Ok peoples... this happened like 2 mins ago, im ever so proud :devil:

I was trying to sleep as one does at 1;45am.. and we heard glass brake so my parents run outside and notice the window of there car is smashed and the glovebox is ripped open.... My mom saw the one guy he was wearing a black jacket and a black cap.

I quickly decided to drive round the area and see if i can find em, and finaly enough i see a guy fitting the discription snooping around cars 1km away from my house on malvern rd in armadale. The guy quickly jumped in his car and sped off when he noticed i was watching. i followed in the mighty skyline :w00t: you could tell he was dodgy, when he relised i was following him he kept changing his direction indicating left and then turning right etc.... Then i notice the cops drive past him on the way to my house so i try to flag em down and get them to do a uturn and chase after them, which didnt quite work.

I gave the cops his rego and (surprise surprise) the owner of the car has 2 prior car theft charges !!!!! :O

Police are on there way now to pickup the little fella :)

Case closed !!

Dectective justin strikes again :) no reward for me though.... :D

BTW if anyone ever see's a blue Rodeo pickup truck, rego WOT-004 be sure to return the favour and smash in his window / go through the glovebox :)

Aparantly someone with a CLK up the road at around the same time, also had there window broken and all the wiring under the dash is all hacked up.

My moms just got a crapy astra convertible... now im no brain surgeon :devil: but if you wanted to brake into a convertible wouldnt you just cut the soft roof material stuff ????

Yes, because car manufacturers use bolt cotton for their soft tops...

wait, no they don't. Try and cut it (on a wreck). A window would be quicker.

Guys like this are the reason I hate parking on the streets... Good work, Detective Justin...

(cue voice over...)

If theres ever trouble, just call justin911.

justin911. For all your private investication needs

i live inbetween 2 police stations :wave: malvern station is like 1km down the road, and glenferrie is 1km up the road..

Unfortunatly though i doubt anything will happen to the guy... he had been caught stealing cars on 2 seperate occasions previously and he's still roaming around :(

Also well done to the Cops as well for their promt respond.

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
