This happened to me a few years back with my previous car.

Woke up on a saturday afternoon, after a late night, and was chillin out around the house. After about an hour or so my old man walks in and cailmly asks "why did you leave your doors open last night?"

I was like WTF!! Ran outside to find all doors open, window smashed, etc. Lucky for me, if you can call it that, is that they only managed to steal my head unit and cd changer, as my amps behind the seat (in the ski hole) were "pop-rivited" to a metal "false wall" (they bent the bracket trying to wedge them out, but with 8 thick rivots hold each one, fat f@rken chance) and they could not open the boot.

I swear if i catch a prick breaking into my property, they will taste the metal shaft sitting near my bed.

End of rant.

Hey , i think that custom plates always make your car more of a target.. they are alot easier to remember.

give you an example - a guy cut me off in october last year.. i beeped and at the next lights he got out of his car and threatened to kill me, then tried to run me off the road after we started moving again.

what the stupid **** in his homo comondoor forgot was he had personalised plates that i still have not forgotten. When the times right I will call in a favour, find his address, and spray paint a nice msg on his car warning him to never ever act like he did that day... or ill be back :rolleyes: who wants to help !!

hmmm.. digging up old dirt..

but yes, i think personalised plates aren't always the best idea. While its fine for joe public (unless you make 'em angry) i have a feeling cops remember a customised plate much easier.. and if they grow a hate towards you then you're screwed.

his plates are really nice ..

i hate thieves .. my mate's car got broken into last week, they took everything inside the car .. his stereo is worth 5 grand .. his wallet, hp, snooker cue, cds .. all were taken as well ..

hope the cops will do something about this instead on picking on imports ..

but what if he wanted back his " GTR88 " plates ? how much would they charge and how long would it take to get it ?

tough luck, u cant get replacements, coz when my friend lost his plate they tell him to chose a new 1 instead

coz then if he use the same plate again wich is possible

but if got pulled over by cops, they will find out that the plate is stolen(which was stated by u to vic roads) and will go thru many procedures to prove u are the person who reported and u are the original owner of the plate. u have to make a statement and state which cars will be carrying that plate.

i think to avoid all hassles....u shoulda just chose a new 1

Re: Plates.

I still own the 'licence' to the GTR-88 plates, and they are for sale :(

All I need to do is pay VicRoads $98 for new plates (in any colour) - which I will do when someone wants to buy them.

Vickii: Police belive the plates wont be used as they are too noticable - probaby up on someone's wall as a trophy :P

I still am burning over this whole thing. So much 'personal' stuff was in the car (and taken) it has really f*cked me up. Things like photos, documents - stuff these f*cks would have just tossed - is so important to me. Grrrr.

Still upset. Car back in 2 weeks.

i dont blame u james!

why take stuff that is of no use to u? i mean its bad enought them doing the act in the first place, but taking that kind of stuff that you cant really replace so easily? wankers.

cheer up bro... at least u still have one of the sexiest 33 GTRs about :P

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
