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:

holly shit.....good thing that the alarm worked lewis....straight pipes are very good investments lol......damn if only you caught them....keep your ear out mate as they might come and try again

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?

-D

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

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
