LoL...get ready to read my essay :P

So it looks like my streak of having good neighbors has finally come to an end. Im fortunate im only renting atm so whilst it is a bit of an inconvenience god only knows how much worse it could have been if i owned the place.

I've only been there two years yet i've encountered these problems:

-On two occasions their teenage sons violently attacking my dog from the fence with broom sticks sharpened as spears, rocks, as well as trying to kick her when she's fighting back. (she's a pitbull, so it makes me worried if she actually grabs a hold of em)

-Extreemly loud music, as it appears they have some sort of DJ equipment/speakers.

-Friends of their teenagers jumping over the fence "apparently" to retrieve their ball when i was taking the dog for a walk, and coming home to find the garage window smashed.

Needless to say, these events have made me a little paranoid, so i would regularly look out the kitchen window to see if there is anything un-toward as they are my back neighbors and have put a small camera in the dining room window shelf facing my garage as i park the GTR there....and so what happens over the weekend as a result?

-They erect a massive board (approx 3m x 1m) with some spray painting of a stickman waving, almost asif to say "Hello, we can see you"

I live on my own and am a quite person so i dont have wild parties with 439527634 ppl over getting drunk or make very much noise. And as im working 6 days a week and generally too tired to do anything on my days off the place is generally empty anyways except for my dog. In all instances i have tried to speak to the father that lives there only to be confronted with an extreemly arrogant attitude. Im guessing it may have something to do with the fact my landlord leased the place to me instead of their sister-in-law as he had his doubts about them too. Otherwise, i dont know any other reason why they would act in such a manner.

Looks like im gonna be moving now, but when im gone i may come back for a visit ;)

Anyways, thats my gripe for this morning. Anyone else around here had any bad experiences? How did u deal with it?

...and would you have any advice for my situation?

Since you're leaving - time to throw one of these parties... only one rule at this party - the bins / toilets are "over the fence" ;)

I've been at the same place for close to 20 years now; and have generally had a good set of neighbours to deal with except for the following:

1) Set of bogan kids thinking it's cool to spray paint racial abuse on my driveway (speaking to parents and threatening to press charges got that sorted)

2) Neighbour thinking it's ok to park us in 24/7 (sorted by going out at random hours of the night where he'd have to get up and move his car)

3) Neighbour's cats attacking my cat (sorted when their cat died)

4) Neighbour complaining about me washing my car (sorted when I complained about the "funky" smells coming from his house on Sat nights)

Ive lived in 9 houses and never once spoken to any of my neighbours

And you can bet if i found any one of them hitting my dog with anything i'd be jumping their fence and violently attacking them with more than a broom stick. Next time you see them pulling this shit make a scene with their parents so that they'll think twice about farking with you shit again. They fear their parents more than they'll ever fear you

Sorry to hear mate as it really does hinder your time at home. My parents have had something similar but their neighbours are just incredibly thick and not nasty, they just don't think. They are Church going Christians but really have little idea of the real world :)

We have been fairly lucky with neighbours except this idiot downstairs who plays metallica and nirvana loud at all hours of the day. Not good in an apartment.

By the sounds of yours, they are almost trying to get rid of you to get their sister in law in, from what you have written.

Short of making a complaint each time to the landlord or having any proof of criminal damage, I don't that there is a lot you can do, legally. Maybe is time to move on if you have been there a couple of years. :/

BTW - Very accomodating landlord to let you have a dog! :P We had cats and our landlord was fine with them but he was our neighbour too so no wild parties and he wasnt a fan of GOLGO or the cossie in the garage that shook all his windows on idle! ;)

Dusn't look like their parents have much control if they're doing all this shit... i say move out if its much of an issue, then petrol bomb their house ;)

Yer my landlord is such a top bloke, last summer he installed a split system aircon without me even asking and he hasnt put up the rates which is usually the case when there are added benifits.

LoL @ petrol bomb.... hhrrrmm *wonders* ;)

dude id do what satanic said time to throw a party and invite the whole sau group and make sure all garbage is over the fence but do it on your last day of living in the house(if your planning on moving out) so the landlord wont have too much to say lol

My mrs had these neighbours that were the most disfunctional sons of bitches i have ever come across, they terrorised the st, late at night they use to yell and scream with their domestics and shit, they even threatend me by saying "i'll f**k your car up", now f**k i understand you can call peope names etc. etc. but you dont touch the f**kn car and thats rule #1.

Well nothing happened to the car (lucky for them cos a petrol bomb would have come through their bedroom window at around 3am the next morning) but the police got sick of coming around and started ignoring calls from other neighbours.

These f**ks were soo bad that other neighbours got a restraining order against them and went to court and all...dept of human services ended up kicking them out and now they're gone thank god for that.. so peaceful now... but yea nothing worse than feeling uncomftable in your own property.. something you have to pay money for... and goes to show sometimes you cant fight fire with fire...

add something of your own to their board, like a small penis :nyaanyaa: (I dunno why that it's the only thing I could think of :domokun:)

My old neigbour used to be young dudes, well back in the days when i was much younger as well,

They used to have a pool, therefore they pretty much have parties every weekend during summer, till really late like 3, 4am in the morning. Not only that, they used to chuck beers bottle my fence, once, twice, three times and i've had enough so i seriously chuck my dog's poo back over the fence, INTO the pool AhAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHA.

After that, they still have party every now and then but they were well behaved LOL.

    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
    • I forgot about my shiny new plates!
    • Well, apparently they do fit, however this wont be a problem if not because the car will be stationary while i do the suspension work. I was just going to use the 16's to roll the old girl around if I needed to. I just need to get the E90 back on the road first. Yes! I'm a believer! 🙌 So, I contacted them because the site kinda sucks and I was really confused about what I'd need. They put together a package for me and because I was spraying all the seat surfaces and not doing spot fixes I decided not to send them a headrest to colour match, I just used their colour on file (and it was spot on).  I got some heavy duty cleaner, 1L of colour, a small bottle of dye hardener and a small bottle of the dye top coat. I also got a spray gun as I needed a larger nozzle than the gun I had and it was only $40 extra. From memory the total was ~$450 ish. Its not cheap but the result is awesome. They did add repair bits and pieces to the quote originally and the cost came down significantly when I said I didn't need any repair products. I did it over a weekend. The only issues I had were my own; I forgot to mix the hardener into the dye two coats but I had enough dye for 2 more coats with the hardener. I also just used up all the dye because why not and i rushed the last coat which gave me some runs. Thankfully the runs are under the headrests. The gun pattern wasn't great, very round and would have been better if it was a line. It made it a little tricky to get consistent coverage and I think having done the extra coats probably helped conceal any coverage issues. I contacted them again a few months later so I could get our X5 done (who the f**k thought white leather was a good idea for a family car?!) and they said they had some training to do in Sydney and I could get a reduced rate on the leather fix in the X5 if I let them demo their product on our car. So I agreed. When I took Bec in the E39 to pick it up, I showed them the job I'd done in my car and they were all (students included) really impressed. Note that they said the runs I created could be fixed easily at the time with a brush or an air compressor gun. So, now with the two cars done I can absolutely recommend Colourlock.  I'll take pics of both interiors and create a new thread.
    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
