good news, spent the whole day driving around looking for spare rear taillights. Average cost were around $220-$250 e.a which is a bitch. Lucklily i got a good bargin for $100 which was same colour as my car but the botton part of the tailights was broken. I had to replace the bottom section with my tailight, boy it was a nightmare to take off. Glued like a mother ****er. there was a point i was gonna give up, even 4 different spare part places said, ill have to get both set of lights replaced.

So the left side is all sweet now just good as new for $100. :D

Now just for the right side.

Any one out there have andy right taillight sitting at home?

ill post in WTB as of now too.

thx

I used to get a lot of nails in my tyres from exactly the same kind of neighbours when I parked next to my gf's house. They think they own the public road! The first few times they let all the air out of my tyres, then they started doing the nails, propping them up under the tyre while I was parked, I started kicking them out before I drove away and then they started stabbing the sidewalls, so then I introduced myself to the neighbours son... stopped altogether.

just few weeks ago i read a thread about

"breakinging into a skyline" didnt really read it all, just few post,

Now it has gotten me thinking like crazy.

how did they break in my car without and damage.

no keyhole damage, no panel/door damage,

asked the tower dude and he said, anyone who knows there shit can get a hold of some

'keylock' shit, some device that can open anydoor?

not sure

bahhhhhhhhhhh

I was wondering this the other day when i took my car to an exhaust shop to have some exhaust parts fitted and made.

While there the car was on the hoist with the key in the ignition. The alarm armed itself, locked the car and wound all the windows up. This happens by design and I know this happens but the shop did not.

Anyway so long story short they had to break into my car. Afterwards i figured out how to do it myself and its so embarissingly easy. I wont say how on here but yeah, a lot can be done to improve security on the average R33.

i guess this is just a lesson for me.

Until it happens to you, you wont do anything about it. Guess it has gotten to me.

I'm at work atm. waiting for a call from mechanic for the $ damage.

Any here can give an estimate how much its going to cost?

Looks like a new ignition will be required. :(

oh...by the pics does it show these guy(s) know their shit?

Knowing exsactly what they were doing?

Gets me thinking 1. they couldnt take it becuase the imobilser was just too good?

2. or a customer in the carpark saw them and made them shit themselves and run? <-- this i think most.

they really wanted the car, because my stereo (face) wasnt stolen nor my boost guages etc.

They were total amatures dude. A pro would not have cut any of those wires. To jump start a non-immobilised R33 only a single wire needs cutting. They didnt even touch that wire by the looks of it.

None of those wires they actually cut wouldve helped them at all. ****ing clowns.

thats fairly average, suprised your alarm didnt stop them from doing it

so the basically hack sawed off the iginition area just to flog the car

thats insane. i dont what else to say.

I agree, Ive heard of this fault in the R33, Ive tried to get people to PM the method so I can work out a way to prevent it but I havent heard anything more about it.

I would appreciat it if someone can tell us how this is done and what can be done if anything to prevent it.

if they were pros, the dash part below the steering wouldnt be ripped off like that ..

This wasn't a theft attempt, this was pure vandalism.

They ripped apart his steering column and sawed through every wire loom under there purely to piss the owner off.

With the alarm module cable tied like that on the steering column I could have had it running in 2 minutes. This is why the alarms I fit to skylines cannot be seen under the dash!

That was an attempt to steal the car, they are complete idiots and should have their hands cut off. :headshot:

If it was an attempt to steal the car, why would they have sawed through every single wire loom in the steering column, and then not steal anything?

I don't think they were trying to steal it. It was probably the same people who fcuked with his car the last time.

    • 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.
