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

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
