Last night at about 6:30pm someone attempted to steal my R33 gtst

Mooroolbark Victoria

They tried to pry my garage roller door open and luckily didn't manage to get inside before being spooked by neighbours.

A shifty looking guy has been hanging around for the last few weeks, this is the reason she's off the street and I've kicked my brothers new Audi out of the garage into the weather.

Seriously lock your cars up tight

I've made a bar lock that goes from front left rim to right rear rim under the car that locks in place with blast proof locks, leaving the car unable to turn or roll.

If you want one

Call me 0402185982

What stops them from taking your wheels off? Or does it just poke through the spokes rather than bolsters to them?

So the bars poke out through the rim and have a plate that's slid on before you lock it down.

I suppose they could remove your wheels, but the time and effort involved is to risky, I also supply security wheel nuts to stop them removing the wheel to start with.

Another product if your worried is a quick release positive battery terminal cable that un clips from your cars existing cable.

It's got a rubberised sleeve to stop the metal joiner touching anything whole driving but can be removed by simply removing the pin and un clipping it.

Leaving your car with no power to start.

This gets annoying say if you have a preset audio selection on your stereo, but is another sure way to keep the car safe.

Is your garage directly on the street or at the back of a driveway?

I'm astonished that these Gts-t's are still targeted so hard! Don't get me wrong, I love mine, but they're hardly worth anything these days, and there are plenty of other cars to steal out there..

Yeah I don't get it

Parts aren't worth much?

What's the point?

My garage is at the back of the driveway

Im guessing its bot the price but the easy market to pass the parts on to. For example if they stole a bmw how many people would honestly be looking for those parts?

Well yeah the price of a 2nd hand Evo 8 Exhaust, compared to a 2nd hand R33 exhaust... Price is about double for the skyline parts

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
