Sigh, well somone smashed the window on my baby tonight in the work carpark :) but they didnt take anything or go through anything so i assume the alarm scared them off, wouldnt suprise me if it was some pokie fiend looking for coin. Happened in the last 45mins a(around 12:30)of work as i checked on it a few times before then.

Exact same thing happened to me about a month ago.

Broad daylight on a friday afternoon in my work carpark in a very nearby suburb to where yours happened.

Pager alarm went off, and by the time I got downstairs was time enough for them to get back into their stolen (according to police) maroon r32 (I took the rego plate details), which I saw leaving the scene in a very suspisious manner.

I got a new window from import spares (sleaford rd, windsor gardens) for $110, and fitted it myself.

It pays to ring around, as prices varied to double what I ended up paying.

Not a hard job, but also not much skin left on my knuckles afterwards.

Worst part is that there seems no way of easing this spate of import break-ins.

Police say that they have caught the people responsible, and then guess what.....

Sorry to hear that mate, I can empathise, Deluxe and I were recently victims too literally in our own backyard in the same area. We got off with damaged doors.

Damn this stupid shit!!

Don't leave your cars in that area people! i remember seeing a silver/white(it was night time) 32 follow me into my street and almost watch me reverse into my driveway! I just thought it might have been one of you guys coming to say "Bloody G'Day" but when i got out of my car, the 32 took off slowly! I did put it up into the spotted section but with no reply, so now after reading this i thing they either have lines themselves or steal them to get to another one!

So if there is some scetchy suss c#$t in a Skyline checking you out more than what he/she should be, go smash thier heads in and go from there.....lol

    • The steering wheel on my 97 s3 gtr is a little bit worn out, so im on the hunt for something mint. I notice that this type of steering wheel is on several other nissan's of the era.  Does anyone know if their all identical, or are there slight differences? I feel like gtr tax applies to anyone selling one, but if it comes from any other car the price is much less, even though its the same design.  Chat gpt says the material for the gtr is slightly different and it says gtr on the wheel, but every pic ive seen it just says nissan. 
    • I might have to say it.
    • Ahh... it's an early RE5R01A box, that means the pinouts I gave are wrong (they were for the RE4R01A 4-speed box)... I'll have to dig around in my docs to see if I've got that schematic (they used the same gearbox plug, with the vacant pin wired to the direct drive clutch solenoid)...prolly hidden away in a supplement somewhere... ...there were 3 variants of the RE5R01A ~ this early schema was what we called the 'dumb' 5 speed ; it's what jatco called a 'medium duty' box, with torque holding up roughly ~200ft/lbs or so, which was good for NA from RB20/25DE and up to around VG30 output spec. With the RB25DET (and VG33/35 mills), the only options they had was the 4-speed 4AX00 box, which had been beefed up to handle the extra torque (primarily for the VG35, but it also suited the RB25DET mill and others)...and the RE4R03 box in large 4WDs a lot of the time... ...the next variant of 5-speed was redesigned, stronger, and 'smart'...first ones had external TCU with internal (on valvebody) Shift Control Unit, pressure switches, and 2 x TSS...and the last ones had internal TCU+SCU setup, with CANbus control etc etc. @DRoc81 On the RHS of the box towards the rear, there should be a stamped silver ID tag -- what's the model number? Oh...and with the early 5-speeds, the torque converter control solenoid assembly should be replaced as well (31940-60X00)...it's a bit Murphy's Law ....if one has failed, bet on the rest not being far behind ...
