Hey everyone,

I'm new on here (and reasonably new to the world of Skyline ownership!) and wish my first post was slightly more positive but...

I was just woken up to the sound of my car being broken into, and am now left with glass everywhere and one window short :down: I guess that on the bright side my alarm scared them off before they could grab anything...

Anyway, I have had a quick search around to no avail and was wondering if anyone could had any thoughts on rough costs/recommendations for a place to get it repaired? I've never been in this situation before :S

Thanks

Oh crap.... sorry to hear that :down: Stupid thieves :(

I'm sure most glass replacement places would do it? Or you could source one from a wrecker/import workshop, or on here, and then just pay for the labour?

Or if you're with Shannons or another insurer who has free glass replacement you could probably get it fixed for nothing.

thanks heaps! ill give them a call tomorrow morning and see whos cheapest :down:

im a little worried now cos i don't know where to park my car in case they come back.. i think i'm gonna invest in one of those covers and hope for the best. the car needs a pin code to start so hopefully that will scare them off!

I'd just make sure there's nothing in it to steal and tape up the window with some plastic or something for tonight... Obriens or similar should be able to do it for you tomorrow if you ring up early :down:

i assume its the door glass?

they're usually pretty expensive just for the glass. I sourced one for my car (its not a skyline) in Sydney and picked it up after a ACT panel shop smashed mine. even second hand it was close to that.

Wrecker in queanbeyan had an r33 with both doors and windows a lil while back.

BTW - Obrien's did a chip repair for me today and it was $150 for a chip on the front windscreen passenger side.

Thinking I should have had the the windscreen replaced for $300 at that price.

Especially as it left a mark even after the repair.

I had no idea it was so expensive! :O Makes a lot of sense to go with an insurer who has the "1 free window replacement per year" type thing, $500-$700 is a large chunk of your premium essentially paid for!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
