Sydney has dominated a list of the country's top 10 vehicle theft hot spots, with Mount Druitt, followed by Blacktown and Liverpool, the most likely place to have your car stolen.

Eight of the top 10 suburbs were in greater Sydney, with only Melbourne's CBD and the Hobart suburb of Bellerive representing the rest of the country, a survey by the insurer AAMI has found.

haha Mount Druitt and Blacktown.. doesn't surprise me.

That said I live near-ish to both these suburbs and I've never ever *touch wood* had a problem with theft or vandalism of any sort. Guess I've just been lucky.

I've had more issues with theft and vandalism at my gf's joint in Bondi Jct over the past couple years than I've ever had in my suburb my entire life.....

Seriously though I reckon Mt Druitt and Blacktown have high theft rates because most people around there drive old shitters which are easier to steal in the first place..

Lol I work at Mt Druitt westfield & the only problem I've ever had is someone hitting my car with a shopping trolley while I was off working :D

I agree, lots of old shatboxes running around to be stolen or broken into

sutherland shire here, not worried much. Once left my car door open all night (accidentally) with the cabin lights on, lol, oops. Nothing happened, not even coins missing from my ash tray. It was parked on the street mind you.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.

      R32 GT-R: 4WD Light Turns On After Bumps – Code 19 (ETS Motor) But No Issues Found

      By Bireley_32 · Posted

      Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.

      The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
