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 ??"

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).

    • So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.
    • Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
    • your right the maps for Australia came out in 2017 but are 2010 maps. i got the updated maps SD card put it in and it was the same. Same maps in my Brothers Nissan Patrol. 2020 i think his car is
