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.

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
