Skylines in Melb being broken into

[Nismo_286]

Hey, can you PM me the ways of breaking into skylines...

I am worried for my car as well...

Thanks...

I had my R33 broken into on the 2nd of Jan in Melbourne CBD, they seemed to know exactly how to get in as the actual lock wasn't touched, they used a method that I won't go into as I don't want to help others do the same.  They stole my stereo and amp, luckily neither were worth very much, but to get the stereo out they did break the dash board.

Any last night I was at Melb High and there was another R33 Skyline which I noticed had the same markings on it that indicated it had been broken into in the same fashion and looking in the window it was also missing its Stereo.

So using my powers of deduction I'm tipping that these two aren't isolated cases, has anyone else had their skyline broken into recently in Melb.

I'm sure there must be a way to stop how they are getting into the car, if anyone knows what I am talking about and has already figured out how to prevent it can they please PM me.  An alarm doesn't seem to stop them.

I dont want to sound melodramatic, but is there a way to  

ensure this info doesn't get into the wrong hands?

Im sure all the little thiefs out there would already know about it.

It's just the un-suspecting owners that wouldnt

I wouldn't mind a quick pm as well, if that's cool...

[paulr33]

pm me too thanks. i take my face off all the time and never ever leave it in the car. also ive just got burnt cds in the glove box

what is a alarm gonna stop a thief from getting away with your stereo??? it stop the car being started and getting driven away..in most cases that is.

You would need to have a super loud siren in your car to help. Otherwise how many times do you hear alarms going off in the car park??? and u care??? i wouldnt thinks so

Also with windows being smashed etc??? has anyone watched high octance 2/3 with the mr2 that he applys this window tint that withstands breaking apart even with a baseball bat????

Any comments on how this can be avoided in future would be of great help

Thanks!

ps, oh and Rob, if you have any ideas, love to hear them too! Thanks!

Fellow skyline drivers;

I had my liner broken into in the CBD, parked on a main road during broad daylight. The tint on my windows is VERY dark and you can barely see in during the day. They jackked my head unit and damaged bits of the dash when yanking it out. Its not so much the headunit missing that is the problem ($700 pioneer unit), its the fkn damage they did to my fkn door which needs a new door skin - and i went to a few panel beaters and they cant find any skyline door skins so u have to get a new door or bogg up the damage. A new door and spraying will cost around the $1200 mark. My word of advice to any skyline owners is make sure u only park on main roads, never park down any sidestreets and definately do not park your car near any commission flats. Make sure you have an alarm that may at least deter them when its going off but remember it only takes these pricks 15-20 seconds to do over ur car - mates of mine with alarms have been jacked before. If you have lots of lovely guages, apexi electronic gear etc on the dash dont let ur fkn car go outta ur sight. Its fkt these days that you cant even have a nice car without it getting broken into and wrecked not to mention dickheads going around keying peoples cars - 1 of my mates with a skyline got keyed to the shithouse parked in a paid parking lot. Sucks hey.

If you could PM me it'd be good. I know of one way to get into the 33 without causing any damage whatsoever, and it's quite an easy fix, I just want to make sure that I haven't missed something else!

Obviously an alarm will still make noise but won't stop someone from actually getting in...

These sirens are meant for house alarms - the sales person even tried to talk me out of buying it as he recons you'd get deaf... but if a thief wanted to break into the car and steal shit, then I don't care if they get deaf.

Heard a story about a guy in the US fitted one of these into his car - and some guy broke into his car and was deafened by it when it went off. The thief sued the owner for permenent hearing damage and won.

Why dont you people just wire up another siren?

Get a piezo siren from dick smith or something; they're only about 10 bucks, but they're 100+DB.. Mount this somewhere hidden IN THE CABIN.. I can guarantee you that no1 can stand even a few seconds.

If your alarm is triggered, you'll find that your normal siren (under the bonnet) will be louder outside the car, but stick your head inside the car and then you'll see what its like

WORKS GREAT. I have 5 Sirens in total on my Skyline. 2 in the Cabin and 3 out front. Imagine how loud it is? :devil1:

Also when installing the exterior alarm, try to mount it behind the front bar not under the bonnet. 2 reasons;

1.Hard to get to and disconnect

2.Louder due to the lack of restriction for sound.

Revhead, you too have mentioned one potential weak security point in the R33. Can you please PM me with those details and moreso, what you did to fix it.

Your comments are greatly appreciated

[Revhead]

PMs sent.

[Jamezilla]

I WISH the c*nts who raped my car knew this 'trick' - otherwise they wouldn't have smashed both windows to get in. Little f*cks - still got an itchy ball-kicking foot should they ever be found...

I'm interested on the internal siren thingo - I don't care if I send a stupid junkie theiving f*ck deaf. I'd like the siren to kick them hard in the balls too.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

ahahahaha lolz james....you keyboard junkie..

[Jamezilla]

Heh - I'm at work and procrastinating.

Need to get stuff done... but can't be f*cked. Not a good mix.

Might go make another coffee...
