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..

    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋
