Hey Everyone,

On Saturday night around 2am someone decided they were going to try and steal my GTR, fortunately I had an Alarm system so they bolted but it is aside the point.

As most of you are probably aware this is the second time in a few months that someone has tried to steal my cars and several months before that it happened as well so this is the Third time someone has tried to pinch my cars :blink:

I am sharing this with all of you so if you HAVEN'T got an alarm system, go buy one, it could save your car or the property inside of it that you don't want stolen!!!

If you see any kids roaming the streets late at night, just call security / police and get them to patrol the area, they might not be up to anything dodgy but you can never be too sure, they could be the culprits!!!

Also - when driving in Atwell, DON'T be a dickhead and fang it up the streets (i.e. Tapper Road). The cops have actually rocked up to my house several times lately (the neighbours are obviously getting annoyed) and have not only confronted me and asked me where I have been and whether my car was still hot or not but they have also been monitoring my driving trips to the extent of, When I leave for work, when I get home from work and the route I take. I would hate to see anyone get pinged in an off chance that someone has complained about a similar car to yours and the cops but their finger on you.

Oh and one final thing, FYI - there are over 30 police officers living in Atwell so I don't think you'd want to piss them off either!

I think that's all I had to say!

Cheers

-jess

Do you have a shed or undercover area that you could store you car in or is it parked on your driveway?

Nah its kept in the Carport! I think I'll have to start parking my Astra in front of it again, but that's such an inconvenience so move it there every night and then move it again in the morning.

If it saves a GTR being stolen then I personally wouldn't see it as an inconvenience :D You haven't had the car that long either, so protect it at all costs.... someone is watching your place :blink:

ah so your one of the hoons they mentioned they are following on the news? unlucky to be labelled like that :blink:

Yeah but I don't know why I'm being followed hey... its weird. I mean yeah, who doesn't give their car shit and as for Tapper Road that I mentioned, every single car speeds down that street at over 30kms over the limit so I think you'd have to be pretty unlucky to get fined there!

Damnit I'm not a hoon!!! (well only in industrial open areas.... hahaha kidding!)

Invest in a keypad immobiliser alarm system, and have it hidden from view. That's what I had in my GTR. Even if theives broke in and took your keys, they won't be moving very far. The keypad was attached to my fuel pump, so you could start the car but it would stall a couple seconds later.

When you do own performance cars such as GTRs, HSVs etc you really do need to put them in a locked up garage. I would never own a performance car if I knew I couldn't secure it properly.

Jess, I would also tell the cops sfa about what you do, where you have been, other personal infomation etc Goes for anyone else here. Tell them to **** off and send you a summons if they want to start charging you with something.

If they've been trying to steal the GTR 3 times already with no luck, think they'll think smarter and go thru the house next time and look for the keys.

best to just chuck the GTR undercover and keep the Astra outside.

too many nice cars are getting stolen these days.

Subaru WRX with license plate got stolen with plates [KEKEKE], was pure luck someone found it at the traino.

Jess, that sound bad. Parking the daily in behind the Line sounds like a start. Up grade the alarm sounds like a plan...but also make sure your insurance is paid up. This Police harassment makes me think someone has put you on "the hoon list". If you can carry off the stand up citizen role go and have a word with the duty sergeant and give him WTF? No threats but more of the hey I'm a good person cut me a break would you.

Failing that move to an area with less cops lol

+1 for keypad alarm, my bro had that in his old STI, keys are useless without the pin. If I had to park mine outside/not in a garage I'd want the same thing.

JOONDALUP, yes i live next to the police academy, but there are Nerver police in Joondalup, its all show. :D

They don't even have their police station running because of that fire attack :(

lol there are a few, they drive unmarked ford territories and ve's, but the area is usually patrolled by security, they all sit down at neil hawkins park and eat donuts waiting for idiots from gbt and dirty dusk to make trouble :D

      Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell

      gtr hood match gt/gtt front fenders?

      By JC71 · Posted

      would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)

      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.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.
