There's just too much theft going on in Sydney and probably the rest of Australia. Ive just read DON91E's thread on the theft of his 328i BMW, also i have just heard about the theft of a GTR and BMW in the one incident earlier this morning.... What the hell is going on??

Two stories for you:

1) a good mate of mine had his very special R32 GTST stolen from his work roughly 2mths ago - it has completely disappeared without a trace.

2) another close friend of mine and her b/f who was a passenger at the time were carjacked(!) at gunpoint(!!!!!) for her sh#tbox 1980s Corolla outside Westmead Hospital a month ago. Carjacking is one thing but with guns??? At a hospital??? Come the f#ck on??

The world has gone completely nuts - who the hell are we letting into the country??

Whoever does this crap, most probably were born and bred here.

The laws don't deter these people. Australia is a great place to sell drugs, raught the system (the polies do it themselves) and other general crime.

If your poor and you steal to feed your family, then I can sympathise. But lets face it, in Australia no ones's poor.

So, if it was up to me, I'd make the penalty very severe.

I'm moving back to Sydney and my premium is going up just over $1000. Not happy.

oz.

My BF's car was stolen last night :D

there are too many ppl out there without ANY sense of right or wrong.

An unbelievable story, but i heard yesterday that someone here in Canberra was packing up his car to evacuate from the fires....and someone stole it. It was a Mazda 626, and probably only contained sentimental stuff that he wanted to take with him....and some low-life **** stole it from his driveway.

Well... that sort of stuff don't happen in melbourne much but it sounds bad up there. Its been a while since i've heard of anybody I knows car been stolen. Lowest crime rate per head of population. Move down here and problems solved :P

thats perth man ur in the wrong state still hehe

and Shell thats low stealing the car while the guy was preparing to evacuate.

I was listening to Nova (96.9 for Syd People) one night. They had the bloke on who complies all the crime data for NSW.

I may not be 100%, but at least 90% right in my figures here :

Your 7 times more likely to have your car stolen in Sydney then compared to NYC and London

Your 4 times more likely to have your house broken in Sydney then NYC or London

Your 2 times less likely to be effected but volient street crime in Sydney then NYC or London

And I think he said both London and NYC had downturns in Crime compared to Sydney rising.

Again, our laws and policing of them at the moment is a joke. I don't care if the offenders are white, black, arab, jewish, male, gay, or dead...the offenders must be brought to justice.

This has too stop somewhere.

Bring the troops back from the gulf and get them to fight the war at home!!!!!

And guess what, if you try and defend your self....well we all know who gets fu(ked up then don't we:mad: :P:(:D

Yeah but some countries have better ways of controlling the crime (ie. UK vs Australia).

We need to be so much more strict over here in our sentencing etc. The fact that criminals get off lightly is constantly in the newspaper, but does anything ever get done about it?

I doubt it because the more people they send to jail .. which means more money spent on keeping the prisoners in there.

And if it costs money, they won't want to do it.

Yeah too many dodgey people that have come here on fake passports or have overstayed their VISA and our authorities are too slack to track them down. They therefore cannot get legitimate jobs here so they have to steal to get their money.

And while im on the topic all these people that come here and wanna challenge our way of life F#CK YOU!!!! If you dont like the way the cookie crumbles here, get the f#ck out of our country.

All you good people that like our way of life - welcome, enjoy your stay and keep your foot to the floor.

the problem is the government is too easy on people, sentencing is pathetic and the legal system is grossly angled towards revenue raising.

race a car at the lights, 2000 in fines + court costs + storage costs + loss of license + impound cars for 3 months first time

steal a car, get off first time with community service

the police are too busy doing defects at rbts to stop car theft or investigate it.

Guest JUNpowerYo!

I admit the situation could be better, but lets count our many blessings...in my other board www.honda-tech.com someone's ride gets pinched every day...sumtimes 3 to 5!!!!! Im from melbourne so i feel good 'bout moding my car...but if i lived in sydney I would honestly feel paranoid...not trying to offend anyone, just my $.02

    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
    • Hey everyone! Im so grateful to be apart of this community and ill do my best to be apart of this. Firstly, i'm not disclosing my real name due to in real life circumstances surrounding my privacy and public image (sorry lol) Secondly, The only thing personal I am willing to share is that I'm from Sydney and a descendant of one of Sydneys largest mortgage firms. I got gifted my first ever car, a 2022 Porsche Cayenne and I love it to death. Ive been driving it for about 5 or 6 months now and honestly Im so grateful for my parents for gifting me this vehicle. However recently I've been working my ass off to afford my second car (which I need help deciding soooooo community help me out please?). Once decided, im planning to try modify it myself. Recent I've been thinking about getting a Skyline, particularly a 25GT or GT-V, yes I know overrated as hell, but I'm also considering a Chaser which I recently came to love. However my dream is to one day own a 180SX (So hard to find clean versions and im not really into importing).  Lastly before I send this off, I want to apologize if I sound tacky or pretentious. I try not to and want to genuinely learn from everyone and anyone. (Im no expert in this area) Thanks for reading!
