next hit. Too messy and valuable stuff left behind... definitely not the work of a car thief/vandal. You'll be better off asking at the local pawn brokers (legitimate or illegitimate) to see if anything was traded in.

That super sucks stan. :O:D

I have a bad feeling finding the guilty creep that did this will be nigh impossible. As funkeh said, its most likely a random act of theivery.

Lucky only cosmetic damage was done but I know how annoying and time consuming it is to get these bits put together again.

Holla at me if you need anything.

Thanks all... The police, management, and myself all attributed this to a random break-and-entre, nothing fancy so you are probably right - it's not going to be easy finding this person/s.

Anyways, shit happens.... just hoping that it all works out very very soon!

No good Stan.

What time were you parked there?

Hopefully you get lucky. Dudes who broke into my brother's car last year were caught and charged and most of the stolen property recovered.

check ALL pawn brokers in the local area, deffinantly the work of needle nuggets.

Had a break in on my 34 not long ago, snapped my front bar in half, stole my AVCR, nismo gearknob and my video camera.

Found my stuff at cash converters, the guys were caught tried to plead not guilt and blamed drugs but they had been convicted many times for similar things.

anyway good luck

Shit stan sorry to hear mate, know just how you feel, had a fair bit of damage and stuff stolen from my last car :O

good luck finding anything out, Just Jap has windows and stuff, give them a call.

I havent seen any sign like that, however ive seen ones sponsored by NRMA i think that state "always lock your vehicle" thats bout it.

Will see if I can find any as Ill be up there today.

    • You're not the first person that's said that about this car lol. A Touring wagon GT in Spark yellow mica would be the dog's danglies 😆 I will keep an eye out for a future purchase for sure. The seats are almost like the OEM Recaros... electric adjustment for fore/aft and tilt movements except reclining.   
    • Yes!! I love these! It's a shame its not the wagon though!   Thank everything that's holy that it doesn't have the interior of the Aussie delivered ones. Those seats are so much nicer.  
    • I'm both sorry and thankful that you do that. 
    • 2001 BE5D Subaru Legacy B4 RSK (3rd gen) EJ208 (pink injector) Twin Turbo 280PS 5-speed manual Full time 4WD "RSK" grade which means all of the above LQC option which means stock rear spoiler  I got it primarily to export to someone outside Japan who was interested. These BE5 Legacy B4 RSKs are going through a bit of a resurgence right know in Japan as they are one of the few cars from the "turbo, manual, RWD/4WD, 280hp gentleman's agreement era" cars that don't require stupid money to purchase. Which for some people might be a good opportunity to get as a base for restoration. If I can't find anyone to purchase it I will certainly be doing that myself over the long term. Why? Because it's properly fast in stock form, handles well enough for a GT sedan, there's still enough aftermarket and (if you can wait a while) genuine part support to make it a restoration candidate (<-- that will only get worse over time so it's a case of do it now or choose get a BL5 4th Gen). Mechanically it's fine, has only 89,200kms on the odometer. The problem with this car is that the body and exterior trims are weathered from at least the last 10 years being parked outdoors. I'm the 3rd owner, the first owner was the one that had it for 14 years and barely drove it, had a low-speed front impact (which didn't damage anything behind the radiator support) and got it fixed and sold it. The 2nd owner put most of the kms on it and parked it outside for the last 10 years, hence the door rubbers have seen better days but if you overlook those cosmetic details, it presents pretty nicely. There is some minor rust on the LH rear wheel arch which I'll have looked at too at some stage.  Also as you'd expect from a car this age, the clear top coat is gone, leaving a satin finish on the roof.  Mechanically it's fine (as you would expect from a car with less than 100K kms) but the steering does feel slightly vague around the centre position at higher speeds. So first on the list is to get the steering rack bushes looked at. There's also the Lock button on the remote which doesn't work, but the Open button does.... it means that the anti-theft system thinks it's always open? It seems like if you open the car and don't start the engine within 3 mins or so the anti-theft kicks in again without any beeps or signals. So if you got to start it after that, it won't. You have to push the open button again. That's how I understand it anyway. Just a small irritation but not a big problem to sort out. There's only one mod, the Wangan SPL muffler. Just a tad louder than stock. It's a really good mod for those who don't want to wake the neighbours but still want to hear a more prominent unequal length header EJ20 sound. Anyway I hope to get all those things done eventually, that is unless someone wanted to import it to their country from Japan (where I live). I'm open for negotiations as I really would like a Skyline... but this will definitely suffice in the meantime 🙂 *Disclaimer: This is how I picked it up from the dealer, minus the stuff on the back seat. I haven't cleaned the engine bay or done a thorough exterior clean, aside from spray painting the wipers. 
    • Wow, even with the Audi logo centre caps. I love OEM wheel mismatches.
