...are you most likely to NOT find your car when come back to it, do YOU think?

What I reckon is....

Marion and TTP - a split between them for car theft

Arndale and Elizabeth - fairly dero-spec but havent heard of cars going missing like the above

Hollywood - not too bad compared to above two I guess

Colonnades - been there a couple times, seems like a nice shopping centre - other than that no experience of that place

West Lakes - would probably be safest I reckon

lol

Marion: Park there quite a lot. Mates have had issues of people damaging the car (scratches and trolley dents) but not a bad place.

TTP: I feared for my life when I walked through that place. I was sitting in the GTR in the carpark and a cop questioned why I was just sitting there in the car. Strange. Walking through there it feels like you're a foreigner!! Strange place. I wouldn't recommend Southerners walk through that place alone hahaha

Elizabeth: I nearly got bashed just waiting for a taxi at 3pm in the day. Some random started swearing at me because I was wearing a suit! Unbelievable! Another shopping centre I feared for my life in. Alot of Wu-Tang and Dada lovers there!!

Arndale: No idea.

Hollywood: ....?! No idea.

Colonades: My home 'turf' haha no issues here! People love the GTR... mainly because these people don't own shoes. Always park the car here - never had a issue (touch wood). Great shopping centre! I always bump into people I know there.

West Lakes: I was amazed at the quality of this place compared to Colonades lol. Seems like a up-market shopping centre. Parked there a few times - no issues.

Haha, polls ftw. Adrian works at West Lakes, hasn't ever had problems parking the 32 there. Apparently its milf city!! I have never had problems at Salisbury, Hollywood, Elizabeth or TTP.

Thats it i am going to be shopping at west lakes now

time to find a suga mummy lol

I've never had a problem at Marion.

I get challenged all the time at Elizabeth, so that tops my list. If it aint a commonwhore or falconshit they don't like me parking there :(

From the carsafe.com website (a little old but doubt times have changed)

Based on the latest theft figures for the first three months of 2001, heading the Top Ten list of current hot spots in South Australia is

Adelaide City with 318 thefts for the period, followed by

Hindmarsh and Woodville (307),

Salisbury (291),

Enfield (245),

Noarlunga (181),

Tea Tree Gully (131),

Marion (112),

West Torrens (110),

Port Adelaide (105) and

Munno Para (98).

agree with ben, i NEVER parked my 33 in ANY shooping centre carparks (unless it was a cruise)

just because you dont hear of imports going missing froma certain shop, doesnt mean

yours wont be the first.

take the missus's shit box instead :(

i work in centro hollywood and had my r33 broken into/damaged 2 times in 3 months (hence why i have a daily car). i have had mates cars stolen from ther only 2 weeks ago but its not as bad as ttp cars are like stolen weekly there its just hollywood always gets the worst and ends up on the news.

ok im the most anti-racist person ever.. BUT..

i would never park at arndale coz its mostly asian people who shop there, and not one has a straight bodied car.. u figure it out.

I agree.

I live near the area and you should witness how they drive. :P

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
