I am sure some of you already know about this (and there might be other posts on this matter - but I haven't read any)

There is a group going across sydney apartments breaking in to cars and taking everything.

They hit the apartment across the road from me two weeks ago, 80+ cars had smashed windows and anything of value was taken from inside. This is from underground 'secure' car parks with video surveillance. I am pissed that management did not bother to tell us the place across the road had been done, and so had others in the area.

The main reason I rented this apartment was because of the security parking - 2 security gates to drive in/out of the carpark.

My apartment building was hit Thursday night, and at first count 57 cars were broken into (that came from the window repair duder who was the only one that is coming out on top from all of this - so there were probably more that haven't had them fixed yet).

The little bastards broke through a fire door and must have had someone on lookout, but they got a lot of stuff - mainly GPS units, cash, sunnies and the like.

The window bloke said it has been happening all across sydney lately and he has never been so busy (but I don't think he is behind it all haha)

I am really really lucky that I ordered the wrong cams for my car and because of that, it was not ready in time to be picked up last Thursday.

They seemed to know what they were doing as they smashed front and rear windows in cars with alarms so they didnt have to open doors to check front and back.

Has anyone else had the same thing happen near them recently?

Same thing happened to a mate of mine. "Security" car park in unit block, lots of windows smashed including his R33. Pennant hills area.

Sucks big time...

Apparently they have been doing apartments too - whilst people are home too. The cops said its getting really bad at the moment.

I am not bringing my car home from the workshop because of this, and have moved expensive items from my apartment.

I move out in 3 weeks just need to not get robbed before then - super paranoid

And yes I have insurance - but huge excess.

Those "security" car parks are not in the least bit secure. I've had my wheels stolen from a previous place I lived in.

I thought you would have left for Queensland by now Heath? Get going!

I am going as fast as I can, 17 days to go, can't wait.

Car wont be ready though, it will be trucked up later/

Same thing happened to me when I lived in Chippendale (Ultimo area) but that was about 8 months ago.. we got them on camera but cops couldnt do much.. they hit at 2.30am on saturday night..

These guys knew they were on tape, looked straight at the cameras and stuck their fingers up. Wearing hoodies and sunnies.

I had no idea it was this bad in Sydney.

Happened to a mate of mine not too long ago, maybe 3 weeks. "Secured" apartment underground parking got broken into and they got into 30+ cars. Nobody saw or heard anything...

This happened a week after he moved into the place.

Some f**k stick tried to break into the house accross from home last night but the dogs were enuf to wake us. He was last seen running his ass off.

They should be hung. Honest people are getting shafted by them and are most likely paying their dole check. They are diceing with death these wankers.

That's a bitch.. I'm about to move out into an apartment but I think I'm going to ensure I get an older place which has a single lockup garage so I can install some extra security measures of my own..

My car's fully insured but it's all about the hassle.. I don't want to have to go through the whole process of getting the car fixed just because some scumbags decided they like my stereo system enough to steal it

Happened at my work maybe a month and a bit ago they just smashed windows and took nothing really valuable at all just mainly causing damage. My mate was on duty he went down there and attempeted to take him down but was threaened if he came any closer he would f**king stab him. He said he looked like a junky off the street chased him all the way through the city while on the phone to police biut not getting to close as he didnt wana get stabbed.

Happened when a resident came home and he snuck under the security gate as it was almost closed.

Our apartment block got hit last night.. They hit the main garage and the one near the lifts.. They must of missed the GTR thank god becuase it was parked behind a ute. Apparently they took one of the buzzers from one of the cars.. It's a "secure car park" too..

Someone needs to stop this asap!

If they have a buzzer, they'll be back. Get the cars out ASAP

      R34 "maintenance reminder lights" and mysterious voice

      By thatjawncrazy · Posted

      who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!

      Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?

      Shoota's R33 GT-R RB30/26

      By Shoota_77 · Posted

      Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
