Invest in one of those microwave sensor things... you know, the ones which beep when someone walks close to your car?

I've got one installed and it sends a little message to my remote for the alarm. It's very handy! I was in marion a few weeks ago and my remote was beeping in my pocket, so I quickly walked out to the car and found they took all 4 of my BBS tyre pressure cover things (those things you unscrew when you pump up your tyres). I wasn't impressed! But they left 1 on the ground near the car. They must have gotten a shock from the car beeping at them!

Sure they can't stop someone from breaking into your car, but at least it can warn you of what's happening when you're away from your car!

Wait a second... they drove away? (I assume in a car). And I'm pretty sure your bro got their rego... I don't think they'll be trying to steal another skyline any time soon.

What makes you think that car theives would be driving their own car or that the number plates on the car they were driving even belong to that car ?

In such cases, having their rego doesn't mean jack.

Wouldn't it be more likely that any getaway car used by car thieves would likely be a stolen car or a car with stolen plates on it ?

The thing that shits me off about break-in is the way they break in and if they fail to steal the whole car - it leaves you with the damage bill which usually isnt worth claiming insurance for but still enough to shit you off and leave a dent in the wallet. :dry:

Which can be balanced out by the hospital bill you can give them :D

car they rokd up in was stolen as well so no help there with the rego.

there are btr ways than an alarm to protect ur car. quick release boss kits are one, no steering wheel means they arnt goin very farr. an there are many other ways that COST nothin but time to insure ur car dosnt go missing

hmm, that's bad news Kahli...........don't suppose your brothers managed to catch one or as Cubes said, get a number plate?

The damage on your car stinks but could've been worse I suppose.

yeah could of looked like my car did when someone tried breaking into it haha 5k worth of damage done to mine :) heres a pic of my door handle

wish there was some sort of way that we could electrify our doorhandles....

hope you or someone catches these little pov bitchies and lays the smack down :)

very true heslo

sucks to see/hear that imports are major attraction to these low life scums

my mate was calling shannons to just get a quote on a 33 gtr

and he was told that skylines are in he top 3 with wrx's for being the most target car

UNFORTUNATELY... you cant use lethal tactics against the scumbag criminals. You have to call the police and await for them to come to your aid........ as soon as they finish handing a few defects along the way :rofl:

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
