Yeah. It's getting ridiculous now. So much theft going on.

One dodgy neighbour is all it takes.

A mate in Carnegie had his car broken into recently...for the second time...the thief only stole the remote gate opener. Obviously so they can come back for the car or more break ins.

There's no way I wouldn't insure a car in one of these carparks.

Yeah apartments just not safe these days either, cameras pretty easy to get by just covering up

My car is like 1 meter behind where my head is when sleeping and bike is about 4 meters all locked up so hopefully I'd hear if anything dodgey going on.. still insured doe. If not home could just walk in with bolt cutters snap bike steering lock off / pick up front wheel onto a trolley and wheel it out.

Do peeps selling skylines just leave them at the station now to get payouts?

I've seen stolen bikes in apartment complex's bolted to the ground with one of those 'unbreakable' chains - grinder marks on the floor and it was gone lol.

he had alarm imob and such.

so guessing they broke the steering lock and as the parks are upstairs put in neutral and rolled it down to the ground and on a truck.

ballsy move as he basically lives opposite the st kilda rd police station.

Problem is no one but the owner and people who know it's the owner's car would stop them...if anyone even dared to ask what they were up to they'd just say towing it to be repaired and no one would question it.

If only the scumbags put their brains into something honest.

at current interest rates, a $100 a day junkie could afford to pay the interest on an $850k mortgage....

think about that

I'm entirely OK if my car got stolen or written off, which means it is the most secure car in the universe.

So much so, some people broke into my Camry (why, I don't know), and flattened the battery (again, really not sure how.. it starts) and left my wallet on the passenger seat where I had accidentally left it because... I'm lucky?

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
