Hi Guys,

Just letting everyone know my Skyline was attempted stolen at Westfield North Lakes carpark today around 1pm. Witnesses have come forward and forensics are coming for prints (there are nice ones on the window where they got in)

Now to find a whole new ignition barrel and basically a whole steering assembly as they snapped all plastic and controls.

Hope they get whats coming to them!!!

Also a shout out to William from North Lakes & Districts Towing private tow operator, this guy is a champion call out in 10 minutes and flat rate $88/hr, I recommend this guy for anyone who needs a tow Northside Brisbane.

Here are his details: http://www.truelocal.com.au/business/north-lakes-and-districts-towing/north-lakes

Yes alarm system and immobiliser system, saved it cos they couldn't start it, funny thing is they didnt steal the $1000 sound system, GPS, dash cam, prestige personalised plates or any tools that were in the car

Since you are near me pop past. I can sort the column and rekeying the car will be easy as well. Done plenty.

May pay to see if I can steal it as well.

^this right here, if he can make it run/ steal it anyone who knows what they're doing can, lucky break though in the fact they a) didn't get to steal the car and b) didn't pinch anything. Really makes me rethink ownership of a fabulous car all because a few c**ts who obviously can't afford their own want to steal them.

if they tried a basic hot wire would it be possible for me to disable (with remote) the alarm/immobiliser and touch the wires together and it start? unless they have stuffed my immobiliser in the process as my car chirps and central locking is active still?

Ok I am going to do something I usually do not do..

To take one of these cars for a ride you need to get past the column lock. Hammer or a crowbar is fine for that.

Then you need to get power on . Screwdriver works there once you destroy the key lock you twist to switch and you have a car .

Now if someone has done the job properly the the alarm and paging unit has triggered and the owner is on the way out with a baseball bat. If not the then the alarm wiring gets ripped out and the siren smashed. Then the car is gone.

All of this takes about 3-4 minutes max to do..

Have your attention yet?

I highly recommend you swing past Chris. I attended one of his security nights and it is amazing how fast someone who knows what they are doing can have them started even with a 'professionally' installed alarm/immobiliser.

Depends how the job was done. If it was me, nope. No amount of button pressing would stop the car.

That's no good at all.

By any chance are you a staff member that parks basically in the same spot down the woollies end out the front????

Might be a random question, but whenever I come over to the shop to do groceries etc probably 3 times a week I too always park at that end and there is always the same white 33 in the same spot. Sad to think but if it is you maybe they have been thinking about it for a while.

I got rego make and model of the offenders vehicle, am I allowed to post it on here?

Forensics have come around today and got all the prints and will be running checks. Now I can explore it seems no wires have been cut/stripped, just the ignition barrel and plastics. Maybe the alarm spooked them or they had no real idea what they were doing??? There is so many wires behind steering column its not funny. Westfield is going over footage to get images of car and trace back to people inside. If they have entered the shopping centre they will be on camera.

Depends on what R33 you mean PHT34 - there are a few regulars, i park Woolies area always but not always same spot, prob was me you are thinking of as i havent seen the other regulars for months (maybe theirs have been stolen)

Excel bogans aye. Probably down from depression bay.

Zeke bring it past and I will give it a once over.,

Might swing past next Saturday morning again if that works for you.

    • 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
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
