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.:(

Another GTR scotty? Don't let it leave a sour taste in your mouth dude!

yeah your right mate but there just isnt very many for sale at the moment and i cant wait for the few months of looking and then a few more months of gettng it on the roads here by importing it because thats just to long without a car.

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!

    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
