Sigh, well somone smashed the window on my baby tonight in the work carpark :) but they didnt take anything or go through anything so i assume the alarm scared them off, wouldnt suprise me if it was some pokie fiend looking for coin. Happened in the last 45mins a(around 12:30)of work as i checked on it a few times before then.

Exact same thing happened to me about a month ago.

Broad daylight on a friday afternoon in my work carpark in a very nearby suburb to where yours happened.

Pager alarm went off, and by the time I got downstairs was time enough for them to get back into their stolen (according to police) maroon r32 (I took the rego plate details), which I saw leaving the scene in a very suspisious manner.

I got a new window from import spares (sleaford rd, windsor gardens) for $110, and fitted it myself.

It pays to ring around, as prices varied to double what I ended up paying.

Not a hard job, but also not much skin left on my knuckles afterwards.

Worst part is that there seems no way of easing this spate of import break-ins.

Police say that they have caught the people responsible, and then guess what.....

Sorry to hear that mate, I can empathise, Deluxe and I were recently victims too literally in our own backyard in the same area. We got off with damaged doors.

Damn this stupid shit!!

Don't leave your cars in that area people! i remember seeing a silver/white(it was night time) 32 follow me into my street and almost watch me reverse into my driveway! I just thought it might have been one of you guys coming to say "Bloody G'Day" but when i got out of my car, the 32 took off slowly! I did put it up into the spotted section but with no reply, so now after reading this i thing they either have lines themselves or steal them to get to another one!

So if there is some scetchy suss c#$t in a Skyline checking you out more than what he/she should be, go smash thier heads in and go from there.....lol

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
