Glad to hear it. We don't hear enough stories of guys getting their cars back from thieves in reasonable condition.

Especially not something like a Skyline, where the big spare parts market makes stripping stolen vehicles quite attractive.

Shame you missed the drive on Friday, but I will expect you down at Wakefield. :-)

very very lucky mate.... id say your car would be worse for wear after a thrashing from them, but as i hear your off to wakefield, so they just warmed her up :D

4 guys tried to steal my mates 180 on friday night.....

happening everywhere fellas

just waiting for the police to finish up the forensic. If they do get caught....well, i'll be pressing some outrageous charges on them.

From what the police told me, the only damage is to the ignition area where they used the screw driver, but I'll be taking it to a mechanic nontheless to get a quick check, then to sterilise the car.

Lingering - quick question - did you have an alarm/immobiliser.. from the sounds of it you didn't?? Just checking.. you might have said it on the first page - but i'm too lazy to check..

If not - you will need one to get comprehensive insurance.. first 2 things anyone that buys a car should get - best $3000 you could ever spend on a car.. seeing as it's better to have one than have it stolen..

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
