Just to let everyone know that the heat has brought out the thieving element in force!

I work on Constitution Ave up near the defence offices. At some stage today there were multiple break-ins which were done by smashing windows rather than the old screwdriver in the lock trick. My genius office manager heard several alarms going off but was too stupid to say or do anything (she is closest to the street side windows)!!!

I would not be suprised if they also hit the easy pickings of the big open defence carparks.

Luckily for me I catch the bus Mon-Fri and just use my baby for weekend fun (dirty pun unintended). Pitty that this kind of topic has to be my first post but I thought everybody ought to know.

So be on the lookout and hope for the best but always plan for the worst.

Wagga has had heaps of break in and home invasions over the past week, as well as a few cars going missing and heaps broken into (around here its usually a broken window).

When I had to park in "uncovered" parks, I always had a bomb just to drive there, a clublock just to make niking it a little bit harder and left it open. It was gone through a few times, but never went missing.

It sucks that you can't just drive whatever you want to work though.

That really does suck! You spend all this time and money on your car and someone just takes it away from you. I spent all this money on Soundsteam gear and it was stolen out of the garage! Pissed me off considering it took us ages to save up for that gear and it was top of the line and a lot of it!!!

I just hope that nothing gets stolen from anyone else so everyone can enjoy their Christmas!!

I remember reading about that on the forms a wile ago, man it sucks. I’m still trying to replace all my gear. It’s like you said it takes forever to save up for the good stuff. As I don’t like to by the cheap gear either. Then add that on top of every thing else that needs to be done, engine mods, gauges ect…….. I need a better paying job!

Yeah I am currently working three jobs (while doing a law degree mind you) and really upsets me knowing that someone who probably has never had a job in his/her life has got my $20k worth of soundsteam gear! The police knew who it was that stole it and was able to get back jewellery and other things but unfortunetaly my gear seemed to have been so hot that it got passed on really quickly.

Just really annoying when you work so hard to get top stuff for something you love (in this situation, your car) and then someone who deserves something from the gutters gets it all.

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
