Not the best of starts to the weekend. Got a call at work today to say my car had been broken into. Went out to the car park to find that my drivers window had been smashed & then looked closer to find the covers on my steering column, lower dash panel & kick panel had been ripped off & wires were dangling everywhere. Drivers door trim had been damaged & I later noticed that the controller for my monitoring interface has been ripped out too, only thing that they stole in the car. Not that they didn't look in the boot for stuff too.

Rang the cops etc. & even though there was a witness & a glove left behind in the car (plus some foot prints on the bonnet from them jumping the fence) they weren't going to bother even turning up to the scene. Apparently this happens too often now for them to bother.

What chance to we have when the law is next to useless I ask? Penalties for these assholes just are not great enough, I'm now looking at at least $1500 in damages, but it's probably not going to be worth claiming on insurance.

I will say this much though. Car theives, look out, because if I'm the bastard that catches you I WILL make it the worst day of your life, regardless of if it's my car or not. If the cops aren't going to start doing anything about theft I damn well will. I'm so furious right now.

Ah crap Jared that sucks! So they ripped out your Blitz? Damn you must be heartbroken.

Did your alarm go off? Whenever my warning pager goes off in my pocket to say someone is within 3 feet of my car I run to it in the hope of catching one of the bastards - and yes I also will make sure they don't leave the scene walking when I catch one.

sorry to hear this bro...

i own a red 33 as well, so this really makes me shiver...

as for the cops... WAT THE F$%K ARE WE PAYING TAXES TO KEEP THEM ALIVE FOR?

when your car's stolen or broken into, they are like meh whatever. but when you do a burnout or your car is 1mm too low, trust your neighbourhood cop to defect you!!

thats my rant...

Main thing i think we all need to do is say "i dont accept that u think this is ok, its not ok for me that someone broke into my car". Make a big deal and get angry to much pettie theft goes on which leads to more and more.

I have lost 14 dvd's in one week in my video store braking open cases, i have cctv footage of him actually taking it but after they caught up with him same day he stole they found he had nothing on him and let him go. So ive been told i need to go to cop shop and file another 2 hr report and they will build a case balh blah f*kin blah

People will only take this for so long!!!!!

sorry to hear dude

damn that sucks dude....

the cops are honestly lazy pricks....if it doesnt involve them getting $$$ they dont show up....

my scenario, i caught a guy with a screwdriver breaking the lock off my old car, a ma70 supra.

so a fight broke out.... (martial arts comes in handy :) )

when he was down and out i rang the cops, when they arrived they saw him on the ground, screwdriver in hand, and my door lock hanging off, but they still charged me with assault, and said that it wasnt in self defence...

i had to pay 1600 in medical expenses, got good behaviour period, while the car theif got nothing at all....

sometimes even takin matters into ur own hands backfires...

the justice system is f!@#d

gangs walk the streets, graffiting, smashin up cars, stealing cars, assualting people, and the cops dont react at all...

but if a car owner burns some rubber on a private road, or goes 5km's over the limit, then they get off their ass...

i got pulled over and fined coz a p plate had fallen off the back window and onto the parcelshelf, but was still visible from behind...

(which is abiding by the law)

while i was gettin written up a car screams past me and the cop going WAY above the speed limit, and the cop didnt even flinch...

laziness....

take matters into ur own hands.... :down:

Wow Jared I'm so sorry! Having just recently happen to me and just getting it back from the repairers yesterday fixing the assholes damage it's still raw with me too! I'd love to catch them and smack the shit out of them but as Chase said above, it's not worth it, the scum are more protected by rights than we are

Always sucks to hear about this kind of stuff, unfortunaately the scum of the earth (and im from the northern suburbs, scum headquarters) are now consistantly getting away with this shit over and over again.

But on the bright side, at least your car isnt a black crispy smouldering mess!

1) sorry to hear of your misfortune man

2) if it was stolen at least they might of done something about it and insurance would cover most of it

bloody hell man that sucks, at least it wasnt actually stolen and thrashed or even burnt out.

damn cops dont wanna do anything these days except defect us!!!

Sorry to hear about your car dude! :D

Yeah, I say give them 'the treatment' when/if you catch them. I know a few cops are they're decent people, but a majority of them are wankers. There for the badge and the easy jobs, easy money.

And I fully support protecting your property no matter what it takes. Who cares what the cops say: if I'm breaking into your car, will you call your colleagues, or do something yourself copper? Nuff said. Protect your property. I've trained most of my life and I've trained and competed overseas too, so I know a thing or two about ending the matter quickly and painfully for the thief. I pity the fool. :D

sorry to hear,

but that is absolute crap they didnt want to do anything, but as shane said go talk to your local MP. If some scum broke into my car I would get justice no matter.

I wish I was big enough to smack down a thief :D

Are you for real mate? You've obviously got no idea what's involved in the job if you think that.

heya bud i have a skyline out the back let me know what you need, ill look after ya

Appreciate the offer mate, I've managed to score some other wheels to get by on until I get it fixed so I'm all good there.

As far as security goes, my alarm system just hasn't cut the mustard by the looks of it as it was completely dead when I got to the car, so they managed to kill the siren pretty easy. I think I'm going to seriously up the stakes as far as the security goes on it now. May even consider satellite tracking. I'm also seriously thinking I may buy another car to communte to work in (something like maybe an R31) & keep the 33 at home.

Our security chief at work was very surprised the cops didn't turn up as they had been there before for previous break-ins. The system just seems to be getting worse. Personaly as far as I'm concerned if someone is being disrespectful or trying to steal your property you should be allowed to do whatever the hell it takes to stop them, & if that means killing the assholes then so be it. People who try to gain out of life by taking things away from others who work hard for what they get are scum & we'd be better off without them.

    • Driveability will be about the same with either externally venting BOV, or no BOV at all. Perhaps worse one way than the other, with me thinking that the definitely more flow going through the AFM through a venting BOV more likely to cause rich stalls than the perhaps more flow that the AFM might read on reversion. There is no such thing as "turbo damage" from not having a BOV at stock, or even quite a lot higher than stock, power levels. You need a big turbo with a lot of mass spinning hard getting a horrible slowdown from a slammed shut throttle before there is anything like the shaft loads required to damage things. Not an issue on small turbos. The ONLY 2 reasons that Nissan put a recirc valve onto the RB were: It is a bypass valve. It is open when under vacuum. When not on boost, it bypasses intake air forward around the compressor, which unloads the compressor, allowing the turbine to sping more freely, making the whole lot a bit more efficient when just puddling around. Throttle response should also be faster via the shorter, smaller diameter BOV pipe (when in NA, ie before the BOV closes and boost is building) which is nicer for driveability. Emissions. The reversion causes CO pulses. Eliminate the reversion (or at least, keep it away from the AFM) and you don't get that. The stalling/driveability aspect could have been tuned around, as shown one example of by dose above, if Nissan hadn't put a recirc valve on. Many many turbo engines before the RB had no BOV. They did not stall. See the RB30 turbo as an example. Nistune is definitely better than just stock ECU. It allows you to access and change things that are not excellent on the stock setup, and allows you to do mods like put decent injectors in, relocate the AFM, put a bigger turbo or even cams, etc, on, change to coil swith completely different swell needs, etc etc. All the things that you might need or want to do 25 years after the car was new. Aftermarket replacement ECU is obviously better again, because it gives you even more freedom from the constraints of the stock ECU. I won't be needing to go any further than Nistune though, for the new turbo in the 250ish rwkW region I'm going to, with big injectors, and most other things being stockish.
    • Lucky the prp block is supposed to be released next weekend 
    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel
