finally, they're doing something about it...

just saw it on the news, 400 police this morning set out to make arrests, south west of sydney... for rebirthing cars. Wonder how many of these are skylines.. they mentioned that some of the cars were car jacked..

Was my S14 200sx - sad to see it go, but the insurance paid for a much nicer nissan! Heard from QLD police 18months later - it had turned up on the Gold Coast - must have been a hell of a holiday for the old girl!

Was 100% as it left me, and on to it's second owner - but they got the bloke who originally sold it- haven't caught the ones that stole it (yet).

Now have tracking alarms on both cars - won't happen again. The factory immobiliser obviously didn't give them any trouble....

Sure DLuded, but did you ever wonder, when the cops are after crims, who has time to defect cars? I hope RTA inspectors can help out, coz we can't afford to have commonwhores all over the country loosing at the traffic lights.

it really doesnt bother me to see crappy cars like that driving around (because i have a crappy LOUD car and i dont want to get caught). anyway i would prefer to see cops actually doing something useful then being wasted on defecting cars. all that money wasted on police equipment and its being used to defect car...not worth it

Well said. :)

Ha,Ha,,, they got 23 scumbags today and heaps of evidence of others involved,,,,,,Bankstowns such a lovely place,,,,lots of Panel Shops got raided as well as 2 Warehouses. Some got court with stolen boats as well. Others were stealing new cars and stripping them for parts.

I thought something was going on this morning,,,next to no cop cars at Bankstown Cop Station when I walked past at 7.00am. I'll ask the head copper next time I see him ,,he sometimes stands outside sucking on a Cig.

hope this really cuts back on the car thefts and car jacks.... for awhile anyway.

Insurance companies must be happy knowing where all their funds went.

Would really be interested to know how many of these cars are skylines or other grey imports. They mentioned most were 'exotic' cars... are skylines classed as that.. or is that an understatement.. muahaha! :)

ALL I Can say is:

SUCKED IN!!!!!! :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake:

Its a bout time those bloody cops do something good instead of bullsh*t defects and petty fines. although i get mixed feelings when i remember that the money from all the defects and fines helped to fund that bust. At least it was for a good cause.

if so it just confirms how some guys in the south west are funding their Bemmer convertables and M3's........

Actually, you'd be very surprised to find out exactly how much money these guys get from their parents.......

They act all big & tough, but 99% of them would have absolutely no chance of surviving without their mum & dad.........

MR CRX was the "workshop" that was raided? can anyone 100% confirm this or is it simply another rumour.

I just read the heral and sounds like performance workshops, car yards and mroe were involved.... they mentioned no skylines however found containers with WRX's etc and showed a shot on the news of a inside a workshop with a WRX with big FMIC in full view...

Sounds like the carjacking saga might be coming to a close *hopefully*

I know the above workshop is in bankstown and cops said they found a container FULL of parts outside the un named workshop and seized over 35 cars...

    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
    • I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option 
    • You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)
    • I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.
    • Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
