When I first moved into the place im at now, our garages were getting broken into on a regular basis. The only thing i was worried bout was them scratching my kid parked down there, so now, $90 later, if the door is even remotely jarred open it trips a silent alarm, waking or alerting me upstairs so I can stroll down and dish out some real street justice.

Happened once, found a guy snooping downstairs, flashed my wallet badge and asked him for ID, stoopid prick gave me everything I needed to know about him too! Dont know whether it was the badge or an accompnaying piece of equipment, but we have had no problems ever since!!!!!!!

A friend of mine who also lives in the same block of units as me in the east of sydney had his s15 Silvia (import 200sx) stolen during last week from our "secure parking". Our car spaces are next to each other about 50m from the main gate to the apartment parking, so its a fair bit awa from the street. Anyway my friend had lost his licence about 2 weeks earlier so the car had had its starter motor taken out for repairs as long as a few other things. The car was totally undrivable. So after having a little go at my skyline they decided to take the s15. Long story cut short. They must have broken in and pushed the car to the entrance of the units with tow truck waiting. Turns out its the 4th car stolen from the car park. Cops still havent even come out to look/interview people. The car was found 3 days later stripped. No insurance either (stupid).

Car theives are the scum of the earth. Police dont seem to take it to seriously either.

  • 1 month later...
  • 2 weeks later...

like I have said before, this isn't evident of all NSW police and I hate making generalisations but...

what is easier, cruise the streets and defect hassle young guys with done up cars (some deserve it), make the government some money from defects

or

setup operations to stop car thieves or bother to try and stop them?

I guess thats kind of a coincidence. Same guys at it for who knows how long and probably will continue until caught. What suprised me was that there were 3 ppl watching them and they didnt give a damn. Just kept on going until 1 of the witnesses yelled out. And I was parked under a street lamp across where all the bus stops are with ppl walking past continously. Never been to strathfield since ....... kind of sad really ... oh well at least we know it was a white old civic 1980's with some zorst ... you guys can watch out for that car ... btw guys inside were asian

If I was a cop, I'd be a lot more excited and proud about being tactical and strategically catching actual criminals - especially these obvious repeat offenders who would be making absolute fools out of the local police in each of those areas.

Otherwise I would have to consider myself nothing but a lowly traffic cop issuing infringements to nobodies.

Whats better ??

Scenario 1:

"Honey I'm home - yeap fined 3 more hoons for having pod filters tonight......nah nah pod filter.....P-O-D F-I-L-T-E-R ??.....Oh its a different type of air cleaner that......Honey - where are you goin ? You're goin to watch Big Brother ? Oh ok I'll wait till commercial to explain what that is and why its a big deal to me that I have to remain excited to come home and tell you about......Oh look...they evicted Vincent......Didn't you like him babe ??.....Honey ??? ...Hello ??"

OR

"Honey I'm home - yeap me and the boyz finally cracked that skyline thieving ring......yeah the ones with the cool round tail lights.......we got em babe.......what ?? you wanna have an early night AGAIN ?? oh ok honey......you're right...I did earn it....but take it easy with me - I've gotta get up at 6am and do it all over again.....yeap a good cop knows he can't rest while there's more out there..."

PuppaDuck, that story is funny because it's true! Well the first story is true, the second story as Majanal says, only happens in the movies. And even then in the movies doesn't the car thief get let off? (Gone in 60 seconds).

    • Hi guys my 94 r33 gtst fuel pump has gone out. I have a walbro 525 ready to go in but am unsure if I need to upgrade the fuel tank bulk heads? Ive heard that others have issues with the stock wiring melting... Ive seen alot of people recommend this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-nissan-skyline-r33-r34-silvia-s14-s15-billet-fuel-tank-bulkhead-hat-top-an6-with-high-current-connector-apex-2-8-delphi-fpg-100?variant=42873255198898 My current pump that stopped working is aftermarket but I had no relay mod or upgraded connectors. Need some advice please. TIA
    • It’s new. It’s the cd009. I did take the transmission apart to mill down the bellhousing and had both housings come off the gears so wondering is something isn’t in right. I am running redline. I can get it in gear running too but it’s just not easier and it’s almost like 2, 4, 6, and reverse all the back gears aren’t happy going in
    • I’ll remember that as a last choice. It’s brand new
    • Got keys and did a walk around the yard planning the landscaping works with the family that I will be doing Main effort: remove all the woodchip in the gardens that are around (attached) to the outside of the house and replace with 10mm blue metal, having woodchip close to the house is a recipe for inviting white ants, currently there are no white ants within the block and I would like to keep it that way I'll be buying some large raised garden beds to grow veggies and stuff, and the woodchip will be mulched with everything else that gets dug up, pulled out, or cut down during works Next will some minor drainage and landscaping maintenance up one side of the house, where the fuse box, AC, and solar stuff will go, about 12 mtrs long by 2 meters wide, I'll break up the soil, add gypsum and then I'll dig in a French drains about 300mm deep x 300mm wide and fill it with agg pipe and blue metal, then level out the whole area with a 50mm layer of blue metal, the soil, whilst currently pretty compacted, will break up well with the gypsum to aid in drainage, I'll then cover the area with a 50mm layer of more blue metal In saying this, the drainage issue is minor, but that little hidden away area down the side is untidy and weedy, and as all of the main elec stuff is there I want it neat and tidy to appease my OCD Again, the material excavated from the French drains with be added to the garden bed mulch, as will some rose bushes and some other crap looking garden plants, and a old apricot tree that is looking worse for wear The apricot tree is currently in a little roundish garden bed that is in the middle of the back yard with few other crappy looking plants around it, that will all be removed, levelled, re-turfed, and is a perfect spot for a hills hoist There is also a area about 3m x 2m between the rear fence and shed that will get some attention, it looks like some stuff was stored there and the grass is dead, that will also get broken up and mulched, and is a prime spot for a pumpkin patch I've guestimated that I'll need: 3 tonnes of blue metal, 12 meters of agg pipe, 5kg of Gypsum, and a hills hoist, so a few bags of concrete as well to set it in place (the house currently has one of those pull out 4 line jobs, whilst it works, I want a retro old school hills hoist), I am also going to run some chickens, there's a great spot for a coop, so a chicken coop to suit 4 of those lovely egg laying bitches will also be on the job card That should keep me busy for a while, and will finish off the back yard ready for a early spring planting of some veggies and berries  Once the main effort is done I'll start out the front, there's a large rock garden that could use some TLC, but that is only minor works Should be fully moved in within 2 weeks, the landscaping works will start then Fun times, retirement is good  
    • It happens, that's what your single stage filler is used for.  If it is still visible after the 3 coats of 2k primer, it will be visible after the paint is laid down.  Its hard to give 100% perfect advice without being there in person, I'm very tempted to say stop where you are, fill your pin holes with a single stage putty first then keep going.
