now ive had a turbo gtr/gtr for the last 4 years

never had a problem before

but in the last two weeks it has been busted into twice. i live in a very quiet part of padsow that noone ever comes down so they obviously have been checking the car out for a while.

now last night i cought them in the act (over at a mates place)

they couldnt get it started and left

so i called the cops

then the brains came back with 4 mates in a civic.. they scoped the car out for a bit did a few drivebys. i called the cops again

they were heading to the car so ive come out (not very smart) and they did the bolt. no point chassing i had about 12 beers

cops turn up 1 minute later and go hunting

cops say what car was it

i say skyline and they finsih the sentance "GTR"

anyway i now need a new key barrel and lock and new turbo timer

if only i had a gun

this is the only time the car has been outside in its life and it was in a pivate parking spot at a mates place in abbortsford

Well,

It seems like ure in a loose/loose position atm. Expect them to come back, so it might be time to revise ure alarm setup and drop something new in there, like a tracka perhaps?

Might also be a good idea to drop ure baby into storage for a month or 2. Sure its a pain, but if they get to ure car and can't tax it, they might be inclined to key it etc.

Dan I was thinking the same thing..........

He he - yeah Pete - I'll swap you for mine - Cheaper insurance, Not as old, maybe less milage, less hassle, more sideways action and give a GTR a good run for it's money.......:):P

I cringe when I hear of this stuff now. It just sucks to know that you can't leave your valuables anywhere... This is the worst thing about owning such a schmick car. Perhaps you should consider mounting a bull bar to the gtr and go hunting for the little bastards... :headshot:

Fatz, sounds like you need to do what i have done. Go to rebel sport and buy yourself an alloy baseball bat and keep it in your house.

Let this be a warning to anyone i find that should not be there. I have had enough from the crap job that the police do.

Like the sign says “Person found here at night, will be found here in the morning” (with a little picture of a gun)

Haha. I like that one! want to get something like that for mine...

I'd love to come up with some ingenius anti-theft device. One of the guys from work used to have a motion activated webcam setup out the front with sensor lights. That worked well, but you really need something that's going to deter them immediately.

    • Best practice for any track day should be Bleed brake fluid, inspect rotors and pads maybe even flip pads if they are prone to tapering.  Quality pad (project mu, endless, hawk, winmax, ap), Good high carbon content rotor (dba4000/5000, Ap, projectmu), Quality fluid, Good air supply over the rotor and caliper are all required for best performance at a track day no matter the car.  Even the bedding in of the pad and rotor is key to longevity. I've seen so many rotors destroyed on their first track day due to it. 
    • The hardcore tracks1ut guys I know would flush their brake fluid every 6 to 12 months depending on the amount of track work they did. Unlike most of us SAU guys, probably flush it once a decade 🥲
    • Now that these are NLA, I suspect the answer is going to be to 3D print the plastic bit and glue on some felt or something to replace the brush. I have one or two of them (new) in the shed to go onto the car at some point. I could put some effort into measuring them up and could attempt to draw up the printed part in FreeCAD, if there is interest.
    • Hey team, the R32 ones look different to the R33 and 200SX ones. Also they're sold out on Amayama, looks like some dealer cleaned up the stock.
