Came out after work in town to find my Skyline had the handle popped, dash cowling torn off, ignition barrel on the ground and wires flopping about.

Fortunately it was still there but it certainly does f*ck me off that you can't have anything decent and not have to worry about it all the time. I usually borrow the missus' car when i know i have to leave it places but seriously does make you wonder about the scum out there. I really hope somebody other than the 5 0 catch the people out there who are doing this as they need to be taught a good old fashioned lesson.........

Hopefully there's not more stories like this but with plenty of scumbags out there it wont be im sure

Damn dude sorry to hear, what time did it happen? and how did you get it home? Crap there really must be some complete D#$ks out there targeting Skylines, Thats it mine only leaving home when i'll be with it all the time! Might pay for everyone to keep an eye on sus people out the front of thier house in case they are finding out daily patterns.

Oh and i've said it before, leave the Line locked up at home and drive something like this..........http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=137059 It might not be anywhere as good as driving the Line but hey, it only takes them once to take your car!

Fark....i know mine was stolen, currently with insurance assessor. Hope that these guys get caught as obviously someone has developed a way to easily get through the skylines door locks. Out of curiousity where was this abouts? as i know down here at Morphettville and Edwardstown they have been targeting all forms of imports in the last two weeks!

It was on the outskirts of town, got an immobiliser and alarm but really who pays too much attention when alarms go off these days. It's sad times when you cant even leave your car somewhere without stressing constantly. I'll be on the bus and once it's fixed will debate whether it's even worth all the hassles of keeping it. Hopefully can convince the old boy he needs another car in the stable!

just get like alarm/immob. Its the first thing i did after i got my car.

i was at a mates place one night and there were 5 cars parked out the front, my 32 and 4 other average cars. all of them got broken into except mine, as they saw the flashy light and just didnt wanna risk it.

so it pays to get an alarm and at least 2 immob installed.

after reading all this theft stuff im thinkin of geting the removable steering wheel thingy.. just for exta extra security

    • Only reason I started replacing hoses was I went for a short drive to the shop the other day and finished shopping and started the car and started to drive off and could see a big trail of fuel in the rear view mirror. Parked up and found the bottom hose to the fuel filter had busted. Lucky I was near a car part store and was able to get a replacement hose and back on the road. But got me thinking I had owned that car for around 20 years and was all original fuel hoses so probably time to replace all of the fuel hoses. Was pretty lucky it went where it did.
    • A few kg falling from a few feet is enough to move parts of your skull inwards into your brain Also, there's always news about people getting crushed, and occasionally killed, working under cars Be safe is your endeavours 
    • I was just going to replace the fuel line and keep the stock one, but they do look pretty nice lol.
    • Are you going to delete the stock damper or are you just replacing the fuel lines and keeping the stock damper?  There are also options for sexy ones if the stock one is too ugly for you lol -  https://www.radiumauto.com/Fuel-Pulse-Damper-Inline-Kits-P751.aspx or https://www.radiumauto.com/Fuel-Pulse-Damper-Direct-Mount-Kits-P759.aspx So sexy. 
    • I think you guys are right. The only reason I thought it was a restrictor was I had seen the same yellow band on the r32 boost restrictor. Will just replace with a standard fuel hose. Thank you for your speedy replies. I'm sure I'll have many other silly questions.
