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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
