Places not to leave your skylines...


Recommended Posts

I just saw something like this in the NSW section, thought it might be a good idea for us Vics to make list of the spots you wanna avoid, post your personal expriences where you or someone you know had their skylines/cars stolen or damaged...this might help not only us Vics, but some of the interstate people whom of late have been coming to Vic for work or fun...this can also be searched later on if not made sticky and perhaps save people a lot of grief...

So here i go...some of the places i avoid like the clap are Chadstone s/c(especially coles car park, most of you know why), Monash Clayton where a mates turbo Datsun 510(which i had just rebuilt :thumbsup: ) perished never to be seen again and another mates sr20 powered bluebird got broken into...

another hot spot is the Vic market which is notorious for car thefts, as well as crown car park although i must admit guilt for sometimes parking there for convinience... :Oops:

oh by the way i am not sure if this was done before, if so i will make it disappear.. :ufo:

Anywhere you can't keep your eyes on it...

i try to never leave mine at the shops, i try to go to smaller shops so i can be within range for my pager to go off if the alarm is triggered...

Don't park it at any train station full stop - all cars get targetted there.

Is wilsons the car park on latrobe/russel street?!

If it is my window looks out onto the car park

I always see drug deals going on in the door ways, shitloads of needles everywhere in the alley and on the road :P

My mates R1 had 2 Needles sticking in his seat lol

Places i wouldnt want to park:

Craple street - Refused to drive their every saturday because of b'ball at the grammar, its chaos their - paid off aswell, mates car got backed into (hit n run)

Supermarket Carparks - old grannies and runaway shopping trolleys

Chadstone shopping centre - a few r33's been jakked from here, some even during the day. Stay away.

Parkville/flemington/kensington - keep your car away from here, junkies will jack ur stereo in broad daylight

any thing within the vacinity of a commision flat complex is definately a no-no.

You guys might wanna note that the thieves may be part of the skyline community too? Or that they peruse this website just like the cops :P

Friend's S15 got stolen in his secure key card apt in the city. Camera footage showed the car being driven away but till this day, nothing's been found.

My house x 2 also.

Brunswick street (f**king hippies/bums whatever) peace and love my ass... lets steal that dudes mobile and wallet and smash his window so we can get high tonight.

Crown Casino... shit security and don't want to know about it also.

lets steal that dudes mobile and wallet.

If you're silly enough to leave your wallet and your phone in the car, then you need to accept part of the blame. :D

It's common sense not to leave valuables in plain sight.

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
