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!

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.

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,

The new alarm goes in today so no drama's there.. :D

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..

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.

      Best place to order Authetic R32 Parts in Japan

      Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)

      Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...

      Blue slip

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...

      Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
