Just passing on the words... thieves - hate em!

ORIGINAL bulletin posted by Adam:

*******************************

When I hear people from the city and other area's of Adelaide slander the south I defend it. The south is my home and the only place I have ever lived. We have amazing down to earth people, beautiful coast line, surfing beaches, fantastic wines and gorgeous amazing girls smile.gif

It has been my choice to give up 90% of my life to my career...in order to fuel a love I have for motor sports... alot of study and alot of travel away from loved ones in order for that next eagerly awaited mod.

When this lack of humanity happens it tests my faith in the south... What have these people given up in their lives to think they have the right to take someone else’s hard work? what have they given up for them apart from a broken foot?

.......

Yesterday at 4 in the morning a group of people decided to jack my car up and steal my 19" speedy rims a few meters from my bedroom window...

They had 3 rims off and in their car...the 4th rim has a dodgy thread...meaning the rim was stuck. It seems they pulled as hard as they could and inturn the car fell off its jacks onto their foot. Smashing the body of my car into the ground.

My alarm then went off and woke me up...jumping over Bee, running into 3 doors trying to get out side the criminal got his foot loose leaving his shoe...

Their car ripped up commercial road as I was left in my undies motionless at the sheer horror of my totalled wreck of a 200sx.

The bill is around the 6 grand mark so far (not insured)

.......

Should I move to another safer area and give up mates and the environment I love?

I don’t want to loose faith in my love of the south... i would like to think the amount of good hard working moral people we have down here outweight the sh7thead down and outers.

They have 3 rims? They cannot sell them! They are rare! I cannot reorder them they are no longer made! There is one other car in Adelaide who has them! These rims will sit in some room not able to be sold. PUT THEM BACK ON MY LAWN! You screwed up!

South I ask this of you! Talk about it...repost this get the word around...any info leading to these people i will reward! I want them! And I want this bullsh7t to stop. The effect this has on people’s lives is horrible I have seen cars in drive ways stripped and their lives are forever changed. I don’t want this happening to anyone else.

Info I need!

1. Anyone who has suddenly after yesterday got a broken foot! Or limping! Their shoe was a cheap as sh7t wave zone skater shoe... Msg me this info.. 0439418141

2. A light blue commodore VN with body kit big chrome mags and clear aftermarket rear lights. Msg me if you know this car! 0439418141

3.19" rims sitting anywhere side of the road or someone’s house. These are useless to them. Or if someone sells a 19" tyre cheap. Let me know! 0439418141

4. Two weeks ago I spent a grand on brand new tyres at the local Bridgestone next to quix...a coincidence they where stolen straight after?????? Again info I need 0439418141.

i need your help...someone knows somthing. Restore my faith in south.

Thanks,

Adam De Laine

poor him :)

don't want to be pain in the ass

but if he can afford to pay $37000+ for this car, why he doesn't buy insurance??

i nearly bought this car off the ex-owner 3 yrs ago, so close i even took it to Nissan Unley to perform a pre purchase check

hell theres a million VNs in adelaide with chromies and aftermarket tail lights. I know one and will SMS/Call him tommorow.

PS, didnt this happen a few weeks ago? Remember that same 200sx with them pics not long ago?

justa heads up, that vn commo is a local down seaford.... ive been living down here for a while and i see if often enough ( cant mis it,every time i see it i think wot a w$%ker......

looks like hes gonne get "NOCKED THE F*** OUT......BIATCH"

I hope someone gets them good and they end up in hospiatal eating through a straw, or their car gets stolen and torched.

... Scum like that need to grow the f**k up and work like everyone else.

....have you tried calling a local hospital if they have any records of someone with a broken foot from around that date?

Goodluck with getting your rims back.

It's just dumb not to have insurance on what will probably be your second most expensive ourchase in your life.

I do feel sorry for him, but the world we live in today means you need to insure your car, house, contents, etc, etc.

Sif park your car anywhere (or even own a nice one) without insurance. What the hell a nice car like that is doing parked on a street overnight is beyond me. If you don't give the thieves a good chance they won't even try unless you are majorly unlucky.

Sorry, but if you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford the car.

Hope he gets the rims back though, and the thieves get what is coming to them.

Aren't "Speedy" brand rims cheap-as-crap rubbish that every commo and excel has on them?

see this car all the time on the way home, lives not too far from me. Guys i do agree that its silly not to have insurance on something this nice and i'm sure the guy is regretting it now but lets not rub it in. Good luck getting it all fixed and sorted, i'll keep my eyes open.

    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
