srsly... you would have to be an idiot to leave a skyline there ESP at night!

About a year and a half ago I saw a red Ferrari 360 parked at the Sunshine cinemas (safeway) car park. I asked why he parked there with such a car and he said that he needed some booze lol This was around 8 pm though and I think he came back soon after.

But yeah Sunshine and surrounding areas are shit.

Agreed, park your car in sunshine if you want a respray or a few new pannels :blink:

i live in south east .... at the time my stepdad was living .. and we had a security light in the drive way ... noticed around 1am it went off, he went out and saw nothing,

about 10mins later it went off again, just had a look thru the door spyhole, again nothing, went of again had a look thru the peep hole again and saw his van getting pushed by 3guys.

he just thru out the front door punched on in the neck kick another up the ass before they pushed him and ran, problem was he couldnt chase cause the van was rolling back towards the garrage got it stopped in about 5ft. the guys ran down the street in a waiting car and took off. bloody unreal some people.

Across the road my neighbours car got stolen with out a sound before 12am, cause he came knocking around 11.30pm.

about 6months ago, next door got his wallet stolen out of his glove box, (when i had my holden) then came and checked mine ... trusty security light must of scared them, cause i had a dodgy door lock .. u try 4-6times it will open

now with my current car (nissan stagea pearl white s2) had it for a week .. help my missus move to hampton park on hallam road.. only to wake in the morning egg shell and egg all over the side of my car. now when i stay over night .. i take my suzuki ignis ... which blocks my stagea in the driveway over night.

mum's bloody $6k ford gets the garrage ! :S

God damn i hate how that shit works my parents cars get the garage and im stuck with the carport, even though its not on the street still sucks.

Since i have brought my car i have never left it outside. I attempted to once but i couldn't sleep as i was so worried so i put it in :)

im more worried about the plates, cause stageas aint common so it kinda gets left alone.

but the plates, could be some lil smart ass out there who thinks it will be cool to nick them for his uncle's shed or garrage cause he owns a gtr or somthing .... so im looking into hex head screws and bolting all 6on the back then getting a cover .. (note my online nick name) it will save some fool 400bucks but cost me 100.

if it gets key'd just gives me an excuse to get the rusty mirror's fixed .. sure i'll be pissed off cause it will cost more ... but it wont cost me double if i do the mirror's then some idiot key's it ... they normally only do one car once and leave the area

I never leave my car outside for a long period of time, unless im outside with it, Always in garage.

BTW Kevin sorry mate we didnt catch up the other weekend bin flat stick with work etc. Have you come across a window yet? Will have to catch up some time soon, this weekend is looking like ill be free so should catch up

Good old western suburbs unless ur car is in a garage, your a goose to think nothings going to happen to it because there is too many dumb kids running around wrecking peoples cars with no respect for anyone. Although shit turns around quick when they get there cars karma will hopefully bite them in the ass alot worse

I've had my pearl white stagea for 9 months and nothing (yet) has happen to it - My dad's commonwhore gets the garage and i'm parked behind it.

I live in Gladstone Park and nothing much happens where i live and we're got alot of worked up cars around the area. Of course I have the mean streets of Broadmeadows next to me.

I love the "the western suburbs is <insert statement here>" because it happens in their own backyard as well no matter where it is.

My ex-gf's car (a RAV4) had its windows smashed out the front of her house and looked around the street and a few cars were smashed (even a brand new Merc E55 that was parked behind a gate and had motion lights) and this is in Hawthorn

Still the best was a guy so dumb enough to try and break into a mates R34 GTR and were sitting out the front porch of the house...

I live in braybrook (dont laugh) and work in Sunshine (hey Tai :( ) and the only thing to happen to my R32GTR is someone stole the tyre valves whilst parked at the back of Westpac bank.

I only was gone from the car 2 minutes top, to use the ATM.

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
