Attempted Theft in Bertram 3am this morning.

Both my r33 and the girfriends new suzuki were touched.

My motorbike CBR250RR was touched as well.

My girlfriends Suzuki Spare Key was Taken. My German Shepherd Puppy Alerted us to them as well as he roams the house freely at night.

Once Awake me and the girlfriend were confronted by 5 Tall People dressed in black from head to toe they were all inside the house with torches and all they were about 6ft 1 in height each.

My attempts to bail them up with the baseball bat had failed and they simply ran.

They were using a White Rav 4 with no plates (Recent model) police suspect the car they were using was stolen from Wembley Recently.

To me they seem very professional in the way they did things and whats worrying is that seeing they have the spare key to the suzuki. Leads me to believe they will Return.

is there any suggestions people can make to prevent this in the future?

I Asked the cop that turned up about gun laws and break and entering/ stealing. he looked at me funny and strongly urged me not to shoot anyone inside your house unless they are Threatening and to call cops in future.

my car keys are kept in my room with me (both sets)

just unfortunate that the girlfriends spare keys were elsewhere in the house. her main set remain on her at all times as well.

Cops believe the lock to the door was picked open. (currently they have a few people of interest based on that fact (they had a list of people with them for recent offences)

Ah this is no good too hear. I'd probably throw some money into some security, dead locks on doors and surprisingly not much beats the old stick in the window groove trick. Give it another 6 or so months and the Dog should be enough to keep them out of the house, out German Shepherd is good like that. Fortunate that you were home at the time. I don't think they'll have a go at getting inside again but they may make another attempt on the cars. Hopefully they leave you alone. My brother sleeps with a Katana near by in case things like this happens.

At least you guys were not hurt and the cars were not taken. Lucky you, Sean.

My opinions are have a sensor flood light installed between the cars and closest window and increase your car security. Plus, your German Sheperd is going to grow up so that's better.

My guess is also they have to live near your area as well. They might also know there are two people live in the house with a small dog. Hope they get caught.

Baseball bat sounds ok but I have both now. Because that might be the only time I get to use them. :)

Just went out to Bunnings and got a Motion Sensor Flood Light Right where it was needed.

Dick Smiths - Quell Entry Sirens. 20 bux each. i installed them on doors and sliding doors. they go off when the door it opened to a tune of 110 decibels.

I'd Say the Contributing Factor in all this is the fact they got in without waking anyone up. if they try to breach the house again it will surely be a very loud entry and wake everyone up.

the flood light is to stop them from roaming around like ninjas :ph34r:

we've had crooks jump our side fence (we live on a corner block) we got up, bro grabbed his baseball bat, i grabbed mine, we went from different sides and chased the guy for a solid 300m before we stopped!

also had people try to pick our old door lock, guy was fumbling with about 100 different keys, called the cops, rocked up within 3mins....too bad they had just taken off...theres some real scum out there!!

latest incident, somebody jumped our side fence, and removed the flood lights lights, left the globes on the ground and stole my lil sis's bike...fence is 6 6" ft tall too...scum mate!

I had one 2AM in the morning on Sat. They broke in and woke me up in my bedroom while i was asleep.. they were about to go through my room but quickly closed the door when they realized i was in bed asleep. I kinda woke up and found it suspicious.

So i got up with my Samurai Sword... N told them to get out.. there was 2 of them.. As usual they were looking for the keys for my Skyline.. They ran away.. They only had 1 exit in the house which i could of easily blocked off but i wanted them to just get out..

I also found the Kitchen knife on the Lounge.. i think they were gonna use that just incase they had a confrontation.. Also found Old Car keys of the Camry on the lawn later in the morning which was sold ages ago..

I brought a house with my brother recently. Have been in there about 6weeks or so. About 2 weeks ago around 1130pm on a Sunday night, the doorbell rung. 6 young kids (no older than 18) standing at the front door. I grabbed a metal pole and my brother grabbed a piece of wood with steel down the centre. 2 of the kids were trying to jack my brothers BMW.

We only have a 1 car garage and his bmw is usually in the garage with my suzuki out the back of the house (garage goes right through to the back yard), but the garage was full of cardboard boxes from the furniture/tv/etc.

Chased them off, called the police and the next morning, 3 teenagers (oldest 18) were arrested around 1130pm that night for assaulting a middle-aged woman in her car. Were the same kids, and worse still, i live in noranda, right near dianella, so it's not actually a dodgy area at all!

Lived with my parents for the last 22 years (about 1km away from my current house) and not one break in/theft/etc in 22years!

I heard about a r32 being stolen on the monday night before it all happened (so two nights before hand). Didnt Know of a R34. Living on Araulen Crescent. The Missus Hasnt yet got to change her keys over either but...... we have moved her car far far far away. It would have to be all the same people the cops were at the house within minutes. Just tonight I've seen 15 cop cars sprawled out amongst 3 suburbs. So I'd say its only a matter of time

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
