Just got badged!!

Dirty F***ers!

I was at my GF's in Chipping Norton and was only away from my car between 6pm and 8:00pm and the the bastards hit me front, back and sides! They've jimmy'd the boot lock out and screwed the boot. The rest of the paint work looks ok...

I'd spent the whole day driving around the country side getting quotes on bits and pieces for my car and had made a few fixes to the point where I was extremely happy with the days achievments... and this goes and happens. I know they were there this morning and the car was only left unattended for about an hour while at Warringah mall having lunch. I'm positive they were there then!

Man! I am sooo dirty! :goddam:

I called the cops and asked if there was anything i could do about it and they pretty much said it wasn't worth their time... Making a report and taking it down to the station shortly... Won't be worth claiming on insurance, the excess will be heaps more than the cost to repair...

I'm also writing a letter to the units' manager requesting better security and to repair the flood light that is sitting there broken for months... Apparently there has been other occurences of this sort of stuff going on around the area.

How brave are they though!? only a couple of hours with people coming home all the time and driving into the lockup parking either side of the visitor parks...

Does anyone know a good place around Sydney (pref. West) to replace these parts. Nissan dealers and Justjap spring to mind. Any ball park figures of what I'd be looking at? at least a couple of hundred I'd presume for the front SII badge, 2x GT badges and new lock for boot.

Anyone else had this happen? Did a search through the forums and noticed that a guy in Perth had gone through the same thing and had posted. Presume that it's pretty frequent.

I'm off to make a nasty poster to stick to the wall where my car was parked... Feel a BIT better now i've got that off my chest. If anyone, by some very small chance, hears about anything to do with this, I'd be very appreciative... :box:

Thanks for the suggestions guys. In Surfers atm. This happened the night before I left, so it put a bit of a dampener on things. Will sus it out when i get home.

I'll be keeping a look out for that white van Brody. You live around the area?

There's 2 other skylines that live in the complex. That reminds me, there's skylines everywhere up here! Have especially seen a heap of done up R31's.....

Don't think the GF will let me and one won't fit in the suitcases as they are already filled with girly clothes etc. :)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
