Well that was a great night. Was watching a movie at a mates place in Tea Tree Gully only to hear a car siren go off. At first I thought nothing of it and then I thought, hey, that sounds like my car. I rushed out to the front of their house and sure enough it was my car, both door locks busted and wide open! Assholes! Nothing stolen thankfully, they went through all my stuff and even left my sunglasses and head unit. Looks like they were after the car but the alarm went off just in time. At this time of night all I can see damage wise is the door locks busted and door panels a bit scratched up from it all so at the very least I'm looking at a respray on both doors + new locks. Also for some reason the horn wont turn off so I had to disconnect it, I think they may have caused a bit of damage to it trying to get rid of the steering lock.

So please oh please people, lock up and keep your rides safe. Mine was only there for a half an hour in a back street in suburbia but it seems it's enough for these assholes to find and target!

haha my bro sent me this thing from the states...

it says that one of his mates got a blowtorch wired into his security system. so instead of the alarm going off, the blowtorch would just shoots out fire at the person sitting at the steering wheel...

how awesome would that be!!!

that ought to teach them about touching another person's ride!!!

Assholes!!!

damn, sorry to hear of your misfortunes luke.

Hopefully it doesnt cost too much to fix.

its crazy how even after the alarm goes off they still have the nerve to attempt to take the steering lock off. i thought a flashing led was enough to scare any opportunist thief away, i guess i was wrong...they still tried.

Keep them locked up boys & girls

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
