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.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
