I do not senseless hoon. I spend lots of my wage on going to Open practice day to have my fun and I would have to say most of the neighbours love me car (they even don't mind the exhaust sound and we have a good relationship).

I found out today from police that there were 8 other cases within my neighbourhood. It appears some kid has decided to go on a random destruction spree. He is 'tagging' his damage by leaving the brick behind.

i only remeber hours ago reading your post about the valve caps

sorry to see this man

this happens way to much.

people are just sad, they get a kick out of it for 2 minutes and forget about it the next day but the people it happens to never forget about it, especially when there bank balance comes in the mail and there a -300 for a window fitting.

School holidays might have something to do with this. Had a diff rolled out of a factory yard in to the middle of the road sometime over night.

Also had my SSR valve caps stolen. That pissed me off more than you'd expect... such a pain in the ass and they only took 3.

I had two windows smashed last year about 6 months apart.

One in Elwood with a beer bottle - I heard them do it - alarm went off but by the time I was out there they were gone. Didn't stop me from driving around for the next halfa. Same thing I was being lazy not parking it around the back.

Other in Toorak - same window looked like they punched it idiots hope they broke their hand.

Never leaving my cars in the street ever again - got a garage again finally.

in my old skyline me and my mates were parked and just chatting and some blokes with water pistols came past squirting ours cars. it was night time we had just washed them and we thought it was just water. but no....it was break fluid so when we went to wash it off our paint came off to we drove around for 3 hours trying to find these f**k wits does not help being in the hoon captal of aus "bendigo" it suxed this was years ago but i hate jelous scum bags lucky one of my mates was a painter who sprayed our cars for cheap it was only on my bonnet luckly...

Damn that sucks. Not much can be done about them except thinking about how much their lives must blow that they need to get entertainment from damaging other people's cars.

I think the moral is to own/use a garage before you buy a nice car.

what I don't understand is why people do the stuff to skylines...I mean surely if you're jealous of a ride there are more 'envious' cars to own.

I mean strictly speaking price wise there's much more expensive gear out there like the european cars that I don't believe cop as much flack. Even a new HSV/FPV is going to cost more than most skylines so why bother?

Those cars are hardly ever parked outside at night.

'Tag' him in the head with a brick.

ROFL :blush:

Bastards. Should've grabbed the pistols and squirted it in their face.

is your car loud? could be annoyed neighbours or something i'd hate to be my neighbours, myself a n/a r33 with a droney loud exhaust on cold starts and my brother with a gtst with a massive 3.5" exhaust and he warms it up for like 3 minutes in the morning LOL

LOL I hear that man. Hamish and I live in a group of 4 townhouses with another 4 townhouses in close proximity next door. 2 skylines with 3in exhaust and decats, starting every morning would do your head in.

question still needs to be asked:

So do you drive like a dickhead, and, being a conspicuous car (and number plate), you've pissed someone off? Be honest here.

while there are "random acts of vandalism", there are many more provoked ones...

still feel for you though.

it was Marcus!!! :thumbsup:

"take him! he's the one that wronged you!" :3some:

sux teh balls mate ;)

oh and warming your car up for 3 mins = useless

nahh.. Ben is pretty good from what i see. he puts on his silencer before starting his car so he doesnt annoy the neighbours and takes it off when out. thats good neighbour hahah.. i start up my silvia in the morning and the vibration sets off skyline alarm so i have to unlock skyline before starting silvia then lock it when i leave... now that would get annoying hearing in the morning.. but all my neighbours have noisy cars so it all works out LOL

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
