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:

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
