Hey Everyone,

On Saturday night around 2am someone decided they were going to try and steal my GTR, fortunately I had an Alarm system so they bolted but it is aside the point.

As most of you are probably aware this is the second time in a few months that someone has tried to steal my cars and several months before that it happened as well so this is the Third time someone has tried to pinch my cars :blink:

I am sharing this with all of you so if you HAVEN'T got an alarm system, go buy one, it could save your car or the property inside of it that you don't want stolen!!!

If you see any kids roaming the streets late at night, just call security / police and get them to patrol the area, they might not be up to anything dodgy but you can never be too sure, they could be the culprits!!!

Also - when driving in Atwell, DON'T be a dickhead and fang it up the streets (i.e. Tapper Road). The cops have actually rocked up to my house several times lately (the neighbours are obviously getting annoyed) and have not only confronted me and asked me where I have been and whether my car was still hot or not but they have also been monitoring my driving trips to the extent of, When I leave for work, when I get home from work and the route I take. I would hate to see anyone get pinged in an off chance that someone has complained about a similar car to yours and the cops but their finger on you.

Oh and one final thing, FYI - there are over 30 police officers living in Atwell so I don't think you'd want to piss them off either!

I think that's all I had to say!

Cheers

Do you have a shed or undercover area that you could store you car in or is it parked on your driveway?

Nah its kept in the Carport! I think I'll have to start parking my Astra in front of it again, but that's such an inconvenience so move it there every night and then move it again in the morning.

If it saves a GTR being stolen then I personally wouldn't see it as an inconvenience :D You haven't had the car that long either, so protect it at all costs.... someone is watching your place :blink:

ah so your one of the hoons they mentioned they are following on the news? unlucky to be labelled like that :blink:

Yeah but I don't know why I'm being followed hey... its weird. I mean yeah, who doesn't give their car shit and as for Tapper Road that I mentioned, every single car speeds down that street at over 30kms over the limit so I think you'd have to be pretty unlucky to get fined there!

Damnit I'm not a hoon!!! (well only in industrial open areas.... hahaha kidding!)

Invest in a keypad immobiliser alarm system, and have it hidden from view. That's what I had in my GTR. Even if theives broke in and took your keys, they won't be moving very far. The keypad was attached to my fuel pump, so you could start the car but it would stall a couple seconds later.

When you do own performance cars such as GTRs, HSVs etc you really do need to put them in a locked up garage. I would never own a performance car if I knew I couldn't secure it properly.

Jess, I would also tell the cops sfa about what you do, where you have been, other personal infomation etc Goes for anyone else here. Tell them to **** off and send you a summons if they want to start charging you with something.

If they've been trying to steal the GTR 3 times already with no luck, think they'll think smarter and go thru the house next time and look for the keys.

best to just chuck the GTR undercover and keep the Astra outside.

too many nice cars are getting stolen these days.

Subaru WRX with license plate got stolen with plates [KEKEKE], was pure luck someone found it at the traino.

Jess, that sound bad. Parking the daily in behind the Line sounds like a start. Up grade the alarm sounds like a plan...but also make sure your insurance is paid up. This Police harassment makes me think someone has put you on "the hoon list". If you can carry off the stand up citizen role go and have a word with the duty sergeant and give him WTF? No threats but more of the hey I'm a good person cut me a break would you.

Failing that move to an area with less cops lol

+1 for keypad alarm, my bro had that in his old STI, keys are useless without the pin. If I had to park mine outside/not in a garage I'd want the same thing.

JOONDALUP, yes i live next to the police academy, but there are Nerver police in Joondalup, its all show. :D

They don't even have their police station running because of that fire attack :(

JOONDALUP, yes i live next to the police academy, but there are Nerver police in Joondalup, its all show. :(

lol there are a few, they drive unmarked ford territories and ve's, but the area is usually patrolled by security, they all sit down at neil hawkins park and eat donuts waiting for idiots from gbt and dirty dusk to make trouble :D

man seems like atwell just keeps getting dodgier and dodgier? lol my car got mega keyd when i parked it outside a primary school there came back kids were gone car was keyd :? so yeah def dodgy area i guess but theres a fair bit of lines over at atwell danno prob unlucky but sky ryan parks his car ouside and never gets any trouble?

    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
