Hey guys, i went out to my car this morning to go to work, opened the drivers door and was greeted by a limestone rock sitting in the drivers seat with glass everywhere :down:

All they took was my camera which was sitting on the floor (out of sight) and they left my helmet and CD case on the passenger seat, they didnt even go in the centre console or glove box (which has 2 bags of $1 ad $2 coins) but they dented the metal around the window (like they missed when they threw the rock. . . retards)

Rang the cops and put in a report but they said they cant do anything, so yeah. . im pissed off as most people would be :P

Does anyone know where to get a passenger door window for a 93 mark 4 supra? And roughly what the cost is? Are they hard to fit by yourself? Im just guessing that its not that common a car so im hoping a wreckers has one. . worst case is having to get one from japan . .

Hope everyone elses morning is better than mine. . . .

Daniel - Sorry to here :( its sucks trust me my car got smashed!!

how badly is it ??

can you show us pics maybe its fixable

otherwise you can try KYP - ben and ask he has alot of halfcuts

The dents arnt that bad but still thats not the point . . its still dented. . . the worst part is the glass . . i dont think the vaccume cleaner will get it all out, and i dont really want glass splinters in my ass

Is there a special way to get it out? or just get new seats?

Im sorting out the pics now

Heres some pics

As you can see the 3 dents arnt that bad but still i want them fixed. . . and where the rocks come through its ripped the door trim when it hit the drivers door.

But as you can see they left the helmet and cds on the seat and took the camera that was harder to get, plus i got very dark tint and its hard to see in during the day so would have been harder at night, even with a torch would have been hard. . . wankers :(

i've just been through something similar to you dude...

my brother in law has a TME EVO and parked right out the front door like 2 metres away they smashed his frame with a brick, we ran outside when we heard the alarm and they were long gone...

THEN two weeks later i hear tires squeal off then my brother in law runs in and says 'dude, that's your alarm'... we run outside and my rear windscreen totally shattered, car is gone...

and WHAT the F*CK we don't have any idea as to why this would happen besides the fact that we live in a really dodgey area and that there are stupid people out there that might possibly be jealous (you would understand what i mean if you know mirrabooka)

back to the point of the story, i have a huge list of wreckers phone numbers that might help you out, i would strongly suggest you shop around...

my rear windscreen;

Just Cars Insurance (my insurer)

-$2400 including excess etc.

Novus

-$2000+/-

O'Briens

-$2000+/-

these prices were supplied and fitted

wreckers... my first quote was $1975!?! only supplied

then i found one for $900

THEN $770... best price i found after two weeks...

shop around dude and if you still looking for some wreckers numbers just pm me or something and i'll give you the whole list as to the guys who i tried...

thing is they said there were NO R34 2 door rear windscreens available like nearly impossible... one wrecker told me to look by myself, don't want to upset you guys but made me question if my next car would be an import...

sorry for the large splur of info but if you need help dude i got the numbers...

dam!

that really sucks... yeah windows would be expensive for any import. And insurance is no good as excess is usually at the 2k+ mark.

Ive had my car broken into twice (not my skyline, my other car i drive around) so i know the feeling in both the wallet and knowing someones been thru ur ride. Although it was not at my house but at curtin uni car park. Dodgy place to park now a days.

Hope you get it fixed.. and agreed on shopping around for the parts.. however its going to be raining on thursday so i would suggest somethning temp there asap...

Good luck on the fix.

bad luck man,

happened twice to us, once in a my skyline and another in a lancer

u'll get most of the glass out, but best to take the seats off and the door trim off(there's shitloads of glass in there) and give a good vacuum, don't worry bout the glass splinters on the seats, they come out easy.

best is to ring around for wreckers, i found my drivers side window at jappartswa, they have heaps of parts

I'm guessing that's John's evo? :thumbsup:

I'm lucky enough to park my car behind a roller door in my backyard, but I'm usually paranoid whenever my car is outside a mates place or in a public car park somewhere, & it's because of shit like this.

when i got my rear windscreen fitted, the place that did it 'wayne's windscreens' they vacuumed the whole car and basically detailed it for me!

i was going on a date that night and wanted the car ready and thought i would have to take it home and vacuum it myself but they did it for me and didn't even charge me for it...

very impressed, if you want their number too i'll give that to ya as well

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
