Hey all i just want to warn every one about car theft in SA especially r33 skyline owners, Saturday night i was driving along unley road and was pulled over by a undercover cop and thought shit this is it defect time but all he did was check my drivers licence and that the car was registered in my name, then he whent on to tell me that 3 white r33 skylines had been stolen last week and a further 4 silver ones in the last 2 weeks so EVERY one should be carefull where you park it, store it and to lock it.

and if you catch a car theif punch him one for me and all car theft victims,

Stay safe cheers ben.

I saw that stolen stagea and its stupidly easy to get into our cars by the looks of things.

Those with imports SPEND on a good alarm. With at least a dual stage shock sensor with glass break AND shock. The method of getting into to the stag wasnt via breaking a window, so if you only have glass break guess what, no instant alarm to deter theifs. Dont skimp on an alarm ffs will save you a big head ache.

yeah too right there Chris

the number of imports being stolen is unbelievable......they are the most targeted cars out there and guess what insurance companys just keep on increasing the cost of insurance

ohh btw Ben if you catch a theif in act then break a leg for me mate :P

i agree i sepent the money and it has paid for its self twice (scared scum off ) they managed to damage the lock and break the window but i stil have the car

A lot of imports have been stolen from the north-east area lately. Highbury in particular.

my cousins 33 got broken into a couple of weeks ago in athelstone. clublock saved it from disappearing.

i have a good alarm and always club lock it no matter where i go, but i am paranoid leaving my skyline out of immediate sight everywhere i go, except locked up in my garage at home. I'd be extremely pissed if i came back to my parked car and found damage from theives trying to break in. Part of the reason im on the hunt for a daily at the moment!

Club lock and alarm is the best combo :P

I'm usually never more than a stones throw away from my car ... except when I've left it parked at home on my property with hidden surveillance cameras recording it. But its a rare occurance that I'm never near it.

My R32 is over 30kms from where I am now, and it has the keys in the ignition too. But to get it you need to get over a fence, through a yard with dogs, and hack through a metal door on monitored alarmed premises, not to mention the people around.

Seriously though it sucks that this happens. An alarm & immobiliser is a very sound investment. I do have a clublock, I should use that aswell as the only hint my car has an alarm/immobiliser is a flashing blue LED to the right of the steering wheel. Just watch your insurance policy too because my last car would not be insured against fire and theft if it did not have a approved immobiliser fitted.

The satg had a screw driver jammed into the lock the other night... damaged the door and screwed the handle royally...

Scum! :laugh:

Remind Ben I have that door he can have. Get the Stag fixed up asap. :P

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
