Yesterday, while my car was parked at Glen Iris station, some pathetic excuse for a human being broke into the car, smashed the ignition lock, so the car is totally undriveable. Fortunately the column locking pin came out, so at least the car is steerable.

$132 to get the car towed home! $300 plus for a new ignition lock. God knows how much to get the barrel re-jigged so I can use the same key. Then a new alarm (the battery was disconected, and now the alarm doesn't quite work properly, although does lock / unlock the doors).

So if you spot someone with severe hearing problem - the Jaycar screecher went off on him LOL (110dB at 2kHz!) - that will probably be the useless SOB.

If the police ever catch him, I'm going to hang, draw and quarter the bastard. Then I'll tar and feather him. Then I'll pull each of his teeth (no anesthetic!). And then I'm going to get nasty!.

not good!

I live in that area, not good at all...

I would love to catch some punk kid in the act!

one of the big problems with train station carparks is the iced out junkies can ride around on the trains all day hopping on and off at different stations/carparks to bust into cars, you're way better off parking a few hundred metres away and walking to the station from a quiet street, or, drive to work ;)

sorry to hear about that

theres a locksmith near the victoria market who recodes your barrel for $50 .. there pretty damn good... there located opposite the lexus dealership near vic market. ive used them b4 and was going to use them to recode all my key barrels when some1 stole my keys from a mechanic whom shall remain nameless. Found it a lil cheaper to go 2 a wreckers who swapped all the barrels plus a new key and a lil cash adjustment

I live like 200m from Glen Iris station and my car is mostly parked outside. Never had a problem. All I could recommend is don't park in the actual station carpark where scum patrol looking for cars to break into. Instead just park in a side street and you should be fine. Unfortunate to hear though.

Yer train station car parks are a big no go. Even though some have cameras they're still bad.

Sorry to hear though :bunny:

On closer inspection, it would seem the SOB was actually after the car.

Bloody police were useless. The SOB left the scissors he used to pop the door lock. Thought they might be good for fingerprints, but copper wouldn't even try.

I've got a new ignition lock, but it looks wrong - has an extra set of wires on the barrel.

Hopefully when it gets all back together, it will be bulletproof.

personally car theft is lame... No respect for people who enjoy breaking harts of hard working people...

I work hard for my car... and everything in it.. anyone caught trying to damage it or steal it better call the police them self.

its a pitty that police cant really help out in situation like this..

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
