Came out after work in town to find my Skyline had the handle popped, dash cowling torn off, ignition barrel on the ground and wires flopping about.

Fortunately it was still there but it certainly does f*ck me off that you can't have anything decent and not have to worry about it all the time. I usually borrow the missus' car when i know i have to leave it places but seriously does make you wonder about the scum out there. I really hope somebody other than the 5 0 catch the people out there who are doing this as they need to be taught a good old fashioned lesson.........

Hopefully there's not more stories like this but with plenty of scumbags out there it wont be im sure

Damn dude sorry to hear, what time did it happen? and how did you get it home? Crap there really must be some complete D#$ks out there targeting Skylines, Thats it mine only leaving home when i'll be with it all the time! Might pay for everyone to keep an eye on sus people out the front of thier house in case they are finding out daily patterns.

Oh and i've said it before, leave the Line locked up at home and drive something like this..........http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=137059 It might not be anywhere as good as driving the Line but hey, it only takes them once to take your car!

Fark....i know mine was stolen, currently with insurance assessor. Hope that these guys get caught as obviously someone has developed a way to easily get through the skylines door locks. Out of curiousity where was this abouts? as i know down here at Morphettville and Edwardstown they have been targeting all forms of imports in the last two weeks!

It was on the outskirts of town, got an immobiliser and alarm but really who pays too much attention when alarms go off these days. It's sad times when you cant even leave your car somewhere without stressing constantly. I'll be on the bus and once it's fixed will debate whether it's even worth all the hassles of keeping it. Hopefully can convince the old boy he needs another car in the stable!

just get like alarm/immob. Its the first thing i did after i got my car.

i was at a mates place one night and there were 5 cars parked out the front, my 32 and 4 other average cars. all of them got broken into except mine, as they saw the flashy light and just didnt wanna risk it.

so it pays to get an alarm and at least 2 immob installed.

after reading all this theft stuff im thinkin of geting the removable steering wheel thingy.. just for exta extra security

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
