My Car Got Keyed

After losing a close game of cricket yesterday, I came back to my car and found that some little shit had keyed my car (the boot).

Luckily it was only 1 panel, but it still annoys the crap out of me and will still cost quite a bit to fix (I'll need to get it resprayed since it went completely through the paint) - what possesses a person to do this sort of thing? Perhaps jealousy?

Anyway, it really put a dampener on what was otherwise a good day of cricket.

Have any of you had your cars keyed? It's just another reason that I will probably be selling my car next year - put simply, it attracts too much attention, and the fact that I don't have a garage to house it under, makes it a prime target overnight. Not to mention that amount of birdsh*t I wake up to each day! My rain shield on the drivers window also snapped off during the recent windy months we've encountered.

Cheers

Doesn't it just rot your socks, that anyone could have such little regard for another person's property.

Had mine keyed - LH door. Surprisingly almost identical to the key that was on the car before I bought it (owner had it fixed once he knew the car was "sold").

I've just left it - figured someone's done it once, they'll do it again.

Keying shits me to tears.

It's cowardly, it's expensive and it's a massive pain in the arse.

I'd rather some one come up to me with an issue than do a bitch thing like that behind my back.

Some people are disgusting.

I haven't had mine keyed but I went to one of the pubs in town (North Nowra Tavern) one night and when I came out only about an hour later this big patch on my LH door was covered in black crayon. (??)

Mine is a white Skyline so I freaked thinking someone had taken all the paint off this section but it was just crayon. Who does that? And no one else's car had been done so I was really pissed off that I had been targeted. Managed to get most of it out but it did leave some deep scratches in the door.

I think it's jealousy but who knows. I wouldn't sell your car over that though. Don't let them win.

my first car was a stock ea falcon and i got done by what looked like a set of needle nose pliers. there where 2 small dents and scratches about 1.5 inches apart like someone had tried to stab the bonnet with them. luckily they hadn't dragged them along. i just got some touchup paint and put it on to stop it rusting.

I hear ya, had a white skyline and two years ago during the grand prix I parked it in front of my friends place. came back and found someone had F#@$Kin kicked in the passengers side back panel just in front of the rear wheel and dented the hood. only had her for two months and figured that they were drunk or just coming back from the race all hyped or I bought it before they could but That f#$%$kr needs to [edit]!!!!

i had some worthless piece of shit screwdriver my boot lock, in addition to this they bent the actual mount (the hole it locks onto) so it dented the boot. Its just so pathetic that someone would do such a thing just because u have something better than them. its pure jealousy IMO.

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
