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

hope your insurance covers it

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.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
