thats all crazy talk.

dont stop living your life with your loved one (enter family, friend, car here)

with the car, simply insure it for as much as possible......... if something is going to happen to it, then its all about 'chance' in my opinion, not too much you can do about it. Even if you wrap the car in cotton wool and keep it in a secure lock up garage, something could still happen to it, by chance.

bad luck, but good luck that you still have you gtr to enjoy. so enjoy it.

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!!

hahaha i love it, i can just imagine you doing that :D

good to hear they didn't get to far with it :)

here here Brendan the most sence talked so far

did they set the alarm off or manage to bypass the siren

by the look of it they used a strip down the driverside window into the door to get the door open when they opened the door the siren went off they then poped the bonet and ripped the wire out of the siren they didnt do mutch damage other than the siren wiring and the ignition barrel. lucky Japanese motor sport had one they could sell me.

they had no idea about the imobiliser and that is what saved the car im so glad they didnt stuff up the door locks

and the most anoying part is the fact that i have a new ignition but to get the old one out i had to take out two tamper proof screws, the bastards have no head or any way to get them out, i had to drill a hole and use a punch to slowley hammer the screws around till they got loose enough to move by hand

you know guy some of this talk does worry me

NOW i know sum of you guys are JOKING and only venting

BUT remember if any vigilante behavior is executed the this would make you no better than the common criminal and leave you open to prosecution

and remember its a public forum and you don't know who if viewing this thread even right now there is a guest viewing

I work at TTP and I've been around there long enough to know that this stuff happens all the time. Thats the reality. It sucks I know.

Then you think, maybe it isnt worth driving your car around etc etc, but in the end what did you buy it for??? Like someone said before: ENJOY IT. Honestly I think twice before I take my car out and thats the worst part!! I never used to even consider what car I drove, what ever was on the driveway I took...

The good comes with the bad- Compromise :)

well the car is all go again i put in the new ignition after having the pins set to my key the alarm siren was replaced.

so now its just a bad memory.

i heard from one of the undercover officers and they told me that they got a match from the prints they took so hopefully they will get the sons of biaches!

i think its time to put the ugly club lock back on just as a visual deterant because there is know way they would know that the car is imobilised but they cant miss the trusty club lock.

Geese, I am liking owning my skyline less and less in some ways. I love driving it and it such a cool car, but at the rate they are getting stolen it is almost turning them into a cruise only car. You can't leave them anywhere without that fear no matter what security system you have.

Any those guys that tried to boost your car will probably just get a slap on the wrist and told not to do it again.

As I see it, if you sell up because of the thieves, you are really letting them win. I know that I sure as hell won't stop driving my car any less just cos some assholes want to try to steal it. Just work to minimise risks; I see people park their cars down dark alleyways and think that you might as well have a bright neon sign saying "STEAL ME"

You can leave them anywhere, just need enough kill switches and know theres no chance of them starting it, when ever you leave it, take out head unit and hide any other 'less' valuables under the seat or lock them in the glove box so they are out of site.

Im going to get small stickers made up that say: Surveilance camera's in use in this vehicle, enter at own risk!

If your worried about your car being stolen, only take it to places that you know your only going to be a few minutes, or you can see it at all times.

And i agree with Heslo, Don't let the theives win!

you read my mind my friend..read my projected thoughts like a newspaper.

+1 for the stake out.

I have some great paint stripper that would go nicely on their nuts. Those of you who have used it know how much it burns and how hard it is to get off your skin!

BRING ON THE NAPARM!!!

What are they going to do go to the cops. Just tape them breaking into the car and say they pulled a knife on you when you comfronted them. The paint stripper might be hard to explain, as well as the fact they've been lock in my pit for a couple weeks but i'd TRY to explain.

you guys make this thread out to sound like every man and his dog is after nicking a skyline!!

bloody hell. I'm from Adelaide, now in Tokyo and id like to say that all this talk is deterring me from even thinking about having a skyline when and if i go back!

Jesus. Adelaide has a population of only one million people. I live in a city that has more than the entire population of Australia COMBINED and yet for a reason i cant fathom more skylines are getting stolen there as opposed to here...!!!!????

what the bloody hell is going on there/??????

cant people there keep their filthy hands to themselves?? :worship::):rofl::rant: :rant: :rant::rofl::spank: :spank:

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
