GTR-32 Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Everytime my cars in the driveway i take the battery out, 2 minute job. Plus i have the spare (tractor) tyre on the front so kinda puts ppl of stealing it. After seeing the RAA open the car with a piece of wire and a triangle shaped piece of wood, makes ya think how easy a skyline is to steal without an alarm - might just be 32's that are easy but yeh. And yeh hope to hear everything is ok with your car. hopefully they cought whoever stole it and you find out who they are!.

Trav33 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 Clutch has burnt out completely, and cannot transmit any power - it was slipping under power before, was already booked into Boost Worx. Thats probably why the car was dumped on Prospect Road, because the clutch failed completely. Apart from the broken window, not much damage. Little personal belongings gone, they took my old dash lights from the centre console worth about $1. They took my safety flare. Could have been heaps worse. Thanks for keeping ya eyes out guys, and for your messages of support. Everyone who doesnt have an immobiliser + alarm - please learn from my experience! i told you that you would get her back mate! Yes you did - what cross lotto numbers should i pick for this Sat night? good to hear its been found hopefully no blown engine or difftime to get an alarm me thinks George from APS is on holidays as of last night - his wife has a bun in the oven which was due to arrive last night! My car will be locked in the garage with some fuses pulled until George is back to fit my alarm! heard their was a high speed chase involving a skyline which got away in sa today didnt happen to be yours? I heard a white nissan was in a chase, I didnt know for sure that it was a skyline. Mine was missing from Monday morning until Tuesday lunch time, not sure if thats in the time frame of the chase.

Tangles Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 good to hear youve got her back. wow - mate, 1st modification should always be an alarm. search ebay if finances are lacking. I got mine off ebay (1st purchase for the car), and had it installed asap along with a few other electrical items (boost controller, safc and alarm). Was $120 for wiring those 3 items up at Graham West Workshops (they outsource the electrician jobs, ring and ask who perhaps?).

Hotwire Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Alternatively, see the guys at GT Autosound. I had them install an alarm on my R33 just after I bought it (2 weeks after I bought it, wouldnt drive it till it was done) and they did a top job with great service.

Trav33 Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 (edited) I've got a lot of respect for George, Adelaide Pro Sound - so i'd like to stick with him. The car can stay locked in the garage until he comes back to work. But thanks for the tips re other trusted installers.

Rekin Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hooray you got your car back! My clutch is slipping, i dont think ill change it for security purposes Get an alarm with all the bells and whistles now, no skimping out. You're lucky its only $1000 for the best alarm and not $15,000 for a new skyline. - Patrick Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169456-r33-stolen-from-burton/page/3/#findComment-3141062 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pauly33GTS-t Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 windows arent to cheap are they, as rekin said, spend 1000 bucks on this, dont go cheap, get an alarm with all black wiring, and many features, and dont get one thatll annoy you in the long run. It'll be the best peace of mind. Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/169456-r33-stolen-from-burton/page/3/#findComment-3142285 Share on other sites More sharing options...
