Well it happen... my R33 was broken into last night between 10pm 15/6 and 6pm 16/6. They took what every they could get their dirty hands on, Avcr, complete stereo, sunnies etc... they messed with the engine bay ripped the dash out.

Anyway, just thought i'd spread the word.. never leave your pride and joy in an apartment 'security' carpark. Camera's, security patrol, etc dont mean sh!t.

Peace out

Didnt you have an alarm? Thank god for quality installs and microwave sensors inside the cabin.

That was the first thing I put in it.. they managed to get by it without setting it off. Cops said there pro's and I was lucky they didnt get away with it.. i have to admit the cops were really good to me which was quite a surprise!

Hey SiksII, Was at broadway, just next to UTS..

thanks for all ur support guys, spend the day fixing everything up.. $400 later the interior looks good again.. now to find a new stereo and avcr....

Cheers

That sucks, i knew that carpark was dodgy, i shop there quite often at night now i will be even more worried!

And to everyone saying stuff like get a better alarm etc, do you guys honestly think it will make a difference? You are wrong, who cares if you have microwave sensors what difference will it make? the theif will get in the car and the first thing they will do is pop the bonnet and shut the siren up(20 seconds if your lucky!). Besides since when do people take notice of sirens anyway! so dont think that your car is secure just because it has any type of fancy alarm, its not!

Anyway JZ lucky at least u still have the car, hope you have luck with fixing it up!

Thanks mate, cars pretty much fixed up. just gotta get a few more bits..

It actually happened in my apartments 'security' car park not at the shops.. I live right next to broadway shopping centre.. Im very grateful they couldnt get it started.

for piece of mind im gonna upgrade my alarm system.. i mean they know exactly what it is now so its easy pickings..

It makes me sick these pr!cks get away with these sorta things.

There's so many incidents happening with Skylines at the moment... makes me question just how secure it really is "anywhere" without my eyes on it.

I have a few friends that park around that area at night, might be time to issue some warnings~

Sorry to hear mate, but as mentioned good to hear it wasn't stolen and the damage is nearly all fixed.

Thanks Satanic, yeah better warn him/her.. theres a few nice liners around here.

A bmw was broken into last night. Someone saw them and raised the alarm, thank god there's still some decent people in the world :D

What sort of alarm was it and how was it installed? It have battery backup siren? I guess its not too much effort to shut the siren off but still i'd rather make them bloody work for it. Just thought seeing as you had to experience it you'd be a bit more giving with details to maybe help others learn from your experience.

Hey Xizor,

It had a A1000 (mongoose??) yeh had a battery back up, boot, bonnet switch, kill switch.. im not sure who installed it, i remeber the previous owner saying something about life style store? anyway they got into it with out setting anything off.

Hope that helps..

    • Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.       
    • Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.    
    • Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!
    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
