Serious? Again!? Last week a couple cars got broken into, 1x car that was stolen was ditched there sitting in the middle of the road in the car park and 1x car got stolen with another 1 or 2 they couldnt start so just caused the usual attempted damages(window, hole in panel/rooted lock, ignition).

and the TAFE car park is definitely NOT safe... cars there are sitting ducks waiting to be stolen... unfortunate but true.

When i was regency tafe a mates car got stolen and a nother come out to find a asian guy running of from his car of with one mag wheel sitting on the ground.Tafe said they put camras up but they got stolen aswell. Iv been told its ppl from a drop in center up the road from tafe.

i was there 2day when it happened :) organizing gun license (it could help lol)

as i pulled in there was bout 10 ppl there standing around a red car, that was in the middle of the carpark with door open.

i parked next to a nice 33 though, but yeh thats not the point it is gettin stupid.

as i pulled out though there were a few ppl sittin on the other side of the road watchin everyone pull in and out. bit spooky.

Lock ur cars ppl n use steering wheel locks. i got one and no matter where i go it is always on when im not there.

dont worry bout wat other ppl say like "it will be fine" no it wont, u cant take a chance these days

I must say my paranoia has gone down dramatically in recent times. Remember 4-6 months ago there were at least two threads a week relating to stolen skylines. Hope I'm not speaking too soon but at least that seems to have quietened down, maybe some of them scumbags got arrested.

In reply to the first post, yes there are scum bags everywhere.

So cars are getin stolen from there then people are saying exactly what cars are been parked there.....not to smart ^

Whos the smart one here? The random stranger who sees such a great car and telling others about how one saw such a car how sick it is etc..... OR the owner of the car parking at such a high theft risk area. :pirate:

That is a good question though.

Is there anywhere safe to park your car? escpially in town on a fri / sat night. are there any car parks with good security?

Normally I take my daily in to town and use that as my car security system :pirate:

thats just rediculous, doesnt regency tafe have security guards walking around? a few of the other tafes have them walking around the carparks.

They have 2 but both are thick as shit

I used to always take my daily to tafe and park near the frount door but it used to suck on fridays after tafe couldnt show of for the boys lol Do they still have that prob with ppl laying rubber?

i got attacked in the other car park at that tafe and the tafe tried to tell me its not their property therefore they cant do anything :D it does however have tafe signs located around everywhere u park your car there.

but yeah anyways fortunately i won that fight and the police had a bit more to say about it than the tafe :P

RiverBank Carpark near Adelaide Convention center as it has a good CCTV and even Better Security with Dogs :D LvL 3 is the best to park on at the westen end as it has 2 CCTVs and is alos near the car park attendent

I live in the Ferryden Park area and the edit *insert ethnic minority here* running around here are thieving bastards. My car is securely locked up, club locked, and a baseball bat near the door at the ready! A two way alarm gets installed this weekend. Try and steal it mother farkers!

If you go driving around a car that screams "look at me, steal me!" then it will eventually happen. Only YOU are responsible for the security of your car. Security guards and CCTV will only 'watch' your ride get stolen. As my biker mates say, "harden the bollocks up" and do what needs to be done to protect your ride.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
