Well after a Engine Rebuild, a front ender all in the past 6 months .... i come out of work today to find that some kind person probly looking for money for their next hit has smashed my drivers side window in and taken my radar detector. Luckily thats all they took as i kinda had a premonition this morning when i pulled into my usual spot right in front of the entrance doors to work that something like this was going to happen so i gathered up all my CD's that are usually strewn over my backseat and my CD player face and locked them in my glove box .... lucky i did!

All my go fast bits are still there which means they either go disturbed or they looking for a real fast buck.

My mum got done by multinova twice on the way to come n see the damage done to the car. She's going to write a letter to accompany her fines ..... which goes something along these lines:

I hope you start putting this revenue to good use as in the past week both my son and my daughter have had their cars broken into. If you stopped revenue raising and started putting more patrol cars onto the road maybe this sort of vandalism would stop.

My adopted brother Ben had his 6 month old SS commodore wheels n rims stolen, all windows smashed and keyed last week after he attended an engagement party ... so i guess i got off lightly.

Such a piss off *insert rant here* :rofl:

P.S - if anyone can recommend a business that is good at repairing a smashed window and retinting it .... it would be appreciated ..... i was thinking Novus or something :confused:

Sorry to hear that. Same thing happened to my zed. As you can imagine import windows ain't that easy to source by Novus got mine with 24 hrs and took about an hour to refit. Plus they did it all at my house with minimal disturbance.

HBF Turned me on to them. Only had to pay the excess ($200). The zed window was worth $460...so all in all I was pleased...would've been happier if it hadn't happened in the first place....

Hope you get everything sorted!

thanks guys ..... just more of an annoying inconvience if anything .... and fustrating because at work we get about one break in a month n i dont know if they'll be back :rofl: Amazing that for month i parked my car outside a drug rehab clinic which was up the road from juvenile court n nothing ...... middle of nowhere but still close to a busy place (with a security dept!) n this happens.

Thank you for the recommendation of novus ..... wont be going thru insurance as ive already sent my premiums thru the roof for this year! Concidently i saw one of their cars today haha oh well work has given me some time off tomorrow to get this drama sorted

Novus's ..... saw it parked outside belmont forum when i went to lunch (before all this) for some reason it roused my interest ... today had been one big freaky concidence ..... i cant believe i predicted it.

From now on i probably wont be parking my car at work but my aunty's house nearby

Well that explains it. Belmont aint the nicest area around. I used to live in Kewdale and would get nervous every now and again about my car being out the front.

As we were near tomato lake you would get the late night boozers walking around in rowdy groups....GREAT!

Now I live in a house behind another house and you can't see my car from the street, it's great, however if someone wanders down for a looksey then they have all the time in the world....

Niz are you just letting the drama follow you around for a bit of attention?? :D

Sorry to hear mate. I had the Opera glass in my Soarer (fixed rear window) busted and emailed Just Jap in Sydney to get a replacement. Once you have the glass any winscreen place can do the job. just make sure to shop around as i found a $300 difference in the price of the piece of glass from wreckers.

Sorry to hear about your mum too. Filthy cameras :D

Good luck and maybe add a note to my research thread below.

Thats Terrible nIz.....

The amount of problems we have with our skylines can make us cry but in the end when its all fixed again you will be smiling again......

As already said keep ya head up..... everyone has a run of bad things but then everyone also has a run of good things.....keep that in mind :-)

CAll Jap Parts Plus in Maddington and ask for Andre. They'll be able to tell you straight off it they have any spares. As the owners drive R33's I would be surpised if they didn't. They'll probably fit it for you as well...they did a great, inexpensive job with my gearbox.

Hello Nizmo

Sorry to hear, i got broken into about 3 weeks ago you can read the crap i went through here.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=46213

As for your tint this post came up recently.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=46133

The guys recommended in this are the brothers of one of the members on here.

I ended up getting my window from QLD from prima in the for sale category for $175 overnight shipping. DON"T pay the $280 - $330 i was getting quoted for from the wreckers.

You can install the glass yourself if your willing to hack around but if you are getting it tinted the tinter will have to do it for you.

Hope all goes well.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
