And whilst kicking them, you'll be ringing me to come kick the shit out of them also!

Was thinking of ringing the messenger in my area(Unley/Parkside) and getting a write up about the break ins in our area, cos now were upto at least 5 in the last month! was gonna put in there something like "no disrespect to the Police, BUT we Skyline owners will have to take things into our own hands if this doesn't stop" I'll see how we go, still thinking about it!!

I'm even thinking of ringing the cops and trying to work with them on using a/my car as bait and go undercover with them, I'm sure they are aware of the amount of calls with attempted or stolen Skylines of recent past!!

Maybe it should go into every messenger and not just the Port Adelaide Messenger like before!

Did you report it to the Police?

Might seem minor but if they are aware they can deploy the appropriate resources as the penninsula is quite a hotspot for motor vehicle crime.

you don't need to be specific, but what area of north haven, in the marina area or the older area's that were built in the 70's. i live near the foodland so i think i'll be keeping a close eye on mine. arm up people, we need to fix this problem ourselves, cops are useless.

hey brittz

the pager alarm is an alarm that when it is set off it lets your pager know so it beeps at you my bf has one on his car and the pager can be set off up to 500meters away. It has a little screen on it with a pic of a car too haha it tells you whats happening if the cars been hit or theres a door open etc.

Its definatly worth the money some of them come with remote start so you can warm your car up etc.

If you want to get a quote go to Angs audio shop on north east road. it cost my bf $850 thats the top of the line one too mates rates haha.

Go in and talk to ang tell him lauren aka pinkbits sent you down there he should fix you up

my pager is top of the line, pager, remote start, turbo timer, internal siren, 4 point immobilizer, all these gizmos n shit. straight line coverage of 3km. definetly recommend.

I will report it tomorrow, didn't think it was worth it but hey, if enough people report it then maybe they might take more notice. I live on delfin island with the car locked away under a carport majority of the time so im not stressed too much and the car's always in my sights at work anyways but you never know when they'll strike.

alarm up people!!

im worried for when i get my license back and my car comes out of the back shed of the old mans joint, because i currently live in a block of town houses...

I have an immobiliser and Alarm, but not one of these pager items.

i'm just going to have to keep a good ear out at all times, especially sleeping upstairs. Mind you, it wouldnt be easy for a thief to get away with the 4 point turns you need to perform to get out of my parking spot up the driveway.

Hopefully if it did happen, straight outside to catch the c*&^ for a few slaps then hostage straight in the back shed gaffer taped to a chair. then invite all my mates around for BYO yellow pages interrogation and torture

      I need more than help to finish my R33

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't use that manifold. Please don't use that manifold. Sunk cost fallacy is not worth the later pain. None of these will be relevant to the change that will come from the different turbo and manifold. As in, the effect of the exhaust will be nil, regardless of what else is changed. And all the cam and fuel system stuff is not changing either way, so has no effect. The turbo and manifold (and to a small extent the wastegate)....big change.

      Just wanted to say thank you for your input   my man (lead mechanic by trade) and I have done a heap of work as you can imagine just to make the hot side work with the dump pipe, stupid massive intake on turbo, trying to get the waste gate on was not fun.  I’m kinda getting to the point where I don’t know if I try and make this work and not throw all this cash and time away or do I scrap the lot and start again? the Apexi I’ve got was tuned for a few slight differences:   Tomei pon cams (mine are stock neo) Turbo smart 38mm external waste gate (mines 45mm replumbed) with stainless screamer pipe  3inch turbo back exhaust with high flow cat Sard 800cc top feed injectors Sard adjustable fuel pressure reg

      My BMW 335i

      Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i.

      Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.

      Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
