How can someone vandalize such a beautiful piece of machinery :(

This is going to make me very concerned when I park my car. :/

Unfortunately it happens all too often, mine was done under the drivers door handle down to metal and there are lighter scratches on the bonnet..... Both of dads cars have been keyed too (separate time and location)..... Its almost impossible to avoid low life plicks these days BUT do everything you can to protect your pride and joy :/

I feel sorry for anyone who has their vehicle damaged by kids.

I'm so careful nowdays my GTR is either within my line of sight or locked in my garage. :(

It's a shame you just cant drive wherever and park. Limits the time you get to spend with your nice ride.

I also drive a shitter almost everywhere because of these karnts.

Back in the day peeps would just admire a nice car.

To bad we took these awesome cars out of one of the most respectfull places in the world and brought them to Australia. Where we cant even leave our cars in a carpark of a shopping centre without fearing it would be stolen or keyed up by some tosser. If i were to personify our cars i bet they feel like they been taken out of sweeden and brought to serve in Afganistan !

Those who have nothing are jelous of those who do. Hence the vandalism.

There is a generation who believe everything should be given to them and they should'nt have to work for it.

If you don't work hard and earn it you dont appreciate or respect the efforts of those who do.

Some of us have raised a generation this way, unfortuantely.

Will your elderly (& deaf) next door neighbours allow you to park on their property (& you supplement their pension @ $3/wk)?

Their properties isn't suitable to park a skyline. On one side, it's a shabby rotted wood garage and on the other, there isn't a garage at all, weeds growing everywhere. My front yard is concreted and could accommodate up to 6 cars, just that my garage is rented out to a guy who rents my granny flat and he uses it as storage. His car is currently parked out next to mine, which gives me a bit of cover from the wondering eyes but hopefully my new slat fence would give my 34 bit more privacy. Might invest in some CCTV cameras.

Hate hearing stories of idiots doing shit to people's cars. If it was unprovoked i would be confident to say it was a very jealous individual and/or group as you have a gorgeous looking car on your RED P's. Haters gon' hate.

And yeah definitely sort out that garage man, i am nervous about leaving my V35 in the street for even a few hours at my house even though i live in a very safe area with next to no crime. Camera's at your house would be a great idea too man,

i had my old 33 keyed, if you have something nice lock it away its a shame but its what you have to do, i find its to do with the politicaly correct parents now days, when i was a kid you feared no one more than your parents if you did something worng God help you for the floging you would get would be worse than any jail sentence.

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
