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

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
