I believe the just jap car was found dumped too.

They appear to have done little to settle the rumours... and I'm not referring to this forum. I'm just reading things on other sites that could be squashed.

Got everyone involved and didn't provide closure.

yeah really hate the no closure thing....

How lucky is he tho..

Dont hear stories like that too often..

perhaps it was a different group who stole his car??

To be honest if his mate didnt find it the casino car park managers would have eventually anyway, but yeah, given the circumstances it was pretty lucky that it was his mate instead.

Look, we're not dealing with fairies here ok. Everyone sits behind their keyboard and talks about bashing thieves, setting traps and so on. Who wants to be the first one to approach them and get shot in the head?

1. Insure your car - if you can't afford insurance you can't afford the car.

2. Don't go to Miranda Westfield ever.

3. Police are not necessarily lazy, they just have budgetary, political and management set priorities.

Insure your car, your kidding me right? Just cars wants close to 4k to insure my car, and I doubt my car is worth more than 16k at best. It's obsurd to insure an import, I just have 3rd party property damage insurance and that's it incase I slam into a merc.

It's not that people can't afford to insure their car, its just ridiculous, might as well buy a new car every 4 years.

I think I have a pretty substantial history to post on this particular comment... anyone who doubts that can look in my signature and see what I've been through. I think you've touched on the key issue here but not quite hit the nail on the head. I agree completely with what you're saying but have to say it goes much further than that.

The problem with "society" today is "society" itself... every prick wants something for nothing and expects to just "get everything they deserve"... the problem with this is the point GTST was making (again, someone who has a strong historic opinion on the topic - from memory there are posts in my thread that reflect this)... His point is that everyone's complaining "my car got stolen from miranda car park along with the 20,000 other imports this month and the police won't do anything and the shopping centre won't help, blah, blah, blah... who's gotten off their arse and taken affirmative action to rectify the situation?

Before I go on, I'm not trying to reflect negatively on anyone other than the people stealing the cars so please read this with an open mind. To expose the same flaws in myself I can say that the loss of my GTR set me back an amount in the vicinity of $100K over a period of around 18 months. The reasoning behind this is that I sought "justice" and I thought (being a little ignorant I suppose) that the legal system would provide that... how wrong this opinion actually is...

The police can't do anything because political correctness, the power of minorities and the law itself place so many limitations on the powers of justice that they have become nothing more than glorified desk-top administrators for the most part (again people - open mind and listen to the message, avoid jumping to negative defence here)

The law is absolutely useless because, in my opinion, it's written and controlled by some of the most corrupt people society has to offer and there are countless loop-holes that mean, no matter how hard you push, how honest you are and how legitimate your claim... justice and the law have nothing (or, at best, very little to say the least) to do with each other.

If you want to bitch on a forum, get an alarm, put in some kill switches and (if you can afford it), get insurance (I know, it costs a fkn fortune and it’s a joke but at least you’re covered and you’re not spending $100K in 18 months that you don’t have!)

If you want something done about the problem then, as GTST was pointing out… you need to take smart action over the mediums available and force a change in society for the better. Saying “let’s get together and bash them” is idiodic… how bout trying “let’s get together as a respectable organised group and work out how we’re going to take action to prevent the loss of so many people’s pride and joy”?? The obvious start is to discuss areas where there is a high volume of thefts and advise people in the car community to avoid these areas... the options are endless…

There’s my rant for the day it’s kinda long but hey, I haven’t really posted much since the loss of my car so consider it 2 years worth of posts in one hit.

Cheers,

Dave.

thats f**ked im not from sydney all its going to take is for someone one day to catch some thiefing bastard and give them a belting of there life and then its going to be on tv and everything and maybe some of the thiefs might be extra careful..

That's happened before and it doesn't work... I know indirectly of one person that did pretty much this and now THEY are in gaol... not the theif.

from one of the threads b4 it concern that middle easten apperance with gold car

i work in miranda myself, and the security, trolly boy and clearner are most middle easten appearance as well

do u think they r involved?

^ who knows mate!!

I use to work at westfield too.. For two years or so!! Those security guards weree still there, nothing happened like it is now!!

At times i use to park my skyline till 11pm (not in security) p and they use to be walking around etc

so dont assume its them just yet, unless you have some proof

That happened at Maquarie Car park years ago, A mate of mine with a done up laser parked his car and went to see a movie with his GF. When he came back out, his car was on blocks, everything gone, including a large amount of engine parts. The security said they saw nothing and the police never worked it out till 2 years later, when they caught the group and 2 of the security guards were involved.

    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
