Came back to my car on tuesday night to find it COVERED in key marks! Bonnet completly covered in deep scratches, both sides gone over twice nice and deep and on the roof twice. They even got one tail light and ripped up my stickers.

It was parked near george st around the central station area round the corner from Gas night club.

I just stood there in shock for about 5 mins....after all the shi7 the cars been thru i'm beyond caring!

Bunch of savages in this town, my car had two people hit in carparks withinn 6 days of one another, one incident a witness told me involved a govt bus.

Of course noone stopped and i have no details. I know what you mean about no longer caring.

However i got lucky and a friend has done an excellent job fixing the dents and scratches for cost of paint only. He use to work for chips away, maybe give them a try its freaky how much they can fix with out respraying entire sections.

Man this sucks.

I think it's time to do a stake out. It sounds like some has targeted you or your car for some reason.

If I was you, I'd park the car in the same spot and wait a long way away with a video camera with a good zoom.

Get them on tape doing it and take it to the cops.

Even if it takes a few days.

So where you were parked there isn't any security cameras around??

GTR-8OY im sorry to hea about what happened again! that is seriously beyond a joke and plain selfish of the asshole that did it! Maybe you are parking it in the wrong places??? I personally did not leave my car unatended for more than 30 min or so... If ur going to leave the car for a long time park somewhere where there are heaps nmore people or cops drive by regularly, hopefully that will discourage them a bit more.

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
