well, i went nuts with the cut-and-polish yesterday and it came up pretty good.. i can still see where it has been keyed but its much better

i think a respray might still be on the long-term list though..

You are lucky, mine is down to the metal, the paint caynon actually casts a shadow in the right light. Have just sealed mine with some white touch up paint to prevent rust while I wait for paint. It actually left a serrated edge where the paint was flaking off.....very uncool as it requires a lot of prepartaion now to repaint it, hence the high cost...... :(

These threads really get me worked up, I just can't believe someone would deliberatly do that to someones car. If you find them, give them two options - pay for the damage or put a shifter into their knee caps - I would.

My advice ask everyone in the street if they saw anything, if they have gone on a bit of a spree, chances are someone saw something.

Good luck, I feel for you.

I hope you find who it is & burn down their house... At least incinerate their car. Oww & slice their balls off while your at it. owww then douse them with the petrol your burning their house down with & burn them to... but then attempt to put them out by pissing on them... but then you realise that doesn’t work well enough so you just pore a little more petrol on them because you don’t wont to be rude & let them suffer a long miserable death, so you be polite & douse them with a little more petrol.

man that is fkd, im sorry to hear about all ur rides.. i hope to have the same grin as all of u skyline owners, but at the same time, if i dont i cant see why someone wants to f**k up something like that.. i remember being at auto salon BNE in 03.. and some cnt's poured paint thinner all over some fella's car in the parking underneath thats a new form of low in my books.. that and badging, i remember laughing as i saw some kids get smashed by like a 20yr old who caught them trying to get his calai.. i hope you all get that same satisfaction :P

Jealousy and lack of respect. Thats all it comes down to.

The new generation of kids and teenagers these days are brought up without much parental input. There is no discipline anymore, its grounded and no t.v. Shit, i remember when i was a kid/teen if i stuffed up, old man would beat me down with a leather belt, wooden stick, cord, spanner or whatever was available at the time, and i learnt quickly what i did wrong, there was no such thing as a grounding. Being raised to respect other peoples stuff, and general law abiding was apart of the discipline. Kids these days have completely missed out on that part of life.

My old mans a mech and he loves his cars, first thing he taught me was a mans cars his pride and joy...never F U C K with a mans car...period!

New fun for the kids is dropping rocks off overpasses onto cars doing 100kmph. The rock landed right above my head and took the paint back to metal. If the fool had dropped the rock a millisecond earlier it would have come through the windscreen and hit me! Little pricks should be taken for a walk through a jail and have some of the more unsavoury characters give them a good............. talking to.

When I was younger in a friends car coming back from the coast, I remember vividly some youths dropping a beer bottle off the overpasses on the M1 around Wet and Wild and it hitting just near the side mirror. It was pretty scarey!

I always look at overpasses now... and get all scared when I see someone standing o nit.

post-7531-1129892664.jpgyep this shit sucks,,, my car got keyed ileft it for 10 minuits while i went into the shops in sydney i was that pissed of when i saw it i drove back to the place and kinda hid up the road waiting for the f**kers who did it or anyone else near my car. didnt get anyone but if i eva caught someone doing it to not only my car but anyones grob them hold them down and run your car key down their back as hard as you can. but thats just me....

I reckon you should go back to where it was done and then wait for the f**kers to try it again.

Keep a nice plank of wood ready... (with a couple of nails hammered in :D)

Campbell: Dude your car looks MEAN... there is no way i'd ever try drag you in that beast!

I feel sorry for you Warren, too many threads I have read recently were either:

a) My car has just been keyed!!

B) My car has just been badged!!

Makes me as paranoid as f**k now when it's parked anywhere but my house. Where did it happen??? If someone is stupid enough to do it you would hope someone would see them & catch them/beat seven shades of shit out of them for you.

VIGILANTE IS THE ONLY WAY.

    • Sounds more like what Brad said, that it's mainly transfer. What pad bed in procedure did you use, and did you replace/machine the rotors, or just swap pads?
    • The stutter is almost entirely in the pedal. I don't feel the brakes release and reapply as you would with ABS engaging but the pedal feels that way, without the brakes releasing. It only lasts for less than a second and the pedal is fine again. It's hard to explain, sorry.  I'll get under this weekend and just double check everything is tight. Fluid is at max where I left it.
    • What bedding in procedure did you use?   When you say stutter, what exactly do you mean? Like it feels like someone letting go of the brakes momentarily and regrabbing them again to get you to stop? Re-reading your post, and that is what it kind of makes me think you're explaining, like theres a little bit of a jolt, likely just as you're reaching a stop. I've only had this issue once. And if its caused by what caused mine, you will want to get the car up on stands again and check it over. Mine was a case of a caliper mounting bolt coming out and letting the caliper rotate on the other remaining bolt and gave play in a wheel as it came to a stop. But not every stop either!
    • Yeop... binned it   This will be a summary will not many pics atm and cbf  Fixed the samsonas - it was totally munched Put a new precision 7675 T4 on with proper split pulse mani Got to Sydney to get to car - drove to canberra to get racecar - drive back to sydney that night Next day all day at Plasmaman putting on new clamps cleaning some things up and adding another large engine oil cooler sitting at the rear above diffuser to keep things cooler Next day - Tuesday - on Dyno - killer wikid awesome pumped out really good numbers - more mid range and on lower boost levels Wednesday - first prac - all day again getting the suspension right - had to borrow front suspension again - out do a lap come in - out do a lap - in - what i had just couldnt handle the load at the more consistent higher speeds - got a lap in at the end of the day that was pretty reasonable  Put it this way that lap wouldve had me in 4th in Pro am for the whole event - with only 700 hp and used tyres Thurs first official prac day - lap out warm up - then entered a hotlap with above setting and 80% effort took corners 1,2,3 and into 4 car felt awesome -  rear came around out of nowhere bang into the wall near front on at whatever 140 kmph Done, over, gone Just one of those how did that happen apparently as all indications show nothing out of the ordinary Got to spend the rest of the time at the event like I hadnt done before - was actually Ok mainly as I had my family and my boy is 9 and got treated like a rockstar Long trip home, lost a trailer wheel in nowhere land, X5 airbag suspension gave up half way across nullabour and rode on bumps stops (its now completely fine) had to do a 19 hr drive day on day 3 as accommodation got screwed up so just had to keep driving till found a town with some Now to reassess - hopefully the motor and other things are OK but yet to be seen too. There is no easy fix there is no i'll just order that part and get it sent - we'll have a talk to people see what can happen and what the go is but at minimum its rebuild from scratch struts forward and alot of time effort and $ should and if I return and if but maybe/ when  I have the cage tied into the front strut towers - if I didnt have that things couldnt been worse you can say its just a front end but if you know what goes into these cars... you'll know what that actually means in reality   Car was very fast. Disappointing we just didnt get to show it Effort doesnt win you races though     Apparently this is motorsport !  
    • Thanks, will do that.  Thankfully they still feel great.
