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.

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.

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.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Yea, that is what I was getting at in my ramblings too. The nismo one actually is a 1.5 way and a 1 way. They don't do a *2* way because a true *2* way would have equal ramp angles. Or is that a true 1.5 way? Realistically I think a "1.5 way" does not actually exist. A diff can either lock in two directions or one. It also doesn't help that a LOT of people in Australia speak about 1.5 way diffs are referring to their 1 way diff.

      Nismo GT Pro LSD configurations

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.
