Just got badged!!

Dirty F***ers!

I was at my GF's in Chipping Norton and was only away from my car between 6pm and 8:00pm and the the bastards hit me front, back and sides! They've jimmy'd the boot lock out and screwed the boot. The rest of the paint work looks ok...

I'd spent the whole day driving around the country side getting quotes on bits and pieces for my car and had made a few fixes to the point where I was extremely happy with the days achievments... and this goes and happens. I know they were there this morning and the car was only left unattended for about an hour while at Warringah mall having lunch. I'm positive they were there then!

Man! I am sooo dirty! :goddam:

I called the cops and asked if there was anything i could do about it and they pretty much said it wasn't worth their time... Making a report and taking it down to the station shortly... Won't be worth claiming on insurance, the excess will be heaps more than the cost to repair...

I'm also writing a letter to the units' manager requesting better security and to repair the flood light that is sitting there broken for months... Apparently there has been other occurences of this sort of stuff going on around the area.

How brave are they though!? only a couple of hours with people coming home all the time and driving into the lockup parking either side of the visitor parks...

Does anyone know a good place around Sydney (pref. West) to replace these parts. Nissan dealers and Justjap spring to mind. Any ball park figures of what I'd be looking at? at least a couple of hundred I'd presume for the front SII badge, 2x GT badges and new lock for boot.

Anyone else had this happen? Did a search through the forums and noticed that a guy in Perth had gone through the same thing and had posted. Presume that it's pretty frequent.

I'm off to make a nasty poster to stick to the wall where my car was parked... Feel a BIT better now i've got that off my chest. If anyone, by some very small chance, hears about anything to do with this, I'd be very appreciative... :box:

That really sucks. It makes me not want to take my car out from my garage. In fact, makes me want to put a brick wall up in front of it.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. In Surfers atm. This happened the night before I left, so it put a bit of a dampener on things. Will sus it out when i get home.

I'll be keeping a look out for that white van Brody. You live around the area?

There's 2 other skylines that live in the complex. That reminds me, there's skylines everywhere up here! Have especially seen a heap of done up R31's.....

Two in the bush! :)

Don't think the GF will let me and one won't fit in the suitcases as they are already filled with girly clothes etc. :)

    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
