So yeah anyways someone tried to rip my car off last night....

but failed thank the son of rajab!

Edited as per request

Anyways got into bed and noticed I could hear a more noise than usual but I just thought it was the wind n cars going by n stuff so thought nothing of it and went to sleep.

But while I was sleeping my precious 34 was getting the Randall Raines treatment lol but my alarm system worked the pre warning alarm bleeps went off and they must have sh*t themselves done a runner, i woke up this morning to find the boot lock had been jimmied out the boot and just sitting/dangling there and my drives side door had some slight damage, a few scratches and a paint chip that I don't think was there prior to their failed assault lol

To my disappointment I didn't see them so I couldn't chase after the little pricks but if I did I would have beaten their head in and gave em several for the r32foordoor dude with the white 34gt that got pinched last week.

GET YOUR OWN CARS YOU LOW LIFE SCUM! STOP TRYING TO STEAL FROM HARD WORKING NORMAL PEOPLE WITH JOBS!

Also just to add I don't think these where very smart crims because even if they did get into the cabin without making the alarm go off and they managed get past all the alarm and immobiliser gear & the fuel cut even if they did get it started the stupidly loud exhaust shakes my house and my neighbours windows & fence so I highly doubt that no one would wake up haha

In summary – get a good alarm combo & just to top it off get some straight pipes :blink:

Wow lucky man! I do have an alarm and immobiliser (Cyclops i think) but I want to upgrade it sometime in the near future given all of the stuff thats been going on lately. My alarm certainly keeps things secure, but the only thing it doesnt do is give warning beeps, which for me is important.

they dont have to start your car in your drive to steal it.

Good to hear alarm worked

But it is auto and it wont move out of 'P' without the keys in and foot on the break, unless you know the secret and only a auto skyline owner would know lol

imagine if all the owners of other stolen cars took the same precautions as you did.........less than half the Skylines would be stolen and your premiums would be relatively reasonable.

Good work.

how much does it cost to insure the evo?

Lewis, lucky mate. But be careful what u say about where you park you car on a forum. Some insurance companies want cars parked in a locked away garage over night, so things like this are harder to happen without braking into a garage.

good one mate, lucky.

i know a guy who has stolen a few cars over the years. scuuum.

one story was: cut padlock on guys fence, at night, while everyone is sleeping, break into three cars that are in the driveway, blocking the one he actualy wanted to steal, roll all of those out onto the street, then break into final car, roll it a block away before starting and driving home. once home he and his crew would spend all night with the oxy, cutting up the car and just leaving the bits they wanted (grinders make noise that will wake up the nieghbours).

whole things gone in a matter of hours.

get a dog lol

      Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.

      The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?

      I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.

      I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
