Really makes you wonder. We really dont have a fool proof system for protecting our cars

=[

Yea when I read this (was searching for what to look for, buying a R32 GTR next week I hope :D) got me a little depressed that not only do I have to worry about buying a lemon or having to do a rebuild, but now have to worry about asshats stealing it to?!?!

I thought of the chaining to a poll as well, unfortunately it will probably give even more credence to someone trying to steal it >_<

I think some sort of timelapse is probably the only thing that will provide enough details, certainly if you then get their faces or any other details. I'm pretty confident you wouldn't have to worry about a blanket going on the car while it is on the towtruck, at least until they catch on and start doing that as well >_<

Ultimately, I think setting up some sort of mega loud "THIS CAR IS BEING STOLEN" alarm that will go off if/when you don't push a button every day or something. Should be plenty of places to hide it, then just stick the battery in a door or something they'll never think to check.

this might seem drastic but chain the wheels to something like a pylon. like, big f**k off big chains

Bike chain for a car???

Is this what you had in mind??? (See Below)

when's the last time you EVER saw a towy taking a car and thought 'WTF! GET HIS DETAILS!' Never.

I'm totally suss of any sort of tow truck with no signage....and anything without plates. When I started working for City Link I started looking at people's plates (have no idea why) and have just kept doing it.

Doesn't hurt to ask the other states if they have seen the car up for sale or find someone to suddenly have a MP R34.

MP R34 , is quite rare - most likely the car will be sold "as is", I don't imagine they would go to the trouble of changing the colour, but who knows.

I'm sure it's probably a crime gang, with someone specifically wanting a MP R34 (stolen to order).

This might sound harsh, but have yoAre you positively annoyed friend?e any new "friends"/acquaintance lately, say in the last 3 months, asking about your car, where you work or un-solicited offering to buy the car etc? Reason being if it were planned they would have wanted to know more about your car.

Also have a think back if anyone has been following you to work.

Good luck with it all.

Obviously this isn't a case of some people wanting a quick joyride.

man thats so totally f**ked, sorry to hear man, hope u get it back in one piece soon, why dont they make laws here to SHOOT AND/OR INJURE BADLY ON THE SPOT any crook caught in the act or after the act. I would support that law 100%.

So guys, whats the best security now - GPS tracker?? how many of u have one?

thanks everyone.

i cant recall annoying anyone or anyone really asking questions about my car. a few people know where i work but my roster changes all the time so i dont know how they really knew i was working on sunday my guess is that it could of been anyone working at the shopping centre. eg. the trolley guys. but looks like it wont be found the police didnt sound very enthusiastic that they will find and same goes for my insurance company so looks like its time to begin searching for a car again.:(

Buy Marlin's R34.

Shit luck though, this is why I never park my R32 anywhere other than the garage, football training or uni (loads of parking officers) =/

Having a daily au falcon with hubcaps is awesome cause I don't have to drive the GTR everywhere!

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
