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

    • PWM enters the chat, no more melty bits. You never drive your car at 100% all day, why does your fuel pump need to be at 100% all day?
    • Haha that's wholesome as! Looks like we're raising a generation of female rev heads and classic shit box owners 馃ぃ
    • Haha nice, my kids are the same two older boys say cars are boring while younger girls like them. My 1.5yo daughter watches D1GP on YouTube with me, holding a toy plate for steering wheel and making brmm brmm noises
    • Took the car out to see if it still starts, sure does. Daughter wanted to for a spin too, she loves it when it doses, also cries when we come home and try to take her out of the baby seat 馃ゲ  I actually put the seat in for her brother, but he absolutely hates the shitbox. Anyhow, so after looking at real boats, and transoms, bait tanks etc. and scupper valves attached to them, I came up with ideas to improve the catch can. The primary goal was to stop the interior smelling like vented catch can shit when the windows are down OR when the HVAC is not recirculated. My catch can has a sump drain/feed at the bottom, 2x cam cover inlets, 1x outlet back to the intake pipe and 1x vent at the top. The initial theory was at idle, and off boost there would be just enough suction from the intake pipe (pre turbo) to pull back any smelly shit from the catch can before it could escape out of the vent (which does have 1x layer of foam and a fine mesh screen on top). It kind of works, however on hot days, the motor is breathing more than the suction provided from the intake pipe (pre turbo) and there's a bit of vapours escaping (not a bit amount, but enough to piss me off). I could have just sealed off the vent, however it would mean each time I take it to the track or decide to drive it with a bit of enthusiasm, I would need to remove the seal. To address this, using scupper valve idea, I used a 3mm sheet of rubber and cut essentially a valve that requires a bit of pressure to crack open and vent. Took the shit box for a drive today, came back and parked the car. No heavy stench, great success 鈽猴笍 I still would swap for a F80 LCI or W204 2012+ C63 AMG, if anyone is keen 馃槄
