hey guys just thought i would bring to your attention i had an attempted theft on my 33 at around 5ish this morning. (been meaning to get an alarm but recent lack of funds stopped this). I got lucky, no damage on entry and they have popped the ignition to start it however the steeringlock wouldnt release so once it was out the driveway they got no where. And my trusty neighbour spotted it while out having an early morning smoke. had not got around to putting insurance renewal back on either so im very lucky to still have my baby here.

I live in Southern Brisbane around the sunnybank and runcorn area so if u have a skyline in the area make sure its protected. First things on my list atm now are an alarm and renewing insurance.

Currently waiting on qps arrival :( will update this if and when i find out anything from them. They have taken my wallet, gps and the cheap bastard even took my smokes!!

AGAIN MAKE SURE YOURE BABY IS SECURE, ALARMED AND INSURED. I wish i hadnt left mine so long now.

So many thefts down brisbane way at the moment.

Suprised your neighbour didnt go and confront them if he saw something going on.

You were very lucky though this time, you still have your pride and joy to enjoy!!

neighbour said she thought it was me at first but when he looked at her the guy suddenly headed up the street and didnt come back and the car was still out in the road running then she realised what was going on. Working in a prison though all i can say is if the cops do actually catch this guy i hope he ends up in where im working.

found a column for yours btw :)

sometime this week I will get it re keyed.

could be worse - mate of mine had keys,wallet taken from a unit in that area. keys were benz optical and they are going to be a pain to replace. add to that one ute that went for a drive as well (with tools in the tray I am told.)

lock them up or lose them seems to be the thing for southside at the moment.

had a chat to a neighbor a few days bay who has a toy tucked away and he was saying someone is trying to get that as well..

what is it with people???

Got a nice set of wheels? Love your pride and joy? Dont want some window licking fcuktard to steal it? Easy solution! Call Chris Rogers, Get the job done and dont be a tightarse. The guy is from what i can tell, an absolute legend and really knows his schnizzit. Alarms and immobilisers are there to keep the honest ones away, so think outside the box and incorporate other sneaky means to securing your pride and joy, im sure chris can make some subtle suggestions to you if you are a commited customer :)

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
