My car was broken into last night in my driveway. Everything smashed or stolen :D

I am - in a word - devestated ;)

The GTR-88 plates and all the Apexi gear (RSM, AVCR, boost guage) were among the things taken. If anyone hears of these and other items offered for sale 'cheaply' let me/police know.

I'm going off to cry :D

that sucks man ... my cousin had the exact same thing happened in his car .... he had no insurance ... they took 3 grand worth of audio and over a grand worth of gauges, boost controllers etc ... he was so devastated that he was going to sell it but now wants to do it all up again ...

OMG....

i am sorry to hear that jamez!!

how could people do that with no conscience?!

do u have insurance?

if i know anything about it..i would tell ya straight away....

u better watch out it mite be the neighbours around u....coz it will take them time to observe when is the best time and knowing the location to steal...!!

If i only know who did to the poor car and poor u i would make them lose everything thats attached to their body!

as long as u got insurance and no major damage...james don be upset...at least ur car is still here...just a little injured...i am sure that can be fixed right?:D

Thanks guys. I'm a bit upset about this. Nice to have some support ;)

Yes insurance covers most things (all of the car, none of the personal items). THe alarm was on but didn't go off. The doors were still locked this morning - they just smashed the windows.

Milk: I agree - I think the car has been cased. They knew just what they wanted - but smashed everything taking it out :D At any case - I'm going to move. Don't trust my neighbours now.

The Apexi gear is R33 specific (Ts and Rs) so - maybe someone will hear of it being offloaded? Lots of other personal items were taken (I left a bag behind the front seat - stupid) so I expect someone is pretty chuffed with their efforts.

Very upset. Taking it down to insurance assessment place now.

Will keep you posted.

good to know u got insurance jamez...take it easy hun

it will be ok soon...mite be a better idea to move to somewhere else tho...

eric...they are dumb....they even try to break into my car when they can see the blue LED going off AT MY UNI....made my battery went flat ...grrr those people just dont have hearts!

sorryz to hear the bad news james......yah id have second thoughts about ur neighbours too....mates of theirs could have come around and cased ur car out. at least ur covered!!

thats why i have second thoughts about mounting stuff like avcr's out in the open like that.

it is time to start a vigilante group

who has a panel van?

we will park a baited car in a dodgy area and hide in the van near it

and when we see someone go for it, we come out with baseball bats covered in barbed wire and bash the ****er and drag him back into the van and keep punching him till he passes out

then we strip him and dump him in the country far away so he can't get back to civilisation.

that should send out a warning to all those wannabe thieves out there. give them a good reason to quit. why need police for when we can serve ourselves.

hope you find out who did it jamezilla. if you do give us a call and we'll be out like batman and robin. hehe

death to all scum.

in the name of god, impure souls of evil thieves shall be banished into eternal damnation.

amen.

What date was your car broken into jamez? The post on that was on 04/12/03 11:53 PM.

omg james thats just wrong.... wtf are ppl going to do with the number plates?? they cant put them on their cars for **** sake so why steal them??

im all for the vigilante thing... ive got a few baseball bats lying around that havent been used for a while.

hey james post this around a few forums (even the NSW,WA, SA etc etc) and also the performance forums, MCCR wherever u can.

PS. PHAT32 is from these forums and i highly doubt that steve would have done it... he had those in his car.

i can only think of 3 reasons to stea plates...

1. Use them on a getaway car (but why bother if the cars stolen anyway), or in another state as you cant check plates from other states unless they call that state as the police dept dont have a massive database of plates from every state (dumbest idea ever)

2. To sell to some poor idiot who doesnt know theyre stolen (problem with that is that person, unless buying them via the internet, will have to have contact with the person who has them and as such will get found out when the person who buys them gets busted.)

3. Vanity reasons. (they keep a momento from each car they do over)

this is one of the bad things about public forums... and why i cant stress enough to ppl about posting things about their car like location and alarms (i know u havent posted about the alarm or anything james).

once again, sorry to hear it james.

they'd probably put the plates on a skyline, or anything that remotely looks like it and go for petrol runs. security cams in servos are a joke. at least they were when i used to work at one.

. . .

i am too connected to slip away. fade away. days away i still feel you. touching me. changing me. considerately killing me.

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
