I must live within a block of you or so htial given that I am also in springvale south atm. Scared :(.

Do you live in a block of red brick flats somewhere between heatherton rd and Sandown Park train station???... ...Kinda near a place my GF calls "Stinky House"...

doesn't sound like much of a change bro.

but who am i to talk, i live in coburg..

Oh well... ...I've got some black and white spray paint... ...Now I just need to head down to seven 11 to get some surpee cup lids and I'll make some "security cameras" for around the house...

Not much crime in my area..... but then again there is scum every where you go. Some suburbs just less than others.

There are often reports of a crime gang "testing" the security of new buildings on st kilda road where they target anything of value in storage cages in the "secure" basement car parks. Lack of cameras, too long delays on auto closing access doors, and lack of care by residents leaving remotes in their cars means anyone can gain entry by tail gating through when someone enters the car park, steal a remote and booya you have ability to come and go..until the building admin cancel the remote (if they bother).

Problem is, doesn't matter where you live, the burbs will never be secure. All you need is some guy walking past and they'll rob. They don't plan for it, it's driven by impulse.

Whether or not they live in the area or just happen to be there is a minor factor.

Unfortunately, it's a "wrong place, wrong time" situation; unless it's like the OP's story and it happens at your house - then it's a "shit happens" situation.

Was at broady station one morning to go to uni. There was a VH parked in the bay closest to the station entrance. The keys were sitting neatly on the dash with the windows wound down.

11 hours later, I get back from Uni and the car is still there...

So the R31 trick may just work.

I think slabs going down this week/next :P

At least if anything is stolen on site, won't be your problem lol

Not good about keying tho.. is it bad? did your decals get screwed?

Woot... ...I just started putting a slab down now... :cheers: ...decals are screwed anyway... ...they're coming off this weekend for nats so I'm not too worried... ...hoping Mitch can buff the scratch out of it... ...otherwise I'm going to get the whole thing resprayed over new years...

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
