If there's any truth to that story it will be a matter of time before they take the wrong persons car and end up six feet under. That's if the bodies are ever found.

Nothing surprises me in the northern/north western suburbs however;)

I go around making these stories up to look cool :P

And the guys stealing the cars don't give a f**k either. Why do you think these guys give a f**k if they come across the wrong person? When you're smoking that much puff you don't give a f**k about anything. Take for example a friend of a friend's car got stolen, they went round to their house (same dream boats stealing cars in the area) and waited outside with a full car load. These guys coming down the street see them in a stolen car they were cruising in and rammed the f**k out of the car lol.

Is it seriously worth getting yourself in shit the bacon for these sad cases? When my car got stolen i was ready to go f**k these guys up, but after i calmed down i realised it's not worth getting locked up over these losers. Also you might know some "wrong people" but are they really going to risk attracting more heat to them over a 10-20k car that isn't even theirs? Think about it lol.

The only real way to stop them is to lock these sad f**ks up, however we know why that never happens :whistling:

Really sorry to hear all the bad news with guys havin their cars stolen and not gettin em back!! Dat sucks. I live in Sydenham and Im shocked to see that Im in the targeted area!

Did the cars that were stolen have alarms?

Im guessin to get them on a flat bed theyd have to pick up the rear so the car would roll, would reversing up to a gutter or curb b some preventative action?

My mates 180sx Type X recently got stolen from in front of his house in Bulleen, and another of my friend's Rx7 got stolen from in front of his house in Doncaster East. Looks like the eastern suburbs aren't safe either! My suggestions and they're obvious ( :P ), lock your car up on every occasion every night in a locked garage, lock your steering wheel with one of those 80's/90's style locks, make sure you have an immobiliser installed, sleep inside your garage with a shotgun and one eye open ;)

....and maybe the not so obvious, don't advertise the car/s you own in pictures/comments on webpages that can easily and publicly identify you such as facebook, AND take caution if you notice someone following you home. This last point probably wont apply to your average Joe driving a battered gtst, but for more expensive cars it probably will. A good friend of mine who drives super expensive cars (in the order of $700,0000 - $800,000 each) has been followed home on numerous occasions though luckily he noticed and pulled into random streets and got away. Who knows, maybe some kids who just wanted to gawk at his cars, perhaps they wanted to steal them? Food for thought....

      You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not

      GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣

      Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version.
