Maybe we should actually set a car up to be flogged with a tracking system & see where they actually take the thing to. Then when they get to the destination the real party starts with a 000 call......

Yeh and the 000 call will be them after we go at them with fists of glory!

I hate it when they smash a window and steal a hole load of crap all and you gotta fork out for the window because it's not worth more than the excess on the insurance!

I was going to go that far, but decided to restrain myself. Fists of glory would only be the begining for those MOFO in the idea world

Love that security system Madaz, I want one

Mum found this in our local messenger " A panorama man tried to chase a thief who stole his car from his driveway on daniels st on thursday, october 5 at about 4.30. The driver did a u-turn and drove back towards the victim, who was forced to hide behind a tree. The driver then left the scene. Police are still looking for the stolen Nissan Skyline sedan."

How scary is that

That was a friend of mine......... It was a white auto 4 door R32, there was another 4 door 32 gts4 and a laurel in the driveway too, his was obviously the first one!

^^ The is the reason guns should be legalised in this country. I bet if the situation was reversed and theif got run over by the owner, it'd be the owner in jail/charged.
bad luck, sincerely.

BTW - you cant assult a thief, as then you end up in more serious charges.

sorry i have to dissagree about the guns thing

i can't be stuffed going through my law books but i'm pretty sure there are home owners rights in our legal system! you are allowed to defend yourselves if danger is opposed to you! but chasing after the thief and assualting them when you weren't under any threat! well it's plain and simple assualt and puts you on the same level as the thief!

and yeah i don't agree with legalising guns! if you can get one so can the thief!

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
