Hey guys would just like to advise my car was broken into last night.. well i guess they didnt break in they just opened the door and hit the jack pot.

Well i parked my car infront of a mates house he told me to park out the front because his old man is gonna come home soon and parks in the driveway.. we wer only inside for about 30 mins. the f**ked up shit is while my car was being brken into my mate and i wer mixing cocktails?

sad yeh i know. yeh i forgot to arm and lock my car.. how could i be so stupid.. the suburb was brooklyn park. they took my wallet, ray bans (glasses) smokes, even pens, they just stripped it.. they wer smart arses about it too.. they left my coin box on my dash and left my deck.. its like they wer noobs they tried to hot wire.. but bcaz of my alarm and imobilser its impossible, same coloured wires etc.

Anyway the point of this post is to remind people.. YOU HAVE A SKYLINE FOR F.UCKSAKE!

dont take it for granted.. ppl with balls will break into ur car, so seriosuly dont be a lazy ass and just leave ur deck face in, ur glove box unlocked hell if u have a steering lock USE IT! and especially dont leave expensive things in ur car its just plan stupid.. i was asking for it pretty much.

But yeh am lucky after they got my glasses they wer pretty satisfied because they got a couple bucks to buy fkn smack and lick each other assholes. so they had no need to strip shit and kick panels.. my bonnet was popped they tried everything to start it up.. but yeh no damage so im grateful for that.. so i guess i consider myself lucky.. could have been alot worst.

(no offense guys) but i would just like to note, if you know the people who broke into my car.. or no anyone who does does break into cars..

ill break there motherf**kin face, nuff said.

yeh im thinking about investing in a bear trap, just leave it on the floor chained to the seat rail, theyll be to hyped up to notice.. BAM, this is wer they realise, thats only a taste of what there gonna get, and if my alarm fails me im sure ill be hearing him scream.

anyone got cheap bear traps for sale? (in all seriousness) its a great idea well atleast after being a victim of a car break in.

Technically its not a break in is it? They didnt break anything to get in? :yes:

You were definitely lucky though - a broken window would of cost a few hundred, damage locks/door panels quite a few hundred too......

I park my car at a certain bus exchange when I got to work. I always take out my steering wheel and put it in my backpack and take it wit me. Some may think its a bit stupid but I thinks it's smart :):)

Prob one of the smarter things to do. Just don't leave your bag at work :/

dont see how its a break in if you didnt lock your car, its just your own stuipid fault, its inviting them to take something.

Even if im just going in to pay for petrol I will lock my car up, not that I have anything in my car so there is nothing to steal :spank:

well you were asking for it from the start dude.... brooklyn park, torrensvile....both just shit areas. i used to live down there and i had my car broken into also, if my car ever had to stay on the street i took out the battery and placed a baby monitor under the drivers seat, and the other end on my bedside table. if your in that area alot you'll understand what sort of crowd live there and why they casually cruise around testing cars. point of the story like it's been said time and time again, invest in a top of the line alarm not clear tail lights for f**k's sake. these threads are borderline pointless.

    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment.
