They may have been angry that you wasted good carbon fibre on a hockey stick.

But seriously for anyone going to training - lock your bag in the boot & leave nothing in view in the cabin of your car.

That way the toe rags are less likely to smash windows to try & steal stuff.

Dude where is this hockey field? Is this the one at Shenton College?

thats the one mate. it was parked in the car park there, got lights all around and the grounds keeper walkes around the car park all night keeping an eye out.

He thinks that who ever did it was watching him for a bit before they went for the car.

Most prob jumped on the train across the road after.

EDIT: spelling

i dont want to offend anyone, but if you dont want things pinched out of your car then dont leave them where they can be found.

you would be surprised how many customers we get coming in with smashed windows because they left a mobile phone or laptop on the front seat.

just my opinion.

ok, just spoke to just car, gonna cost way to much to go through them, just over $2000, just to fix the window, so im gonna find a window myself.

also, they said it would destroy my no-claim bonus, cant have that now can we.

as for the paint and tail light, nothing i can do just now. tail light is not smashed and still works, just looks like crap!

a note to all: even when you are running late, ALWAYS put your stuff in the boot. you are already late, so a few more sec's will not hurt. i know, i have learned this the hard way.

man this is true BS and things like it happen way to often makes you want to go buy a vl and live in coodanup (crappy mandurah suburb) ................ almost

having lost my baby then recovered her minus 2k worth of stereo plus the then gfs laptop with all her uni work on it and had zero help from the fuzz or insurance i feel your pain

the world will finally punish those who do these things karma is a bitch you aholes

I too have felt the wrath of losers maliciously damaging cars... really not cool at all. The time spent/wasted getting things fixed is a bloody nightmare as well! Hope you can get it all sorted out without too much drama

last skool holidays, calais got egged, stained my paint. They ripped my wing off my skyline, totaly debadged it and keyed it and debadged my bf's car at the time.

again last skool holidays, has lil african dudes, trying to jimmy my window open in the sky, but i cawt them, thank gawd...

Cant belive what they did to ur car :) thats just not right! hope your insurance cover it, and i hope they sh!theads get cawt and they pay with there flesh!!! thats just so wrong in everyway!!!

good luck bro!

Kels.

thanks for the comments guys. i'v taken pics of all the damage (there is ALOT), but i left my usb cord for the camera at my gf's place so will hopefully have pic's up tomorrow or the next day.

just looking at my car now, i still cant believe this has happened.

unbelieveable, they break ur window, take ur stuff, then still want to wack the car with a baseball bat... that is really low. You would think they would content on taking your stuff and breaking a window.

Hope the damage to your car is not to deep.. do they hit any of your panels?? or just the bumpers?

Hopefully nothing like what happen to riccas skyline in freo.

f**ckers.

Sorry to hear it bro... from the sounds of it, it sounds like it might be someone you know.. cuz not only did they steal your items, but took the extra step of smashing your lights and keying your car.

Do you know anyone that you might have pissed off or has a grudge against you etc?

Hope you get it all fixed mate.

i have no idea who would do this to me or my car, im not the kind of guy who go's looking for trouble and i dont realy piss people off. so i have no idea. i still think it was just random, people see a nice car and just wanna smash it for no reason

feel your pain brother. had my window smashed on my 32 and the C***S took everything man they snapped off (broken beyond repair) my central dash fascia (hard to find in perth) took my deck my metrika gauges(not cheap) my turbo timer(cheap but still f**ked) the 8 bucks i had in my ash tray in 20c pieces, and they stole about 4 grand worth of stereo out of my boot. the most f**ked up thing is that it was 3pm on a friday and it was in a secure parking garage (with security gates) under my house.

Tip:

Join Army reserve.

Carry your 9mm side arm..

Next time u catch them, pop some lead in their black @$$3$...

sorry to hear mate,

my younger bro is wrecking his r33, so if you need help in sourcing a rear 1/4 window give us a pm and i'll sort something out.

wouldnt you love to catch them doing it with your hockey stick in hand???

Army Reserve sucks Balls,

You either go ARA or nothing!!!!!!!

I caught some little non reflective trying to get into my GTR at innaloo shops......

Well I wasnt sorry then, and I aint sorry now.......

Coppers thought what I did to him punishment enough.......

They laughed, he jumped behind the coppers hiding from me....

Beat him good and proper... Think he may still have a headache.

In his bag,

Car radio and about 9 badges from all the other cars he jacked, I got him as he got to my Whip!

Wow!

At Innaloo??

As dodgy as it is I've never had trouble at either Karrinyup or Innaloo...

But yeah, good work man, that is where cops should show discretion, it is only fair under those circumstances...

btw Army Reserve doesn't suck!

:D

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
