cool im around that area. ill keep an eye out.

i just had my skyline broken in to 2 weeks ago. they stole the cd player. bov blitz with pipe.

apexi air filter and air flow meter. boot carpet. front grill gtr style. as well as smashing the driver side window.

thank God it wasnt stolen cos my insurence was overdue for over a month!!!

i did here a skyline take off in the middle of the night. dam..... i shouldnt have left it parked on the road.

:werd:

i'll be forking out for Mobile paging and immobilisation now.

24-7 monitoring... while it may cost me... i dont trust anyone at the moment.

Car thiefs are running riot lately and local authorities are doing nothing to stop the crooks that are getting more and organised and little is being done apart from park your car in safe places.

but tell me, if my own driveway is not safe, where is?

Hope all goes well harun!

Im Yo security Bitch, Paging, Tracking you name it!!

what happens if you get car jacked or something of that sort....

i dont think there is a security system that can stop a thief stealing a car there just simple deterrents. If they really want ya car there gonna take it!

Actually Brant Nemesis has an anti-hijack feature. It's a great alarm, comes standard on WRXs, but is a bit of a pain in the butt in its operation...

Car was spotted heading towards Wynum exit on the Gate-Way. My police friends are trying to get the tapes for me.

(by the way this is in SE-QLD - brisbane)

At least you know they are driving it (100x better chance for recovery), not good for the car if they are thrashing it though :)

man, my mate at work had his 180 broken into at hawthorn and they did EXACTLY THE SAME SHIT TO HIS CAR AS YOURS

broke the drivers window

took stereo, blow off, air filter, steering wheel (was after market), as well as other bits and pieces that werent worth shit;

bah, makes me angry

I GOT MY CAR BACK

Picked it up not long ago

police did 2 raids arrested 4 people searching for 4th.

The car has not been touched in any form and only travelled a mere 30kms. Thank god for smart boost controllers as the idiots tried to boost but couldnt boost it more then .6 bar.

Thank you to all who helped out.

BTW the car was found at North St kingston, and a guy by the name of Narcis Pop was charged several times in regards to the theft of my car.

Also in regards to Famous, they had refused to pay me out because i had willingly given my car keys to some one else. The car was not stolen from home.

will answer any questions.

thank you all

You're very lucky mate.

I know of a guy over here in the UK who spent about 2 years doing up a Rover 220 GTI. The car standard isn't all that nice, but he put a lot of work into it and it looked great. Then some joy-riders stole it, dumped it and burned it. No respect whatsoever.

Mate, that's great news. I had my WRX stolen 2 years ago and it's never been seen since. I can honestly say it was the best example of a 2 year old WRX that I've ever seen. I bought it brand new and looked after it like it was my child.

Until you've had a car stolen, you'll never know what it feels like.

How did this "willingly" hand over the keys occur?

Hmm.. so you didn't willingly hand them directly to the thief then? Sounds like a typical insurance company trying to weasel their way out of paying.

Believe it or not, I'm still in dispute with my insurance company over items that were in the car at the time, viz. my camera equipment. It was valued at a little over $3,000, but they decided that they only wanted to pay me $1250 for it. You can understand why I've not accepted their offer.

I await hearing what argument the insurer put to you for not covering the theft (when you can give us a run down)

Hmm.. so you didn't willingly hand them directly to the thief then? Sounds like a typical insurance company trying to weasel their way out of paying.

Who would you willing hand your keys?

Take a guess. Maybe you've done it before.

It's incredibly lucky to get the car back intact.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
