Guys, now i am worried.

I park in on the road rather than the in the station so cars coming pass can see it and anyone trying to break in.

I guess I will have to collect my car now and drive into work... damn petrol and parking costs.

I didn't wanna put the wind up ya bro but I'd hate to see that ride get ganked by some dole bludging, crack smoking, flannel shirt wearing, skank riding, car stealing, no respect having mother phuccer.

man - what world are you living in?

neighbourhood watch died years ago pretty much, its not very active..

My friend's 1986 MAGNA complete rubbish car (worth about $300 at most) was broken into at Blackburn station.. broad daylight. There wasn't even anything to steal, but they still broke in..

time to start reading and learning

btw: all my previous facts were wrong (see above) :D but never park your skyline at a station or shopping centre. Even just the risk of vandalism by some jealous punk kid.

True that... .now i need to install a spy camera hidden in the car!

Yeah, that'll help you catch the little SOBs and allow you to break their legs. However, you'll still need to get the damage repaired.

Personally I'd rather catch the train than risk damage to my Loved One.

Car saved!!!

Wardest> I owe you one.

Prolly happens all the time... i have left my car at the same station and same spot for 2years and only thing that has happened is I have been badged. That was when I had my Type-R.

Well better be safe than sorry.

i remember reading once that a large % of car theft and breakins are from train stations... Bit silly to park any car there, never mind a nice 34

you're best off buying an unregistered crapper for $200 and driving to the station every day i think..

which is why I walk to the train station :D

i never leave my 34 in these types of places - luckily I have a choice to walk - its about 12mins each way but its better than risking losing the car, or even a broken window and stolen stereo!

At least nothing has happened to it CR34TION!

I have heard that train station operators have [and still are] been beefing up their security / cameras etc...but still not good enough.

Car theft is actually down this [financial] year to under 100,000 an all time low in the past decade I think!

neighbourhood watch died years ago pretty much, its not very active..

not in my area it hasnt. my alarm went off a couple of weeks ago and my neighbours were out in under 15 seconds to see what was happening.... i love my neighbours..... , fortunately it was me at my car trying to get in as the battery in my remote had died. :) all fixed now though :D

yeah we still get newsletters from NW as well, complete with crime reports and stats for the area - my neighbours are pretty good too!

One of them is 3rd Dan [black Belt in] Karate, so a would be thief would certainly get a surprise :)

:D

here is the real culprit!

hahaha :bahaha:

There was a real nice clean yellow R34 just parked down from Sandringham station and couple of Friday nights ago. Bout 3am, stumbled out of the Sandy and had a real good look. Real nice, clean as, looked very shmick.

Lucky u weren't there Wardest, some drunken teenager with his face almost pressed up against the window of a R34 GT-T, would have been a beat down!! :)

Anyone know of any Sandringham'ites or Bayside ppl with a stock yellow R34? No stickers, so may or not be a SAU person

Man our Skylines do attract alot of attention no matter where it is. But parking in or near a train station is pretty scary man. There are high school kids, weirdo etc, etc. If it doesn't get stolen, it could get damage by some young smartass.

Let start a Skyline Watch haha. Everyone just stick a SAU sticker on and join the SKYLINE WATCH hehe

Hey Creation,

I used to park my r33 there too. And I must admit, I was a little nervous too. I mean I agree that as for train stations, it was probably a safer one, in comparison to others......(yes I know thats an oxymoran) but at the end of the day I wasnt comfortable in leaving my pride and joy there.

Oh well, I have to say, I always noticed your car sitting along the road and I did also notice it going missing in recent times. At first I thought to myself, phuck, somebody's taken it.

Great to hear that it still safe.

I might also invest in a SAU sticker as well. skylineakt, a SAU watch sounds like a great idea, so that at least we can help watch each others backs............hmm, where's that street weapons.net link...... :(

    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
