today at regency tafe in the electrical car park one car was stolen and another owner walked out to find his car running with the door open, the thief was spooked when some people walked out. and it wasnt exactley an old car that u can start with a butter knife.

is there anywhere safe to park anymore, or are there just scum bags everywhere?

Serious? Again!? Last week a couple cars got broken into, 1x car that was stolen was ditched there sitting in the middle of the road in the car park and 1x car got stolen with another 1 or 2 they couldnt start so just caused the usual attempted damages(window, hole in panel/rooted lock, ignition).

and the TAFE car park is definitely NOT safe... cars there are sitting ducks waiting to be stolen... unfortunate but true.

When i was regency tafe a mates car got stolen and a nother come out to find a asian guy running of from his car of with one mag wheel sitting on the ground.Tafe said they put camras up but they got stolen aswell. Iv been told its ppl from a drop in center up the road from tafe.

i was there 2day when it happened :) organizing gun license (it could help lol)

as i pulled in there was bout 10 ppl there standing around a red car, that was in the middle of the carpark with door open.

i parked next to a nice 33 though, but yeh thats not the point it is gettin stupid.

as i pulled out though there were a few ppl sittin on the other side of the road watchin everyone pull in and out. bit spooky.

Lock ur cars ppl n use steering wheel locks. i got one and no matter where i go it is always on when im not there.

dont worry bout wat other ppl say like "it will be fine" no it wont, u cant take a chance these days

I must say my paranoia has gone down dramatically in recent times. Remember 4-6 months ago there were at least two threads a week relating to stolen skylines. Hope I'm not speaking too soon but at least that seems to have quietened down, maybe some of them scumbags got arrested.

In reply to the first post, yes there are scum bags everywhere.

So cars are getin stolen from there then people are saying exactly what cars are been parked there.....not to smart ^

Whos the smart one here? The random stranger who sees such a great car and telling others about how one saw such a car how sick it is etc..... OR the owner of the car parking at such a high theft risk area. :pirate:

That is a good question though.

Is there anywhere safe to park your car? escpially in town on a fri / sat night. are there any car parks with good security?

Normally I take my daily in to town and use that as my car security system :pirate:

thats just rediculous, doesnt regency tafe have security guards walking around? a few of the other tafes have them walking around the carparks.

They have 2 but both are thick as shit

I used to always take my daily to tafe and park near the frount door but it used to suck on fridays after tafe couldnt show of for the boys lol Do they still have that prob with ppl laying rubber?

i got attacked in the other car park at that tafe and the tafe tried to tell me its not their property therefore they cant do anything :D it does however have tafe signs located around everywhere u park your car there.

but yeah anyways fortunately i won that fight and the police had a bit more to say about it than the tafe :P

RiverBank Carpark near Adelaide Convention center as it has a good CCTV and even Better Security with Dogs :D LvL 3 is the best to park on at the westen end as it has 2 CCTVs and is alos near the car park attendent

I live in the Ferryden Park area and the edit *insert ethnic minority here* running around here are thieving bastards. My car is securely locked up, club locked, and a baseball bat near the door at the ready! A two way alarm gets installed this weekend. Try and steal it mother farkers!

If you go driving around a car that screams "look at me, steal me!" then it will eventually happen. Only YOU are responsible for the security of your car. Security guards and CCTV will only 'watch' your ride get stolen. As my biker mates say, "harden the bollocks up" and do what needs to be done to protect your ride.

