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!

    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
    • We have one that holds 2.8L of water. On floor carpet that hasn't been touched in 2 or 3 years, will take a minimum of 2 fills of the tank to do a bedroom, and that's going AROUND the bed.   In the cruiser, I used an ENTIRE 2.8L tank, just on the front passenger footwell. But it had some fungus growing, and had been full of mud from being used as a 4WD for many years. I can do that floor again, and it will still pull mud out. However, the water now only looks dirty, not pitch black and leaving full sludge in the bottom of the tank it sucks back into. Oh, and, this is about a $1500 unit.
    • This is mine, works a treat for the cars, suction is good, I use the Bissell clean and protect stuff I have found giving it a good spray and light scrub with the soft brush on the head of the nossle for carpet, and a rub with a microfibre for cloth seats and cloth door trims, prior to another quick spray before vacuuming it up works the best @GTSBoy You would surprised on what it gets out of carpet and seats that actually "look" clean, I recommend that you test drive yours when you have a little time to kill, then post pics of the muddy looking water that I believe you will find
