icon_minipost.gifPosted: Tue Sep 11, 2007 10:14 pm Post subject: Nearly got carjacked...... icon_quote.gif icon_edit.gif Hey guys,

Just a heads up...nearly got carjacked today....

Parked my car on the side of the street. Was

there for like 10 minutes. Then a van parks behind me.

Didnt really car about that, until a few seconds later, i looked

at the passenger mirror and saw 3 guys crouching on the side. The

mirror was pointed to the gutter since i always use that to park.

Front person had a hammer.....he was up to the rear door...i think

As soon as i saw that...started the car and got the f**k out of there.

This happened in macquarie park....ryde....whatever.......

Its the street that intersects with talavera..if i turn right into the

street, sony will be on my left....just under the bridge for the M2.

Sorry...didnt get plates.....i didnt even check my blind spot.....

Thats pretty f**ked up... But it is getting worse there, my mates supra has been keyed twice in 3 weeks at macquarie shopping centre... but we're pretty sure its a personal attack, as my car was parked near his...

FYI the Mac car park security sucks, unless you park in the right place... which i now know :blink:

Also, thank you Y2K2 :(

i used to work in macquarie park and yea parking in mac centre is dodgy as...

i was parked there one day and came back to my car to find 3 guys hovering around my car... being a chick i didnt really feel it would be smart to approach them.. by the time i went and found security to walk me back to my car they were gone.... well i thought they were anyways. They were sitting in a white corrolla a few cars away and i only noticed when i pulled out that it was them...

I done a few circles around epping road and waterloo road until i felt i had lost em...

never drove to mac centre after that.. always just left the line at work and walked down..

sketchy motha f*kas go get a job and get your own decent car

Yeh Mac. Pk isn't the best, but neither is Parramatta. I left my car at the Riverside parking lot and car got keyed there. Was totally random. Lots of jealous motherf**ker dogs around there. Just need to be careful. That place is secured and monitored so u'd think it'd be OK.

What can u do? Nothing, just wait for karma. :blink:

That area = IT centre of Sydney = lots of nerds with nice cars.

Nerds are easy to beat up.

This is the sort of reason I can't be bpthered buying an R33 GT-R.

Can't park the mofo anywhere and not have to worry about it.

f**k yeah that's the main reason I don't have a Lambo too!

yeah- you especially

and you don't have a Lambo coz ur ass be broke :blink:

My area has just gone to sh#t

when I was growing up people could leave their car parked on the lawn, on the side of the street without worrying about anything

In the last month alone:

Some punks took the valve caps off my car when I parked it in the driveway

Neighbours two houses down left their lancer parked on the street for the night & had their new wheels stolen. The pricks even kicked the bricks off one side

little brother was riding pushbikes with his mates, and saw someone do a smash & grab on someone's car in daylight

:domokun: Bloody hell. I'm moving

Mac Centre has been shit for years. I've had mates who've had to go there for various reasons, and had their car keyed / dinged multiple times. Then there's some of the deadshits that think its cool to hang around the mall.

I went in to Chatswood today, and I made sure I parked between two pillars to give maximum room to the slope-brows that can't park in the middle of a spot and are too fat to open their doors a little. In future I might just park sideways across two spots, but that would just invite some c**t to key my car.

And most neighbourhoods have gone to shit. Someone else posted up that they got stitches after some guys tried to jack him in Killara and he fought them off. Killara's right in the middle of the most middle-class area of Sydney. People are also getting jacked in the Eastern Suburbs since the crims know that the guys over there tend to drive fancy cars.

So its not just "povo" neighbourhoods where you have to watch your back. Nowhere's safe.

Edited by scathing

i used to own one and broke into once....i also owned a vl that i always locked the keys in, but it was sooo easy to break into i didnt care....it was a piece of shit, no one would have taken it...

Maq Park, North Ryde are usually alright up until school holidays and then the "great unwashed filth" comes out of the woodwork looking for something to do, which is normally to get drunk, stoned, root, beat each other up, ride minibikes on the roads and steal shit. Or they just invite their 'mates' from other suburbs (usually Marsfield or down south) to come over and start something, I don't really see this as being all that much different to the rest of northern Sydney, just personally irritating because I live and work here.

Chatswood, DeeWhy, Roseville, all those suburbs I used to live in where just as annoying in their own way with 'doods' up to no good.

Aside from guages and a stereo going missing (in-out-gone in 120sec <- I shit you not) no one seems to want to pick on this particular IT nerd :laugh:

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
