Someone attempted to breakin to my R32GTR today. :rant:

A screwdriver was used to make an attempt to get into my car . Nice hole just behind the drivers side door handle.

Car was sitting out the front of my work in front of the office. My car has an alarm and imobiliser , and a unique sounding exhaust. Everyone at work would know the sound of the car so if they got in and started the car , we all would of been aware .

Guess what , there is video surveillance . Hope they smiled for the camera's. :ph34r:

I was stupid enough the other day to post a response to thread detailing the where abouts of my car today :blush: and walla, car broken into. Car has been there for 5 yrs and nothing until the above mistake.

My car wont be there anymore .

I enjoy the drive ' but mycars safety is more important , looks like weekend cruises only now.

SAU'ers beware as this says that the responsible party are on this forum , reading our topic's.

Therefore I would recomend that everybody take extreme caution on what they say.

I have noticed quite a few of us mention :eg Gee that is just around the corner from me (stolen car threads especially) and this is just as good as giving these mongrels your address. :cheers:

Guilty party, I hope your reading this ! :w00t:

Hope the video surveillance took some clear shots of their face so we can bring their scum bag ass to justice! OR we could always go vigilante on their asses! :cheers:

my car will be parked at sturt police station tomorrow if u wanna have a look guys, feel free to try and break in :cheers:

This probably wouldn't deter these clowns........after all, they steal police cars while a cop is attending a motor vehicle accident only a few metres away!?

Wouldn't mind rigging up a high voltage steering wheel but knowing my luck, I'd forget to disarm it one morning and toast myself. :w00t::blush::ph34r:

Good to see they didn't get away with your car at least Michael.

And only yesterday when replying to somebody about where I live did I say I won't go to the detail of the exact suburb for this exact reason.

It's sad. Suprised these low lifes can even read let alone have interweb access :P lol

The owner will be at my work tomorow so I can look through the footage myself.

I will post up any details of the car and person involved ie type of car and colour and brief description of those involved.(except plates of vehicle , that goes to the police with a copy of the video) :P

There is one other thing though .

A couple of weeks ago , a red 34 2door skyline pulled into the carpark and stopped for a while (motor left running ) and sped off out of the carpark when approached by a fellow staff member.My car alarm went off and I came running out into the car park to see it taking off down the road .

If this person is on this forum please say so ,(that way we can rule you out of the suspect list) other wise people I would be warey of any car similar hanging around your beasts .

I didn't mind people looking at the car but would be nice if they introduce themselves first .

The police will probably give them 6 months tops if they catch them.

A baseball bat to the front of the knees will slow them down for a lot longer (as Tangles and a few others will attest to)

I think its time that this was handeled outside of the law (provided video is clear on identifying the guilty pri*k)

The car was nice and clean , so I was tempted to take it down to the cop shop to see if they could get some finger prints of it . Window tint and exhaust made me think about defect so I changed my mind .

Would of been typical , you know , go down being the victim of attempted breakin only to get victimised more and get a canary shoved on the window .

Guess what , there is video surveillance . Hope they smiled for the camera's. :ph34r:

Guilty party, I hope your reading this ! :nyaanyaa:

Nice one.. well not about the hole in your door but way to go on video surveillance, reckon you can get a copy and post it on youtube for us?? :)

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
