Fellow Skyliners,

I need your urgent help - particularly those that live in VIC - MELB.

Last night, I parked my car oustide my front yard for once (not garaged) as our house had guests staying over.

Anyways, at around 4am in the morning, some farkers came and smashed my two side windows in a bid to steal my TomTom GPS system and my Pioneer DVD deck. My trusty Viper Alarm sounded like a motherfarker and those smucks quickly dashed off with only the TomTom in hand - they even forgot the charger (which makes the TomTom now somewhat uselss).

Long story - short, of course I am hurt and very upset; but the main thing now is to get my two side windows replaced as I need my car to get to work etc and cannot allow dust, sand etc to get into my car through those windows... does anyone know of a reliable, reasonably-priced automotive glass provider/fitter that can get my side windows fixed quick-smart? If so, some contact details and a ball-park figure would be nice...

Many thanks to all... I really hate thieves... God damn them.... arrhhhh....

Regards,

Bad luck Mate.

The UK is rife with this problem at the moment. As GPS devices there can integrate with the traffic sensors on the motor ways and warn you of traffic problems, loads of people have them in their cars, without even using the navigation part of them.

This has lead to a new round of car break ins. It used to be for the stereos and car phones, but now they just go for the satnavs. Even locking them in the glovebox does not deter as 90% of people leave the stand fastened to middle of the windscreen so the thief will just break in, look in the glovebox, and will usually find the charger as well.

Thanks guys - thanks for the support... damn it.... I ended up calling O'farken Brien's.... and they charged me $500 to get both windows replaced with tint.... but the thing is, my beast is now back on the roads so yeah... at least that's ok....

Yeah, I must agree SATNAV's are the latest craze... with mobile phones costing lesser and lesser each day and they're so affordable, no one really wants one... GPS's are the boy-toy now... so if you have a SAT NAV... I would take it with you and make sure there's no trace of it showing so that the bastards don't ram your doors... but yeah, damn, if I got my car stolen I really wouldn't know what to do.... damn it!

Any similiar bad lucks, fellas?

Thanks again..

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
