good news, spent the whole day driving around looking for spare rear taillights. Average cost were around $220-$250 e.a which is a bitch. Lucklily i got a good bargin for $100 which was same colour as my car but the botton part of the tailights was broken. I had to replace the bottom section with my tailight, boy it was a nightmare to take off. Glued like a mother ****er. there was a point i was gonna give up, even 4 different spare part places said, ill have to get both set of lights replaced.

So the left side is all sweet now just good as new for $100. :D

Now just for the right side.

Any one out there have andy right taillight sitting at home?

ill post in WTB as of now too.

thx

I used to get a lot of nails in my tyres from exactly the same kind of neighbours when I parked next to my gf's house. They think they own the public road! The first few times they let all the air out of my tyres, then they started doing the nails, propping them up under the tyre while I was parked, I started kicking them out before I drove away and then they started stabbing the sidewalls, so then I introduced myself to the neighbours son... stopped altogether.

just few weeks ago i read a thread about

"breakinging into a skyline" didnt really read it all, just few post,

Now it has gotten me thinking like crazy.

how did they break in my car without and damage.

no keyhole damage, no panel/door damage,

asked the tower dude and he said, anyone who knows there shit can get a hold of some

'keylock' shit, some device that can open anydoor?

not sure

bahhhhhhhhhhh

I was wondering this the other day when i took my car to an exhaust shop to have some exhaust parts fitted and made.

While there the car was on the hoist with the key in the ignition. The alarm armed itself, locked the car and wound all the windows up. This happens by design and I know this happens but the shop did not.

Anyway so long story short they had to break into my car. Afterwards i figured out how to do it myself and its so embarissingly easy. I wont say how on here but yeah, a lot can be done to improve security on the average R33.

i guess this is just a lesson for me.

Until it happens to you, you wont do anything about it. Guess it has gotten to me.

I'm at work atm. waiting for a call from mechanic for the $ damage.

Any here can give an estimate how much its going to cost?

Looks like a new ignition will be required. :(

oh...by the pics does it show these guy(s) know their shit?

Knowing exsactly what they were doing?

Gets me thinking 1. they couldnt take it becuase the imobilser was just too good?

2. or a customer in the carpark saw them and made them shit themselves and run? <-- this i think most.

they really wanted the car, because my stereo (face) wasnt stolen nor my boost guages etc.

They were total amatures dude. A pro would not have cut any of those wires. To jump start a non-immobilised R33 only a single wire needs cutting. They didnt even touch that wire by the looks of it.

None of those wires they actually cut wouldve helped them at all. ****ing clowns.

thats fairly average, suprised your alarm didnt stop them from doing it

so the basically hack sawed off the iginition area just to flog the car

thats insane. i dont what else to say.

I agree, Ive heard of this fault in the R33, Ive tried to get people to PM the method so I can work out a way to prevent it but I havent heard anything more about it.

I would appreciat it if someone can tell us how this is done and what can be done if anything to prevent it.

if they were pros, the dash part below the steering wouldnt be ripped off like that ..

This wasn't a theft attempt, this was pure vandalism.

They ripped apart his steering column and sawed through every wire loom under there purely to piss the owner off.

With the alarm module cable tied like that on the steering column I could have had it running in 2 minutes. This is why the alarms I fit to skylines cannot be seen under the dash!

That was an attempt to steal the car, they are complete idiots and should have their hands cut off. :headshot:

If it was an attempt to steal the car, why would they have sawed through every single wire loom in the steering column, and then not steal anything?

I don't think they were trying to steal it. It was probably the same people who fcuked with his car the last time.

    • Hi, does anyone know how I can, or can a moderator remove this advertisement please.  Has been sold a long time ago and would like to remove references. Thanks. 
    • There are adaptors that allow you to delete the booster and use an s15 clutch master cylinder.    if you want to keep the booster they are still available brand new 
    • I visited again today: It would appear they have painted the main body of the car and some parts of some of the panels, so I can say that I now have BMW parts in my car, much to the envy of @Dose Pipe Sutututu It is still covered in dust which is quite the tease but I did look at a few circumspect spots that will be behind bumpers and such and wiped some dust away: After my repeated begging to PLEASE DONT PAINT OVER THE ENGINEERING CERTIFICATE (you have to re-engineer the entire car if they do) I see THIS: Which is great. Excellent job tbh at least to me. A better non dusty example would be the backs of the doors that have been painted: Giving a reasonable contrast between old and new (I know the old isn't clear coated on the inside of doors). The door card will well and truly cover where the old paint is, you can see in the second pic some of the black butyl/whatever shit is sticking the plastic sheet behind the door transfer that has happened since it's clearly been stuck back on. The most maddening thing about this colour is every time I saw it in the wild it looks like another colour, same with photos of many cars with the same colour looking wildly different in every photo anybody ever takes and this is no exception. But stand a little further back and it suddenly looks dark AF. I did tell them when I was discussing which of the 70 million charcoal colours to choose from (a porsche one, a BMW one, or a R32 GTR one etc) that if they just ignored me and chose one at random I would probably never notice. Maybe they did. But the colour is supposed to be B39 (BMW Mineral Gray). Boring I know, but the R34 sedan (to me) really shows off it's boat-ness when you paint it in a bright colour like bayside blue or white or whatever else. I do have a fondness for AR2 Nissan Red, but decided against that because it'll have pretty odd contrast to random bits unpainted (like engine bay, bits of trim etc, and maybe it'll fade). And people will always fkin comment on AR2. Everything remains super dusty. I have tracking numbers for the new heads, as well as some Improved Racing goodies, but they probably will be a next year thing by the time they end up on the car. I did some maths on the heads and I know why nobody goes to this extent in Australia, because it's really not worth it, given I could have just CNC'ed my current heads, bought a FAST102/TB and used my current rocker/spring/cam combination and get a 383 stroker (or stroked a 6.0 GenIV bottom end to 6.6L) built for the same price of just the setup in the mail/on the floor here. Or I could have bought a LS3 and a Drysump system. And then have a complete engine to sell. Oh well
    • We just disconnected the vacuum line if I remember correctly, booster is still there. Is there a rebuild solution for the booster or a different adapter that will work for GTR chassis?
