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!

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
