If insurance was going on the next day, it would have been covered.

(This is why they issue "cover notes") :P

Stating that he is an ungrateful prick because he didn't give two hoots about the large sum of money that his parents forked out to buy this vehicle isn't being "harsh" or "rude", it was just a basic observation.

If he cared about his parents investment, he would have insured it (3rd party at minimum), or at least made sure that it had adequate theft protection.

terrorists killers and middle east whackoz..

or something like that title..

great dvd..

DVD as in a movie? this site i came across had some pretty nasty clips. had one with a guy gettin his head cut off while he was still alive. if your talking about a DVD with all these nasty clips compiled onto it, thats pretty disturbing! :dry:

Insured or not, that car was destined to go. They'd cased the place previously and knew the operation of the "security door".

How many members have given their car to a performance tuning shop, panel shop, CD installer, alarm installer, insurance agent etc etc without any thought that one of their employees is on the take.

Guys you should always be wary of who knows where your car lives. Does the CD installer REALLY need to know your address or could he just have your mobile number...?

Just read that thread. Protecting Your Car And Yourself.

Gah, brazen thieves indeed. My house has been broken into while I was asleep shortly after I bought my R33. Nothing was stolen. But it was obvious they were searching for my keys to steal my car. My mum's bag was found outside, emptied. Nothing missing at all. I was so paranoid after that. Scared to walk around the house at night!

I think the main point is here is that it's a high performance car and it has been stolen with relative ease..the fact it's uninsured and the rest is irrelevent. what we should do as a group is try to prevent the need and market for these guys to sell off the parts. if ur picking up some bargin performance bits..wheels turbos, seats stero ect queston the seller and guys engrave ur parts,... property of...on the back off ur stero, rims maybe talk to the forum mods to set up something for car theft victums to discribe there product and what they engraved and where..at the end of the day i don't want anyone to touch my car but if they do lets just say i hope the cops find them before i do

If people really want something, I dont think it really matters how much security or whatever other preventitive measures you may have in place, they will find a way. I mean you hear stories all the time, for instance (and this has nothing to do with nice cars but still) I've heard stories where there has been a bobcat loaded into a container and all the tools etc, and locked up for the evening. The workers came back the next day to find the container gone. And this was done on the side of a freeway. There is always cars on a freeway. You would think someone would have seen something.

Somebody probably did see it. The thing is though, these days when you see someone picking up an object whether it be a shipping container or opening up a car door in the car park etc, you automatically assume its theirs. No one wants to go up to someone and say, "excuse me but is that your car your stepping into or are you stealing it?". It would just be rude to that to someone because the chances are it is probably theirs.

Honestly if you saw a bunch of guys with a truck on the side of a road picking up a shipping container, if they're wearing the reflective vests then it would look pretty legit that it's their job to pick it up. It wouldn't even cross my mind to think that they're not in the right to take it if i was driving past. The same thing can happen with cars.

Just my opinion....

A couple of years I remember hearing a story about this import car yard in Auburn (just down from Maccas).

It was just after the first Fast and Furious movie came out. The yard had a bunch of GT-Rs and Supra RZs parked out on the edge of the yard so people driving by at night could see the hotness.

Apparently some guys rocked up with a B-double and a crane. Rather than breaking down the gates (which looked trivial to pull down if you had a vehicle with the torque of a semi trailer, but perhaps they had shock sensors or other alarms) they hoisted the cars over the fence and onto the back of the truck.

Needless to say after that they parked all the nice cars up the back every night, and put all the S13 NA's and Familia Turbos at the front of the yard after that.

    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything 
    • Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues 
    • Yes I as well would like to find out where I could get some of the seat material with the red or blue small squares in it
