With all the high profile car theft going on in ACT at the moment, just a heads up to people to note any suspicious activity around their car. Some people have been using tow trucks and just dragging cars onto them to never be seen again.

Only reason I bring this up is because over the weekend I have spotted a red commodore (VN/VP) and also a wine red R33 GTST driving up my street slowing down right out the front of my house and people looking up into the garage and driving off. Making me a tad uneasy and concerned.

What high profile cars have been stolen, I haven't heard anything.

Im certainly aware of all the recent "tow away thefts". I know a couple of cars that have gone bump in the night! The sadest thing is that statistically they all end up in a thousand pieces in Sydney! Like all the hard work and hard earned money you spent is nothing to them!

Oh and if your saying that they wont break in to other cars just to get them out of the way then your mistaken! The last high profile car taken was parked in by two other cars!

You have to realise some people slowing down for a look are enthusiasts, which can make it hard to discern between those taking a look and those scoping the car/security out. I had a Nissan Exa, white with big Nismo sticker up the side drive past my car in Woden a while ago, reverse and sit looking at the car for a few seconds before speeding off...heard on these forums they did the same to someone else. if you think someone looks suspicious, take down their rego and note the cars make/model/colour. You just can't be too careful these days.

Also make sure not to give out your rego numbers and address on these forums, you don't know who's reading it.

The real cupprit here is our law enforcers, the cops do all the work getting these slimes, and then the courts let 'em go with a good behaviour bond. They plead it was a first time and they were desperate for funds etc etc.

They are back out on the street in no time. If it was tougher they'd all be locked away or it wouldn't be worth their while vs gaol time etc.

but trident, they've had hard childhoods, their parents were divirced or their father's did'nt love them enough, or too much and they once saw their beloved pet cat get run over, how can you not show compassion to the little deev-o bastards? NOT THE SARCASM!

i agree with you completely! im so sick of the sons of bitches getting let off when they should be locked up, then beaten daily with oversized dildo's!

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
