As the title says, my car just got bricked.

It's an MR30 skyline sedan.

I heard a wierd sound while I was sitting at my computer, so I went to go outside and have a look and heard a smash. When I opened the door I heard a shuffeling and I couldn't work out what was going on.

The police came around but chances are I reckon they wont be able to do anything about this. I don't really have many enemies so it sorta rules that out as a possible reason. I think.

The most anyone has ever really done before is slashed one of my tires, I reckon it's probably the same person. I hate this, if someone has a problem with me then they should just confront me instead of being a coward about it and striking when my back is turned. The reason why I think this is specific is because my tire was slashed and it has been slashed before.

On the otherhand, the pizza bar up the road got its window smashed like 10mins or whatever before mine got done so maybe this is random, or maybe a couple of guys are going around trying to dishout their own grade of retribution for small things that probably aren't even worth thinking about.

This sucks.

Man that's messed up. I had that sort of stuff happen around my way, so much so i'd tell all my mates to park in the driveway.. these days it's not so bad, but yes I understand how frustratrating it is when someone does something like that and there's nothing you can do about it.

Where you at if you don't mind me asking?

Ya, what also sucks is that my insurance wont cover it. It's only 3rd party. I wish I had a garage.

Flinders park.

That sucks man! Had some little shits today near where I live throw something at my car as I drove past. I stopped, looked in the rear view mirror and saw the little coward start to shit himself. Did a u-turn, got outta my car and drilled him. Shoulda seen the look on his face :P His friends who were laughing when he threw what ever it was, distanced themselves from him and kept on talking to themselves like they didn't know the guy. When I asked him why he threw something at my car (turns out it was a rock - lucky he's a crap shot) he responded with "It's fun"

These idiots seriously have nothing better to do than destroy other peoples property, it's a sad world now where we have to watch our little toys 24/7 in fear of some jealous ingrate doing something to it

I'll be hitting up a wreckers. I'm using this an exuse to borrow some money off my parents so I can do it myself and then buy other shit for my project on the side. (which thankfully wasn't targeted, althought the front windscreen is already cracked on that car)

Maybe I should get two windscreens while I'm there, one for my norm car and one for my project. f**kit I'll prolly do that, though I wont be left with too much money remaining to get the other shit I'm after. I really need a house with a garage, just another excuse to move out after I sort my project car.

I really can't stand disrespectful people like this. It really is a satisfying to scare people shitless after they do things like this. It's too bad I couldn't see the f**kers. I think they must've had a get away car come to think of it. I remember hearing something take off abruptly.

yeah that sucks and if it had hit the car and u hit him your up for assault (assuming hes of the age for you to hit not older child)

or if it hit your car u chased him and HELD him to call the cops his parents would slap assault charges on you :) cant win

I know how infuriating this is. I went out 1 nite down Henley Beach way & left my car parked on the street. While I was gone some wankers felt the need to make a mess of my car by throwing an egg at it. Not only did it leave a mess it also shattered the paint where it hit, & I'd only had it resprayed less than 6 months before.

This is now going to be getting fixed up by Doyles' while the car is in there. But I swear if I caught the a#@h@*$s that did it, there'd be broken limbs.

Youth have nothing to fear when it comes to consequences so they have no respect, I'd love to show them what it means when someone doesn't respect them........

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics

      @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
