Thanks for that information JD, Looks as if that could have been then... Thanks for the feed back guys! Beau - we will most likely be out tonight, Jackson will be to so maybe call him up!

Again if anyone see's anything, let either myself or eddie know, his number can be found on Canberra cruises

Cheers

Dayne

That wasn't insensitive atall, you can't come on making a post and comment like that without giving the reason behind it.

I haven't checked cc.com but whatever happened i feel sorry for you, all i asked for was a reason behind the thread, simple.

So,I assume we're off to Cronulla for another riot,yes? How about we block the trade route to Ozzy Tyres and Tempe Tyres?!?

Certain members need to ease up on the red mist when something like this goes on,regardless of wheather it was provoked or not. I feel for the busted WRX,and I'm sure the owner,E.,isn't feeling too flash either. So;the Police don't want to know or care? They have been informed,yes? And it seems there's been similar sightings,so the the offenders aren't that intelligent,which makes me think they'll get caught eventually...

i think what the police told eddie is total crap, they pretty much brushed him aside, especially with email, like WTF?! i think its disgraceful.

a family friend of ours, the 12 yearold was riding around Kingston with his friends, all of a sudden an aboriginal kid steps out knocks him off his bike (there was 3 of them, 1 bike) and continues to beat the kids, the aboriginal kid was 17. after beating the kids he stole the bike...

The mother, after buying this bike 3 weeks before calls up the police and reports it. she KNOWS what the kids name is and where he lives. yet the police have said, Sorry but this is one of our last things on our list. this happened about 3 months ago, and the police still havent got around to it.

about 5 months ago was in woden interchange with my little cousin and a girl had just had her bag stolen, didnt realize till she yelled out that the guy riding right past us was a thief, anyway, i rang 000 and said id like to report a theft, the lady said what for? and i said a lady has just had her bag stolen in woden. she told me to ring my local police station, and as i didnt have the number she said shed forward me on to them, low and behold she forwarded me to Vodafone directory, i then said woden police station. after 5 minutes of being on hold, i hung up and thought f**k it ill just walk over. after getting to the police station i waited another 5 minutes, then a guy came out, and i said yeah id like to report a theft just in woden interchange and he said o what happened, i told him bout the bike rider, what he was wearing what type of bike it was etc... and then he said ok whats your name? address? phone number? it seems he didnt write down any details of the theif that i gave him, only my details. WTF?! the theif, long gone.

in school your taught if you see something happen and its illegal, call 000.

i know this is alot less than what happened to eddie, but if they cant do anything about people being abbused, and damadge to public property, then what can they do? oh yeah thats right they can catch yo doing 5k's over the speed limit.

the govt. spends 5 million $ on the new police station in woden, when theres barely enough police officers in the act for everyday crimes, not traffic enfringments. absoloute waste of money. i think ACT needs to step up with police, a crime is a crime. if those police didnt tell eddie to stop following, he probably wouldve found out where these guys were living/staying. and knowing the police, they probably wouldntve done much with the address. but atleast eddie wouldve known where those c**ts lived and couldve paid them a visit later. although if those bastards had a gun it wouldve been alot different. the police wouldve been there instantly.

at what point will the police start doing there job before people start taking shit into their own hands.

So,I assume we're off to Cronulla for another riot,yes? How about we block the trade route to Ozzy Tyres and Tempe Tyres?!?

With all due respect Jayce, I think that's a bit far fetched.

Eddie would be looking for these guys if they were green skinned martians. It's not the fact that they were of 'middle eastern' appearance, but rather the fact that they attacked him and damaged his property.

Respect noted. I was hinting towards the direction this could head:

i seriously hope these c**ts are found tonight man, no one has the right to do that shit. f**k thats gay, cant even drive around without some dumb f**k trying to be a big man by bashing someone half his age. thats f**ken bullshit and if you ask me its cowardly. hope those c**ts are found tonight...

P.S. if you need company for tonight gimme a buzz, you got my number.

Anyone else feel like anger may be clouding some peoples judgement? This isn't a shot at Skylvia,more the lack of faith both we have in the law,and the lack of trust the law have with us(the car modifying culture in general). Me,I'd like to hear the three sides to the story,but I don't think that will occur. Talk of "going on the hunt" for retribution is understandable,but not acceptable. I'm assuming we all pay our taxes;so those that feel wrongly done by,get to the Police station you feel has apparently short-changed you and "hunt" for the answers there.

Anyone else feel like anger may be clouding some peoples judgement?

It's to be expected in a situation in which an object for which you worked hard to obtain is damaged for no apparent reason by a person whom can't be held responsible due to evasion.

I also believe Eddie would have little luck with the Police due to his age if he were to argue his case alone.

that post wasnt stating that they should have the shit beaten out of them for what they did, it was more the fact that they had no right to do it in the first place. and ofcourse im going to be pissed off when my friend has just had the doors beaten in on his new car and a scarred face. even if i havent heard the other sides of the story, i know for a fact eddie wouldnt be stupid enough to run his mouth off to 3 ethnic blokes twice his age.

i think the cops couldve done more than thrown eddie there email address and said email us if you find anything A.K.A. were not gonna bother, so if you can, let us know, but only by email because we dont wanna get to it too quick.

i think that this has gone a bit of topic, i needed/ wanted to find them because without one of their signatures i am not covered by insurance, and not just that i would have liked to have found them to be able to bring them to justice for hitting me for no reason? as "mivec" said it would not matter of what race they were from that was purely for discription of the people who did it so that anyone else may have been able to find them thanks for all your help with this guys but i think they may have gotten away with it....

Edited by eddie3330

good luck Eddie, although i think you're right, they've probably gotten away with it. Even if they were found, they'd just deny it... :dry:

sometimes with the cops you just have to do it yourself......my ex had his car stolen from our apartment in Kingston years ago and even tho the cops came around they didn't want to do much, so he went looking himself and tracked them down. It didn't take much - a few questions at the 24hr servos and knowing where they might go in Kingston/Narrabundah cos we figured they only wanted to steal the Simmons. Nothing the cops couldnt have done themselves :O

    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
