Really makes you wonder. We really dont have a fool proof system for protecting our cars

=[

Yea when I read this (was searching for what to look for, buying a R32 GTR next week I hope :D) got me a little depressed that not only do I have to worry about buying a lemon or having to do a rebuild, but now have to worry about asshats stealing it to?!?!

I thought of the chaining to a poll as well, unfortunately it will probably give even more credence to someone trying to steal it >_<

I think some sort of timelapse is probably the only thing that will provide enough details, certainly if you then get their faces or any other details. I'm pretty confident you wouldn't have to worry about a blanket going on the car while it is on the towtruck, at least until they catch on and start doing that as well >_<

Ultimately, I think setting up some sort of mega loud "THIS CAR IS BEING STOLEN" alarm that will go off if/when you don't push a button every day or something. Should be plenty of places to hide it, then just stick the battery in a door or something they'll never think to check.

this might seem drastic but chain the wheels to something like a pylon. like, big f**k off big chains

Bike chain for a car???

Is this what you had in mind??? (See Below)

when's the last time you EVER saw a towy taking a car and thought 'WTF! GET HIS DETAILS!' Never.

I'm totally suss of any sort of tow truck with no signage....and anything without plates. When I started working for City Link I started looking at people's plates (have no idea why) and have just kept doing it.

Doesn't hurt to ask the other states if they have seen the car up for sale or find someone to suddenly have a MP R34.

MP R34 , is quite rare - most likely the car will be sold "as is", I don't imagine they would go to the trouble of changing the colour, but who knows.

I'm sure it's probably a crime gang, with someone specifically wanting a MP R34 (stolen to order).

This might sound harsh, but have yoAre you positively annoyed friend?e any new "friends"/acquaintance lately, say in the last 3 months, asking about your car, where you work or un-solicited offering to buy the car etc? Reason being if it were planned they would have wanted to know more about your car.

Also have a think back if anyone has been following you to work.

Good luck with it all.

Obviously this isn't a case of some people wanting a quick joyride.

man thats so totally f**ked, sorry to hear man, hope u get it back in one piece soon, why dont they make laws here to SHOOT AND/OR INJURE BADLY ON THE SPOT any crook caught in the act or after the act. I would support that law 100%.

So guys, whats the best security now - GPS tracker?? how many of u have one?

thanks everyone.

i cant recall annoying anyone or anyone really asking questions about my car. a few people know where i work but my roster changes all the time so i dont know how they really knew i was working on sunday my guess is that it could of been anyone working at the shopping centre. eg. the trolley guys. but looks like it wont be found the police didnt sound very enthusiastic that they will find and same goes for my insurance company so looks like its time to begin searching for a car again.:(

Another GTR scotty? Don't let it leave a sour taste in your mouth dude!

yeah your right mate but there just isnt very many for sale at the moment and i cant wait for the few months of looking and then a few more months of gettng it on the roads here by importing it because thats just to long without a car.

Buy Marlin's R34.

Shit luck though, this is why I never park my R32 anywhere other than the garage, football training or uni (loads of parking officers) =/

Having a daily au falcon with hubcaps is awesome cause I don't have to drive the GTR everywhere!

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
