Hi all,

Just a general call out to see if anyone on SAU works in the Security Industry and would help me out in getting 1 or 2 security bollards for my workshop entry. Primarily it is to stop ram-raids etc, so they will have to be either retractable or removable.

Looking at getting units that are very sturdy; places online all don't have prices so I have no idea what I'm looking at paying - any help is appreciated!

Cheers

Stan

i got out of the business a long time ago, i had a few connections so i'll have a look around for them. but those ram thingos dont do shit unless you've got one on the inside too. if someone was to rock up with some bolt cutters or an oxy (it happens) they'll get those suckers off with no problem within 2 or so mins.

i've seen and heard of alot of places with just the two on the outside.

Ive heard security patrols are good ,say maybe twice or once a night a guards comes around to check the premises and also monitoring the place is also good,that way if there is an alarm the guard is more likely to show up before the police do u good even have a silent alarm in order to catch thieves,etc.

need any more backup call 0409360867 and say Rik sent you they should give u a good deal.

Stan,

Security Bollards are a good investment, as previously pointed out they dont stop the intruder but they are a great deterant.

Eg. 2 shops identically the same one with bollards, one without bollards it is highly probable that the theive would go for the ones without the bollards. Its a risk management process. Likelihood vs, Consequence.

The likelihood of the event happening is lessened by having the bollards and the consequence lessens as the time it would take for a theive to enter increases.

=Great investment by pyshical deterance.

Alarm monitoring is not expensive. If an alarm is set off a patrol car will respond and then there will be an extra cost for the service.

Theres a few other things I could suggest if your serious about risks within your business.

Cheers

bit late,but most safety supplies stores stock such items or can atleast get them in for you. there is a place called KLENALL out at castlereagh.

OR you could always make your own with some RHS and cement.

i can give you a hand.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
