When I first moved into the place im at now, our garages were getting broken into on a regular basis. The only thing i was worried bout was them scratching my kid parked down there, so now, $90 later, if the door is even remotely jarred open it trips a silent alarm, waking or alerting me upstairs so I can stroll down and dish out some real street justice.

Happened once, found a guy snooping downstairs, flashed my wallet badge and asked him for ID, stoopid prick gave me everything I needed to know about him too! Dont know whether it was the badge or an accompnaying piece of equipment, but we have had no problems ever since!!!!!!!

A friend of mine who also lives in the same block of units as me in the east of sydney had his s15 Silvia (import 200sx) stolen during last week from our "secure parking". Our car spaces are next to each other about 50m from the main gate to the apartment parking, so its a fair bit awa from the street. Anyway my friend had lost his licence about 2 weeks earlier so the car had had its starter motor taken out for repairs as long as a few other things. The car was totally undrivable. So after having a little go at my skyline they decided to take the s15. Long story cut short. They must have broken in and pushed the car to the entrance of the units with tow truck waiting. Turns out its the 4th car stolen from the car park. Cops still havent even come out to look/interview people. The car was found 3 days later stripped. No insurance either (stupid).

Car theives are the scum of the earth. Police dont seem to take it to seriously either.

  • 1 month later...
  • 2 weeks later...

like I have said before, this isn't evident of all NSW police and I hate making generalisations but...

what is easier, cruise the streets and defect hassle young guys with done up cars (some deserve it), make the government some money from defects

or

setup operations to stop car thieves or bother to try and stop them?

I guess thats kind of a coincidence. Same guys at it for who knows how long and probably will continue until caught. What suprised me was that there were 3 ppl watching them and they didnt give a damn. Just kept on going until 1 of the witnesses yelled out. And I was parked under a street lamp across where all the bus stops are with ppl walking past continously. Never been to strathfield since ....... kind of sad really ... oh well at least we know it was a white old civic 1980's with some zorst ... you guys can watch out for that car ... btw guys inside were asian

If I was a cop, I'd be a lot more excited and proud about being tactical and strategically catching actual criminals - especially these obvious repeat offenders who would be making absolute fools out of the local police in each of those areas.

Otherwise I would have to consider myself nothing but a lowly traffic cop issuing infringements to nobodies.

Whats better ??

Scenario 1:

"Honey I'm home - yeap fined 3 more hoons for having pod filters tonight......nah nah pod filter.....P-O-D F-I-L-T-E-R ??.....Oh its a different type of air cleaner that......Honey - where are you goin ? You're goin to watch Big Brother ? Oh ok I'll wait till commercial to explain what that is and why its a big deal to me that I have to remain excited to come home and tell you about......Oh look...they evicted Vincent......Didn't you like him babe ??.....Honey ??? ...Hello ??"

OR

"Honey I'm home - yeap me and the boyz finally cracked that skyline thieving ring......yeah the ones with the cool round tail lights.......we got em babe.......what ?? you wanna have an early night AGAIN ?? oh ok honey......you're right...I did earn it....but take it easy with me - I've gotta get up at 6am and do it all over again.....yeap a good cop knows he can't rest while there's more out there..."

PuppaDuck, that story is funny because it's true! Well the first story is true, the second story as Majanal says, only happens in the movies. And even then in the movies doesn't the car thief get let off? (Gone in 60 seconds).

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
