Fellow Skyliners,

I need your urgent help - particularly those that live in VIC - MELB.

Last night, I parked my car oustide my front yard for once (not garaged) as our house had guests staying over.

Anyways, at around 4am in the morning, some farkers came and smashed my two side windows in a bid to steal my TomTom GPS system and my Pioneer DVD deck. My trusty Viper Alarm sounded like a motherfarker and those smucks quickly dashed off with only the TomTom in hand - they even forgot the charger (which makes the TomTom now somewhat uselss).

Long story - short, of course I am hurt and very upset; but the main thing now is to get my two side windows replaced as I need my car to get to work etc and cannot allow dust, sand etc to get into my car through those windows... does anyone know of a reliable, reasonably-priced automotive glass provider/fitter that can get my side windows fixed quick-smart? If so, some contact details and a ball-park figure would be nice...

Many thanks to all... I really hate thieves... God damn them.... arrhhhh....

Regards,

Bad luck Mate.

The UK is rife with this problem at the moment. As GPS devices there can integrate with the traffic sensors on the motor ways and warn you of traffic problems, loads of people have them in their cars, without even using the navigation part of them.

This has lead to a new round of car break ins. It used to be for the stereos and car phones, but now they just go for the satnavs. Even locking them in the glovebox does not deter as 90% of people leave the stand fastened to middle of the windscreen so the thief will just break in, look in the glovebox, and will usually find the charger as well.

Thanks guys - thanks for the support... damn it.... I ended up calling O'farken Brien's.... and they charged me $500 to get both windows replaced with tint.... but the thing is, my beast is now back on the roads so yeah... at least that's ok....

Yeah, I must agree SATNAV's are the latest craze... with mobile phones costing lesser and lesser each day and they're so affordable, no one really wants one... GPS's are the boy-toy now... so if you have a SAT NAV... I would take it with you and make sure there's no trace of it showing so that the bastards don't ram your doors... but yeah, damn, if I got my car stolen I really wouldn't know what to do.... damn it!

Any similiar bad lucks, fellas?

Thanks again..

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
