i agree, move the car in a clearly visible location but i disagree with the slash tires comment as the ass that did this to your car may be away and someone else uses the spot, you would make things worse with the locals or worse get caught, try talk to the tenants there, see if they had similar issues and see if anyone suspects someone, most times u will find an old lady that has nothing better to do than spy on her neighbor, with a bit of luck you might be able to park near her view so you can get free surveillance ..lol

+1, making friends with nosy old ladies is always the way to go...

And yeah, while revenge might feel sweet, if it's not their car, mistaken identity etc... Would suck :)

A few years ago my old car got completely done over by some teens at a local shopping centre, there was a witness but he was to afraid to do anything, they smashed a window trying to steal it and got no where thanks to the imobiliser, they keyed each and every damn panel, the car was in the shop for over a month going back to bare metal and getting fully resprayed, and it happaned again about a year after down one side of the car while it was parked in my driveway but i know who did that so im sitting on still untill this day......for now, i ended up selling the car not long after that.

i feel your pain champ, it broke my heart when i sore mine the first time.

Thanks for the light hearted suggestions, don't worry I'm not going to do anything because its not something I would do to anyone's car anyway. If I have a problem with someone else's car I would let it go or leave a note and leave it on the wipers.

But for those who are interested in this possible suspect (parked in the same spot for the past few days already), its a P plater.

unfortunately there's not much you can do other than make friends with all your neighbours and they will end up looking out for you....

Im not into damaging their car, Id be tempted to wreck them though, it wont get you anywhere, it'll just cause more retaliation...

video surveillance catching them in the act would be priceless...

video surveillance catching them in the act would be priceless...

i agree park it one day in the same spot and place a camcorder hidden inside pointing at the front and a little to the side and hope he will do it again this way you get Ur whole car resprayed on his sorry ass!

    • Yep, replacing all those hoses is kind of just bog standard if you're ever back there. Only hose on the back of the engine I have yet to replace is a vacuum hose for the wastegate. I'll probably do it eventually but it's in such an annoying spot.
    • I was actually just planning on replacing the fourth gear parts in the gear box that I broke … like the synchro hub or cone. And any other parts I need once I open up the transmission. That a bad idea? The rest of the gears feel tight. these parts shouldn’t be too much … just the labour here won’t be cheap. Just replacing these in HK would be around 2k aud including labour.    how much is a new r33 or r32 transmission?    thanks for the good info as usual       
    • I chose a bad time to buy, at the time there was no gtst's for sale in NSW and my options were qld, vic, or sa and not the greatest examples or too far out of my budget. Ended up picking this one from adelaide sight unseen and got a bit stitched up as you could expect but i dont fully regret it, its just a shame people cant be more transparent in this day and age.
    • IMO just buy a whole R33 transmission and swap the whole thing. Use a palm nailer/air hammer with a roll pin punch to drive the shifter rod end roll pins out. The rod end is discontinued so don't break it. Use gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket instead of RTV. I personally would not pry on the shifter cover tabs, I broke one trying that instead of just smacking the side with a dead blow rubber mallet to shock it loose from the RTV the last mechanic applied. If you can't get the flanges totally clean and free of any residual RTV and/or you might have a gap that is bigger than it should due to flange damage use RTV on that surface instead of the OEM specced anaerobic sealer. Anaerobic sealer is most likely the right sealant for the job, it's just too easy to mess it up with too large a gap or bad surface prep/roughness seemingly. If you do rebuild what you have it's for a whole gearset that can take high torque. Don't bother with OEM at that point.
    • Little hose. Big hose. They're all waiting to kill the engine.
