Life is just peachy at the moment - some losers decided to steal my car early morning on "GOOD Friday". (Mitcham area)

Got it back in less than 12 hours but in less than original condition.

Car was found out the back of St John's Church 337 Main Road Coromandel Valley.

They also Stole my neighbours black R33 manual S2 skyline (Billy / William P's) at the same time and took his double din touch screen 7" stereo - but they dumped his car just around the corner and came back for mine... Billy does not know yet as he is on holidays!

Stupid cowards stole my kids new Twin screen DVD player for long trips in the car. Whom ever steals from the mouths of babes deserves to be beaten to a pulp - which if I had heard them smash my drivers side window (right outside my bedroom - the balls!) I would have happily done!

That had to have known as I have a foam child seat and a babies seat in the back. Selfish wankers!

All up the car was found with:

  • Smashed Drivers side window
    Sitting on paver's with all four wheels stolen (
18" Manaray Sport Vertec VR5 Gold + polished Chrome alloy wheels with Bridgestone Potenza GII tires)
Damaged Disk break surrounds - when they just dropped it onto bricks after getting the wheels off
My MP4 player stolen
My MP3 playing FM transmitter with a 4GB USB Pen stolen
My Cigarette lighter to 3 outlet + USB power adaptor stolen
My Mini Mag-light from in my dash stolen
The kids Twin 7" DVD player Stolen
Kit was damaged
My Stearing column damaged
My Key barrel ripped out and damaged
Shattered the Ignition Barrel
The stereo was partially removed - they must have been interrupted
Damaged several center console bits when attempting to remove stereo
Scraped rear bumper
Damaged the front bar and side skirts of my kit

Wish they had burnt it cos it is going to be more trouble than it is worth now - having to hunt down the insurance on these bits

Insurance excess $250

(possibly + $500 as it is a turbo - not sure on the not at fault theft side of things)

And if the car insurance does not cover the contents then I may have to try and claim it under house insurance so another $250 odd excess... or simply right them off completely... :D

"See pics here"

<EDIT - correcttion on Wheel type - 18" Manaray Sport Vertec VR5 Gold + polished Chrome alloy wheels with Bridgestone Potenza GII tires>

My wheels:

If anyone hears anything on the grape vine - or sees someone either trying to sell these or with these on their car please let me know - I would love to pay them a visit! The wheel and tire combo would be unique as they are the tires that came with the wheels from Japan - so if you see the combo - you will know they are mine.

yes - to bad so far away... did you just "drive past" or did you actually stop long enough to see how close they looked to mine - or better still had you actually popped in and noticed them? :)

Just weighing up if it is worth popping in to check them out.

nah i dont think they are the 1's from the place on torrens rd woodville, i think they r Blitz rims, i drive past there every day on my way 2 wrk n they hav been out the front on display 4 nearly a year...

sorry for your miss fortune but if you had no alarm its becuase of poeple like you that we have to pay a high premiums

$250 excess keep dreaming try closer to $1000-1500

insurance will cover everything because you have a police report number

sorry if my first comment is harsh but my insurance jumped from 880 last year to 990 this year due to increase theft of skylines and imports all i can say is ALARM up

ease up tiger...not everyone can afford stuff like...alarm.....immobiliser....insurance......ive owned my car for 4 years...never had immobiliser, alarm or insurance....only getting this shit now cos some pricks broke into it.......

that's just plain silly i would be spewn if you ran up the back of my car and i had to wait 3 years for you to pay off 3g worth of damage @ $25 a week, and your telling me to ease up

just silliness i don't care how good a driver you think you are incidents happy

ease up tiger...not everyone can afford stuff like...alarm.....immobiliser....insurance......ive owned my car for 4 years...never had immobiliser, alarm or insurance....only getting this shit now cos some pricks broke into it.......
also if you cant afford insurance and an alarm don't come whinging on here when your car vanishes get the car!

im paying close enough to $3k a year for a $10,000 car, bit of a ripoff, but goddamn, at least my shits covered.

NO INSURANCE!!!?? Don't come for a cruise till you get some bud.

Curious what you paid for your car? If you can afford a few grand for a car, you can at least afford 3rd Party Ins.....what if you hit a new Porsche or Ferrari....your life would be over!

They pushed the car out the driveway and tried to start it but i have an immobilizer and 2 kill switches connected to my fuel pump.

Damage -

Hole in drivers side door

Stolen dvd player

Stolen Greddy boost gauge

Smashed ignition barrel

Stolen ash tray, don't know why???

Stolen prada sunnies :blink: should have taken them with me but thought they'd be safer in the car than camping with me

Scrapped and dented front bar, a few dents which looks like they've done with their screw driver just to be bastards

They couldn't get it started just like the first time and they have decided to go back and take the neighbors car also!

^^^ that is ridiculous. Like Steve said - if you can't afford the items above, you can't afford the car. Fullstop, no excuses.

I don't know why the govt don't make car alarms THE LAW - they darn well should. You can get a budget alarm that is better than nothing for under $100 off Ebay - and most of them are so simple you can install them yourself. Yes, if they want the car bad enough they will steal it eventually even if you have a good alarm - but most crooks will flee the moment they open the door and any alarm goes off. And a Club Lock is around $40. If you have both of these then chances are a crook won't even bother trying.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
