No worries :happy:

To the original thread poster... may I ask why u didnt get the car towed? Surely u'd have known leaving a car like that on a road means bad news?

leaving an import on the road to springbrook is suicide

what the people take so we can keep an eye on classifieds?

no, wouldn't have done shit

would someone have come to stop them? would they have run away? would anyone care?

i have better deterrant devices avaliable to me now =)

man, if i was watching tv and i heard my car alarm going off outside i'd be going to have a look

car thieves aren't going to hang around a car in a suburb street for long with an alarm blaring

id never ever leave my car on the side of the road unattended for long peroids of time. If she breaks down on the highway, im sleeping in the back for the night.

+1 that and ill call my mates to come for a sleep-over lol..

so can we have a list of things stolen so we can all keep an eye out.?

yer, i would have organised a towey pronto

lol.. thats crazy.. hehe

but dosn't it suck waiting 1/2 hour+ just to change a tire?!

have you actually done this? cause i would have loved to have seen the racq dudes face lol

I take it you are quite capable of doin it yourself?

lol if you get ultra care you can tow what ever you want for nuffing, lol i get them to tow at least 2 cars a month...... and then trye changes are good cos the do it like in 10 mins just gotta wait 1hr for them to get there lol

This didn't happen to be a dark blue R33?

Think I saw it Saturday morning on the way to Murwillumbah.. all smashed up.. and thought "ouch"

yep thats the one mate......wish ida had it insured or sumthin im so dissapointed police arnt doing anything

Well if the -poor guy would give details of what they took we may at least be able to keep an eye out for cheap said items.

DARK BLUE sparco steering wheel, gear knob hand brake, blitz sbc i color, drift exhuast tip,(left the rest of the exhuast on), hks ssqv, air induction pipe / pod , intercooler n piping, few other bits and pieces but they completly destroyed everything they touched......its gonn cost a hell of a lot to fix.....if its even fixable at all

no insurance and u left it on road all night. were u high?

lol again.. hehe.. i dont want to be mean, but, this shit has been happending around the world for along time, and here in oz, i feel very bad for what happened, but, if you have something nice that others want in this day and age you need to keep it safe. why do we think that most houses/business's have huge alarm systems and malls have secruity, if the option is there, some people will do anything and live in the now to steal it.. just like leaving money sitting on the ground.. loox like we learn from our lessions though!!...:)

i get my girlfriend to park behind me so she parks me in every night, as i dont trust ppl, and this is in my own drive way!

poor skyline!!!..damn!

AFIAK there is only a police force on the Goldcoast in name only.. They're extremely under-manned, and absolutely useless for anything other than a few defects now and then. As for solving real crime, forget about it.

So here especially you have to be vigilant with all security.

    • 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.
