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

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