    • Decided to upgrade my pressurised plastic coolant expansion tank for a fancy pants alloy version The OEM versions can get brittle, even the new plastic one I got when I first got the car is a starting to show signs of "stress" I wasn't cheap, but it is basically unbreakable
    • Morning all, I have an RB25DET Neo that's in need of a rebuild. Will need new pistons etc due to detonation damage. Would anyone be able to recommend a shop in Southeast Queensland who I could bring my long motor to for a rebuild? Just want someone who knows RBs and whos built a bunch of them before. TLDR - recommended engine shops for RB rebuild.
    • Gday Thought it was about time I started a build thread! As expected this project has snowballed into a huge financial liability, but unless you’re strong willed and responsible, it’s not a surprise. Background -  My first turbo car was an R32 GTS-4, got my full license and then totalled my Au Falcon a week later, so while trying to sell my RMZ450 dirtbike to buy another car a bloke offered to swap the R32 which at the time I felt like I was ripped off but looking back and seeing prices of those now ($40kish) it was a good deal, I didn’t know enough about these cars to appreciate what I had so sold it before the RB20 blew up. Between here and there, out of 12 cars I’ve owned the note worthy ones are a V8 Lexus SC400 (soarer), a couple of XR6 Turbos and my beloved S15 which I had for about 3 years, picked it up for $12500, repairable write off but she was fine, gun metal grey/pewter and bone stock/unmolested until I got my hands on it. Ended up spending about the value of the car and 280kw, 2 demerit points by the time I got defected and sold it for $14500 (also $40kish in today’s market, rip) Fast forward to the present day, I’m in a much better position financially and daily an MQ Triton (great cars, pipe down Ranger Bois), I cruised marketplace and car sales for a few months looking for another R32, the best deal I could find was an absolute rust bucket half finished project for $12000, until this R33 popped up in Port Macquarie for $18k - unregistered and barely running but decent shape, kept an eye on it for a few weeks and the price steadily dropped, $16k then $15k then $14k, that was the point where I was like shit someone’s gonna snatch this up! It was owned by a young bloke who had big plans but him and his missus just had a baby so smartest move financially for them but big gain for me. So 2 days later I’m towing a car trailer to pick this thing up. Roughly 2 weeks and $3500 later I’m cruising around Newcastle in my beat up R33 all smiles and dose noises! It only needed some basic shit to get it going, coil packs and air flow meter, electrical stuff and all fluids changed, 158k kms and running pretty good, nice smooth engine after oil and coolant flush - when I say coolant I mean it had been filled up with tap water, every gallery and heater element was filled with rust, 8-9 flushes later and still had brown liquid coming out but she’ll be right. The car was painted R34 Bayside Blue at some point but whether it was a cheap job or just not looked after is anyone’s guess, clear coat flaking like sausage roll.  Was rethinking my choices and contemplating life, had it up for sale for $22k - still cheaper than any registered R33 but got little interest, next minute I had an opportunity at work - 6 months overseas for good money, so that was a no brainer, fast forward again and here we are with a 50% finished project. Current Mods - 200ish KW according to butt dyno Was tuned with Apexi PowerFC EBC (old school Greddy Profec)  Stock turbo (more shaft play than a Tinder date gone right) 3inch turbo back Varex muffler  Aftermarket injectors of mystery size, Power FC showed 36% duty cycle at full boost so not behd good size Someone had good intentions but stuck with the stock R33 MAF so we had misfires at 6000rpm due to the MAF hitting 5.2V So far I’ve redone the entire interior with carpet form Car Mats Direct, new Seats and steering wheel from Autotechnica, also sound system by Autobarn (mainly Kicker) Also MCA pro comfort coil overs - Hands down best purchase yet, worlds of improvement over the tired 30yrold shocks Goals - 450kw/600hp on flex tune New paint job - Midnight Purple 2 Engine is at the shop getting rebuilt with forged rods a pistons, new valves and springs, ATI Harmonic balancer, Aeroflow 7.5L sump, rear head drain and oil restrictors as per oil control thread* and cam covers modded for larger breathers, other stuff I can’t recall of the top of my head Parts purchased and to be installed once the engine is done -  Engine loom from Wiring Specialties including these options: Haltech Nexus S3 R35 Coil pack conversion  PRP Dual Trigger kit Fan controller  Other Parts -  262 Kelford Cams Turbo - Hypergear ATR43SS3-ProS with T51R mod (whistly boi) 6 boost manifold (high mount) 50mm Turbosmart Pro gate (plumbed back for legal reasons) HKS Super Turbo Exhaust with High Flow Cat Custom 3.5inch dump and front pipe 1500cc Bosch injectors  Fuel Pump walbro 525 Haltech MAP and IAT sensors Haltech Flex Sensor Fenix Radiator with dual thermo fans LS1 Alternator Kit Oil Filter Relocation from EFI solutions and Cooling pro oil cooler Many other things sitting in my garage waiting for that engine to come back. Progress pics to follow -  
    • Losses have to be less with DC coupling. Provided the battery inverter has decent MPP tracking ability - which really shouldn't be a problem. It's not 2005 any more.
    • Hi, Will the R33 GTR rear brake backing plates fit a GTST? I'm struggling to find GTST ones but can find new GTR ones.   Thanks.
