My thoughts are with you Mikey... hope you get better real soon; from personal experience you'll find it pretty hard to be as "carefree" as before - you'll always think that someone is out to get you / your car.

What both Duncan and Pete have said is true... if they want your car and will obviously stop at no lengths to get it, then GIVE IT to them. I don't know about you lot but I value my life more than I value my car.

Suggestions of keeping weapons etc on you is stupid... it promotes violence and will probably get you in trouble even if it was "self defence". Correct me if I'm wrong but if you had the weapon in your car expecting trouble, it's not really self defence is it, especially if you club the guy to near death proportions.

can't go to cops as i threw first punch, i wanted try and phsyc them out by taking them on instead of running,

Go to the cops buddy, you got nothing to worry about. It was very clearly self defense. It is your legal right to defend your self, your property or a third party, if you/it/they are under imamate or immediate attack, with equal or lesser force. Since there was two or them and one of you that is lesser force. And by them sayin "give me your keys" makes it very clear of their intentions. Go to the cops, I know that the VIC pol that I have dealt with in similar situations take it very seriously. Well, I wish you all the best with your recovery, and I sincerely hope that these guys get ass raped by someone.

Cheers

Helio

so have you gone to the cops yet Mikey?

Joe - I heard a similar story - a mate went to that same party and said someone got hit - also about money..

A club lock or maglite is as good a weapon as any. Carry one of them with you at all times. Even a skateboard is a good weapon. Pricks! Hope you get better soon champ!

Hope you get well soon Mikey :D

i was once a northern beach person living at allambie heights but move from there years ago.

anyways regarding weapons around 4-5 years ago i tested drive with my mate a JDM spec 1997 dc2r integra type-r and he was viet when we jumped in the back seats there was this next and shiney watermelon knife(i can't spell the name of this). Hahah we didn't end up buying the car but we had 3 guys so it was cool.

bad luck mate

not goods man

hope u feel better.

i doubt the cops would do much anyways

they will most likely say, nah we couldnt find em after 3 months....

grab the tyre iron and leave it beside the drivers door, on the carpet next to the petrol and boot button.

so if someone comes near ya, smack smack hehehehe

y can't people just leave us alone with our lines :spank::ninja: :ninja:

thats the new hiding place for it lol.

chubbs- a police report has been made including names, so now ive been told to wait until they go and speak with these people, they said that even though i threw the first, the severity of my injuries is enough to warrant self defence.

they said that once they have spoken to the people and if i wanmt to proceed then i was told i have more than enouigh evidence to press agrevated assaul = 1-5yrs max jail

Hey Mikey,

Hope all goes well with your surgery tomoz, don't know if we'll be able to get down to see you but wanted you to know we'll be thinking of you sweet pea... get better soon...

xoxoxoxoxox

yeah you know what? a mate of mine told me someone got bashed up near that way on the same night near a party.

something about owing someone some money he didnt come good on.

Joe - wonder if we have the same mate!

I was told same thing!

Mikey.....!!! Glad I came online..... Hope ur ok mate, it will explain why u won't be out cruising this week.... :wave:

Please get well soon.... I think most of us would try to save our rides as much as we can.... I say just break ur key and say, "fine.... take it....!!" :wave: Mite piss em off, but ur car's not going anywhere....

Get well mate....

hey dude, sorry to hear!!! if only we lived in a world where people respected other peoples property, oh well gives you sum1 to bash, f*king car thiefs. the lowest of the low!!!!!!

haha if i actually knew you i would have visited ya cuz i work in ........

Edited by esky_mad

f**k that's hectic. Killara too.

Tell ya what man maybe they been waitin for ya or something? Do you have any more background about it? If you know their names you know them from somewhere right?

I used to live in St Ives before I moved outta my folks place - Killara/Lindfield/St Ives/Turramurra are good whitey/Jewish neighbourhoods. I wouldn't expect this sorta stuff happening just like that.

Hope you get better soon.

nah i dont park there very often at all, it was about 11pm so i dont think there was. i even drove myself to the hospital with blood dripping everywhere, so stoked it didnt get on my seat hahaha

Sick. haha that's cool.

Remember everyone- carrying a weapon with intent to use it in self defence or not isn't a good thing if it comes to court. It's different than if there is something in your car you use for something else legitimately that just happens to be used reasonably to defend yourself.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
