hey guys just thought id let you know that an attempt to steal my 33 GTR took place today. The only thing that saved it was the multipoint imobilisation on the alarm.

they are getting cunning thought i left my car for no more that 45min in Teatree plazer in the middle of the day and i parked it on its own in clear view.

someone witnessed it and called the cops, two undercovers came over apparently they patroll the car parks on random days (good to know) then they called in crime investigation and they dusted for prints very CSI.

lock em up boys and girls and for gods sake get an alarm system there on the prowl!

i was lucky all they wrecked was the ignition and the alarm siren

they were good no damage to the door lock and they had the car ready to go just couldnt start it.

ttp is known as one if not the biggest hot spot for car thieves....why even bother taking a 33 gtr to park there??

I know u shouldnt have to worry about shit like that, but dont bother parking anything expensive there!!

i had to go to motor vehicles across the road so i parked on the out skirts of the car park i normally wouldnt park it there but i guess you learn the hard way.

yep I don't park the R34 at TTP. Had my S15 badged there once and won't park there again.

I think it is just about time for vigilante activity, as suggested. Once we f$#k a few of them up bad enough and put their smashed up faces on the news, maybe other would-be thieves will think again before touching a Skyline :thumbsup:

I found out the other day my GT-R (that I have just sold) alarm system wasn't locking the passenger side door. God knows how long its been since I checked whether that door was locking.

I assume though, my car was not actually locked for oh, around 18 months! Scary stuff!

sounds fun but wouldn't make a difference.

if that was the case and people thought twice about commiting a crime if they new there would be a consequence, there would be no crime in the world would there?

hey i had the exact same thing happen to me there lil under a year ago, same deal less than 30min parking, no damage to door lock but plenty to ignition and immobilizer stopped them along with someone spotting them messing with my car. csi cops came they didnt find any prints but the witness said they were like 4 18 or so yr olds apparently 1 wearing holden top(what the..... stick to v8s), it was that car chase with the blue vp that went on for like 4hours heaps of people seen em weaving in traffic at like 180km/h cops apparently caught em in the end.

nice work legal system though, i get in more shit for driving my car than they do for trying to steal it and doing 180k's in wrong lane's

cost me a fair bit getting it fixed so im up for any traps and beat downs people wanna give :thumbsup:

I'm keen as mate, think i'd go a little too far tho........ "Darren stop hitting him" "no" "Darren he's unconcious" "I know"......LOL

Grab a carton of Coopers and were set Andrew!!

doesnt this all make you think owning one of these things is just a waste of time and money...?

dont get me wrong.... id like your opinions.

I think as a Skyline owner many would already know how much of a money pit owning one is!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
