Hey guys. Just a quick warning to those who park in the civic pool car park.

Someone attempted to break into my car yesterday. I think my alarm scared em off. It looks like they tried to pry the drivers window outwards to get in. In doing this they scratched near the door and broke the plastic wind doovie and chucked it in the bushes near by. It could have happpend at any time because it was parked there all day. I noticed this between 5 and 5:30 yesterday arvo. My car has also been previously badged in this carpark.

I know there is at least 4 or 5 other 'lines parking there regularly and a few supras and such so be warned.

Id hate to see someones car go "missing".

Cheers

Stephen

civic carparks are dodgy as.

Twice ive come back to my car after leaving it in that carpark and there has been glass smashed on the ground, and twice it has been the car next to mine that has been broken in to.

both times i thought the worse and that my car had benn raided.

Luckily they didnt even touch my car

My car has been broken into there and all they took was chewing gum and my parking ticket so I got a fine, bastards, they also manged to ruin my locks but I guess it could of been much worse once they realised I didnt have cd's or even a stereo they could have keyed the car etc but they were probably interupted!!! Junkies from braddon are always seen around that area and what do you think they are doing there? Trying to steal from cars. Kill them all and let god sort them out!!!haha

I just got a pass to park under the new construction in Section 84. it's only open to people working on the job though, no public access yet. when the job finishes in about october it'll be open to the public

Civic is a bastard... My old car (mazda 626) got broken into in the canberra center carpark and the pricks didn't want to know about it :D Even in the undercover/privately owned carparks you're on your own if something happens it seems.

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
