lowest form of scum is someone who intentionally vandalises someone elses car because they have a grudge against them...

someone keyed my car...entire passenger side. minimum 2 scratches on each panel, and about 20 on the rear panel....

if i had walked out and found them in the act, i'd be the 1 charged...what a legal system we have!

hows this for a story...my cousins own a fruit shop in warnambool...out the back in the car park, they see an old bloke back into someones car....then he gets out, and starts writing a note to leave on the windscreen of the victim (all good it seems, so they go inside)

later on a lady comes in asking my cousins if they saw anyone hit her car...they tell her he left a note, so she shows them the note...which read something along the lines of

"hahaha i hit your car"

what a nice old man

this also happened to me..

BUt this happened while i was driving.. Some bloddy idiot merged into my lane witout looking!!! rear drive side door is f**ked.. anyways i signal him 2 follow into the next street, coz i was on the main road n didnt wanna held up traffic, and follws for 2 secs, n bloddy speeds off..

Mum was in the car also, n shes bloddy screaming... I SO wanted to chase him.. damm mum!!! since it happened so quickly i couldnt get his numberplate..

But thankgod it happened to the camry..

aarghhhhhhhhhh...

The day you stop listening to mum: you become a man.

Parents often think they are always right, and know everything. Well, what use was it to listen to your 'fountain of wisdom'? you have a broken mirror, no details of the driver, and you'll be out of pocket to repair it. B

loody parents are useful for one thing - Teaching you until you become independant and can think for yourself.

f**k i hate hearing shit like this! i know exactually how you feel and god damnnn isnt it frustrating, specially wen you dont know who did it.

I drove my car to school just after its respray (paint was still soft) had only been painted 2 days before.

My mate goes over to my car to find egg all over it, baked on the roof and the door.

The egg ate the paint and left horrible marks in it!! i wasn't impressed at all but least now i have a rough idea who did that, and whos touched my car on other occasions too!

Goodluck with getting it fixed, i hope you catch them!

my frends 3 day old Dc5 integ was literally keyed to the bullshit with a rather racist nazi thingi ma jib on the bonnet along with "fkn jew" n wer like buddhist??

hmmm well yea parents are right also u know.. coz i was heaps pissed off and if i started chasin i would have put someone else in danger by doin something stupid.. I just hope that other person crashes or something.. n has a 10k bill..

But seriously, i hate ppl who damages someone elses car on purpose.. So scared something will happen to the line also..

Guess it time to put a million cameras around our car eh!!! lol

  • 2 weeks later...

I got hit once. Im gessing it was a ute backed into the front of my car and being a R32 i have the vents on the bumper either side of the plate. The ute must have had a tow-ball at the back, and cracked and took a small hole out the passanger bumper, just under the vent... that pissed me off...

thanks

Came home today to find out my younger brother's Hyundai got hit in the rear door in a car park while he was at uni. Big dent, no note. Even though the car is a shit heap, it still pisses me off. If they left a note, we may not have even made them pay for it - the car just isnt worth the $$$ to fix it. Instead they have left us all with immense rage...

Vandalism seems to mainly happen to cars that look like they are cared for nicely - I suspect if it's not a grudge it's probably jealousy/tall poppy syndrome.

Unfortunately, to stay under the radar it seems you need a shit looking car. I've always preferred sleepers partly for this reason (and other reasons, like cops...).

People who do runners after an acco do so because, well, there's nothing stopping them from running unless a cop shows up at that moment (yeah, right). And I wouldn't chase them unless you want to wear a fine, points loss, possible licence loss....because that cop that wasn't around for the crash will probably spot your flouro pink skyline with chrome rims going 120k's in a 60 zone moment's after the crash and think you are racing...

I feal your pain, my old celica gt4 was parked out front while i was trying to sell it. A delivery van droped a chair across the road and decided it would be nice to reverse park onto the back quarter panel smashig it and shunting the car into the curb, scuffing the 17inch 3g wheels it had. he wasnt insured so decided to just leave his mobil num, then when i ran got hostile and refused to pay. My insurance needed his home num addy and crap so mobile wasnt enough. There still trying to get the money from him. Got the celica fixed sold it for 13.5g and got myself a R33 Gts25t. i think i will cry the day that my new car is hit while parking.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
