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 ;)

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...

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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
