Yesterday, while my car was parked at Glen Iris station, some pathetic excuse for a human being broke into the car, smashed the ignition lock, so the car is totally undriveable. Fortunately the column locking pin came out, so at least the car is steerable.

$132 to get the car towed home! $300 plus for a new ignition lock. God knows how much to get the barrel re-jigged so I can use the same key. Then a new alarm (the battery was disconected, and now the alarm doesn't quite work properly, although does lock / unlock the doors).

So if you spot someone with severe hearing problem - the Jaycar screecher went off on him LOL (110dB at 2kHz!) - that will probably be the useless SOB.

If the police ever catch him, I'm going to hang, draw and quarter the bastard. Then I'll tar and feather him. Then I'll pull each of his teeth (no anesthetic!). And then I'm going to get nasty!.

not good!

I live in that area, not good at all...

I would love to catch some punk kid in the act!

one of the big problems with train station carparks is the iced out junkies can ride around on the trains all day hopping on and off at different stations/carparks to bust into cars, you're way better off parking a few hundred metres away and walking to the station from a quiet street, or, drive to work ;)

damn dude i know how u feel..same stuff happened to me at the start of the year but in front of my house!!!

i couldn't turn my key at all so guess the guy f**ked it up but it didn't cost $300 plus rejigging for original key to work. only cost me $220 all up? got a mobile locksmith to come down and do it for me?

sorry to hear about that

theres a locksmith near the victoria market who recodes your barrel for $50 .. there pretty damn good... there located opposite the lexus dealership near vic market. ive used them b4 and was going to use them to recode all my key barrels when some1 stole my keys from a mechanic whom shall remain nameless. Found it a lil cheaper to go 2 a wreckers who swapped all the barrels plus a new key and a lil cash adjustment

I live like 200m from Glen Iris station and my car is mostly parked outside. Never had a problem. All I could recommend is don't park in the actual station carpark where scum patrol looking for cars to break into. Instead just park in a side street and you should be fine. Unfortunate to hear though.

Yer train station car parks are a big no go. Even though some have cameras they're still bad.

Sorry to hear though :bunny:

On closer inspection, it would seem the SOB was actually after the car.

Bloody police were useless. The SOB left the scissors he used to pop the door lock. Thought they might be good for fingerprints, but copper wouldn't even try.

I've got a new ignition lock, but it looks wrong - has an extra set of wires on the barrel.

Hopefully when it gets all back together, it will be bulletproof.

personally car theft is lame... No respect for people who enjoy breaking harts of hard working people...

I work hard for my car... and everything in it.. anyone caught trying to damage it or steal it better call the police them self.

its a pitty that police cant really help out in situation like this..

friend left his 32' at Dandenong train station, just as he came back guy broke into his window. He caught him, bit of biffo occurred, then took the money he had in his wallet to repair the window. He only had bout $50 in there but what else can u expect from a junkie.

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
