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!

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.

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:

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.

      Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.

      In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
