Does bad luck come in threes?!?!?!

2 moths ago my 33 was broken in too. They had two cracks at it. Pulled back a wire fence to get at it and first time set of the alarm. Second time they just smashed the passenger window. Its quite funny... for what they would make at the pawn shop ($150 odd buck for the head unit) it is costing me out of pocket $500 odd and insurance about $2250.

Two days ago my mates old man backed in to my front spoiler and I bolted down thinking my car was again being broken in to. And then yesterday my car was keyed all the way up the drivers side. Just hoping the cut and polish on my first claim will get it out.

So I am a little curious on where to position and how to fit one of these ten dollar house alarms in the cabin. I had one go off in a foyer once and they bloodly well hurt your ears!!!!

If these bastards want something in your car they will get in, alarm or not. Your only safety is to park your in what you think are safe places- try to use parking lots, it costs a few extra bucks but at least there are less dickheads are walking up and down past your car like they would be if you are on a road. Dont think just because its daytime they wont break into your car, durin the day on a main road these scumbags jacked my headunit! My tint is only slightly off limo full black tint too so its not like they could see right in either. Obiviously keep your car garaged as often as possible and if you need to park keep it on main roads. With the way these ****heads are getting into cars at the moment - if they dont manage to get in thru the door they will just smash your window. Trust me them smashing the window is definately the cheaper option repair wise. Unfortunately owning a nice car comes at a cost, as i'm sure many of us already know!

    • 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
