cops dont do shit for car break ins.

gfs car got broken into, they took name, rego, parts stolen and chased her up about the damn TITLES of the CDs stolen for a week. WTF? go catch criminals not ring constantly asking exactly what cds were taken!

another mates S13 got nicked (the whole car) and he found it luckily a few streets away but they wouldnt come out for that until he footstamped and threatened until the did.

cops are useless unless your dead. then they seem to take notice.

no it is unless you speed, have big wheels, your car goes psssssttt, a loud exhust, or making clouds lol

then they are right up on your case

Thanks guys appreciate the support I have managed to source a window off another SAU'r at a good price which is great so hopefully that will help me save a few $$$. Big problem is when they cut the SAFC out my car is running like crap now it wont rev above 1700rpm am guessing because when the SAFC was installed they would have to cut and bypass a couple of wires. I will have to try and work out which ones have been cut and solder them back together. Hopefully I will be right but if anyone installed an SAFC and knows what wires I should be looking for or is an electrician (looks at Andrew) and is happy to lend me 5 minutes of phone time or pop out and have a quick look I would appreciate it (locted in the city area).

Cheers Leigh

If it was installed properly, it should have the plastic cable taps/cuts. Basically you put the original wire in and the wire from the safc in, close them up and it splices the original and feeds it into the safc wire. It would be pretty obvious which wires go where from looking at that. Thats if it was installed properly though :D

Otherwise its just a matter of matching colour to colour, wouldnt take more than 30 minutes to do.

Sorry to hear about it :D Exactly the reason I will never move to apartments. Their "secure" car parks seem to have the highest rate of theft.

And they reckon they are not revenue raising........give us a break, any real police work and you can't find them, they're too busy hassling some super criminal [not] for doing 5km/h over the speed limit and extracting a hefty fine as payment!!!

spewing to hear Leigh, id hate for a car to be so violated,

regarding the not running right, if you have a wiring diagram for either the safc or car, find the AFM signal wire and join the two ends together, thats the only wire that needs to be cut when putting an safc I in, not too sure about the II but, if you need a hand, give me a buzz, should be able to fix it up for you.

I remember when i was working in Tuggers there was a crash at the lights near Tyre Power. It was fairly serious, cars had to be towed and stuff. The cops didn't get down there for a full 30-40 mins after the accident (even though the crash had obstructed the road at one point). Police station is like...2 minutes walk away. What the hell?

Anyways, sorry to hear it Leigh. :thumbsup:

again cheers for the kind words all and nik and andrew were right when the safc was installed it just needed the AFM wires reattached and it started running fine again. So things are starting to look better except that i am stuck with a 1980 honda accord for the next week or so lol its a beast :thumbsup:

Yeah if your dodgy.

Scotch locks/insulation displacement joiners should never be used, they degrade the integrity of the conductor, which leads to wires breaking, hot jointing, short circuits etc.. things i certainly wouldnt want when dealing with something that (partly) controls my engine.

Sorry for O/T, but unfortunatly Leigh, i think the only way to have a "secure" carpark where you live is to put a fence and roller door on your parking spot. but on the bright(ish?) side, karmas a bitch, theyll get theirs...

My housemate used the secure parking under my last place. i was forced to park in the vistor parking for a year. i never had one problem being outside, and my car was (is) a lot better than his (exa). someone busted into his car under our secure parking and flogged all his work stuff including laptop etc as he was driving to sydney in the morning for work and had packed the night before. i think if they (crooks) have to try to break in they will, but my car wasn't a challenge so they left it alone. very ironic i think

Sorry to hear that leigh..

that would be my worst nightmare someone breaking into my car..

your kinda right about the car parks.. altho they say there secure, with gates and doors.. its also means there tucked away.. noboys is around.. easier to do what you want without being seen.. Were as if your car is out side in front of and appartment. its more likely for someone to see once the alarm has gone off.. if you get me..

IT may be called secure.. but its so secure no one can see it.. which makes it an easier target.

i had it happen twice in my R33, but they never broke a window. i found out how they got in though, it's not hard to break into cars without window frames.

hopefully you can get your stuff back together without too much hassle, i hated driving around in my car after it was ripped open, it just reminded me all the time of the incident.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
