Hey fallas,

Just thought I'll bring this to everyone's attention.

I noticed that the number of car vandalism cases in the Western suburbs have risen in recent months.

Last month a mate of mine had his R34 GTR smashed, keyed and thousands of dollars in accessories stolen from his car in the Sunshine area.

Last week another mate of mine had his s15 keyed and windows smashed, which appeared to be a random case of 'bullshit attacks.'

Then comes my case - this morning at around 4am in the morning, my car's alarm went spastic, I rushed out only to find that some arsehole just smashed my car's passenger's-side window. They fled with only my wallet, some cash and my yearly met-card (which will be cancelled and replaced by work) - but yeah, now I gotta get my window replaced. To make it worst, this was parked on the drive way inside my front yard and metres from my bed room - what the heck is going on?

So anyway, tough luck but just thought I'll bring it to your attention - so, if you go to watch a later movie at the Sunshine movie complex, bring a shitbox or risk having your car stolen or vandalised - it's farked!

BTW, if anyone has a spare R33 passenger's-side window - please PM or call me asap.

Many thanks,

Kevin

Why did you leave your wallet in your car anyway, what should i say?

Hey mate,

It wasn't a wallet as such, it's a small Oroton business-card wallet - had some of my ank cards, drivers license and my business cards and minimal cash. But yeah... man... seriously.... :thumbsup:

Shit man... ...Sorry to hear about that...

I know my car can been seen from the street... ...but with two other cars in front of it and another three closer to the street... ...all behind a six foot steel gate with motion lights... ...I hope it just looks like too much effort to get to mine...

But if they want to get to it... ...they'll get to it... ...that's just the sad fact of it...

same shit happened to my last 32...some idiots most likely from the area had the balls enough to break into my car at my house and rip out the cd player...not even safe at home anymore mind you my house is on a court kind of hidden away from main roads and have never had any problems...best way to avoid would be to lock up in a garage if your in such a bad area like sunshine.

like if ur wallet and few other little things were stolen..they should of smashed open a vl or commohore.

nah but sorry to hear man...joys of owning a skyline

same i live in sunshine aswell

a few weeks ago ive noticed some 4wd car camping infront of my house at like 5am in morning. When ever u would come outside he would turn on his high beams and floor it out of there. think he was trying to scout and find out times of when people wake up/leave etc.

now instead of parking it in the driveway its in the back yard blocked by 3 other cars. now all i need is a trained attack dog.

lol

Thanks fellas,....

Yeah, it sucks... just the hassle... gotta get my annual work-provided Metcard replaced, the usual process of cancelling-reissuing process of bank cards and drivers license etc...

And there's the window - I've actually got 4-5 PM's about replacement windows, so at least SAU members are helpful... now just a bit of extra money out the window and time and this should be fixed.

Thanks fellas.

Like most have noticed - watch out if you live in Footscray through to the Sunshine area...

Sorry to hear esp considering the car was in your driveway.

Compared to thefts there are very few random attacks of vandalism on a car...sure you get the keying's but most are thefts. The thing is that someone who is looking to steal something from a car will rarely do so unless they look in and can see stuff that they are after. The facts are that they aren't going to risk getting caught because they *might* find something and secondly if your car isn't an easy target then there are plenty of others around with wallets/laptops/cash/nav mans etc in plain sight.

Simple...don't leave wallets/cash/anything worth $ in your car and you will reduce the chance of your car being broken into.

the guy saw a wallet and took it. the wallet could have been in a shitter and he still would have taken it. i feel for ya and all but you did leave your wallet in the car. i dont get what the sunshine complex has to do with your break in in your driveway? unfortunately desperate people do desperate things so dont leave things to tempt them. ive had people go through the parents car and stuff in our driveway. its a pain in the ass to make all these precautions especially cause its your own driveway but it is the world we live in.

hope you get your car back on the road soon.

Thanks, Tai - appreciate your words.

Pisses me off seriously - I mean, if it's a crack or scrap then at least I can still drive my hideous car around, but a broken window... I can't drive it anywhere as I can't live it parked, so it's basically off the road and has been so for a few weeks.

Man, I'm still trying to get a replacement window for it... a few interstate guys are saying then can get me one, but it's the delays and hassles that I really want to avoid - would prefer local - but everyone wants a ridiculous price.

If anyone has a cheap window they want to sell, please contact me.

Thanks all.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
