So, I get up this morning to find the Chaser on the street exactly how I left it last night, with the exception of the rear window, which was strewn all over the parcel shelf and rear seat. Some investigation revealed a couple of marbles under the car, so I'm thinking slingshot. Insurance were great: "go get it fixed yourself, but we're here to help!" bastards.

The MINIMUM wait for new glass was qutoed as at least 6 weeks, from the only company that was willing to commit to an estimated time. However, I am waiting for a couple of import wreckers/parts shops to get back to me, so hopefully it will be sooner.

My Legnum is still at customs, so there's a good 2-3 weeks to go before it's on the road, which means Peta will get the stagea, because she needs to get to work. All this means that I'm stuck at home without any transport AGAIN! Assuming the Legnum only takes 2 weeks, I've been without a car for over 7 weeks already this year, and I own 3!

It's not the cost of the replacement screen that really gets me (although I suspect it will be substantial), nor the extended waiting times, as this is part of having a more rare car. It's the fact that it was all intentional that drives me mad: I am SO pissed off right now, I can't even describe it. Filthy scumbag assholes: if I could ever find them... But that's just it, isn't it: you never do.

As always, the police were pleasantly useless, although I guess you can't expect them to park out the front of your house all night (...CAN you??)...

That's my rant for the day: I'm not chasing sympathy (save that for poor Muz - he really has it hard), I just feel better having a good rant.

Of course, if anyone has a spare JZX100 rear window lying around...

That give me the shits. I left my old R33 at a mates place one night in Albury because I figured it would be safer than leaving in town, the next morning it had a huge key mark down the side, matching the rest of the cars in the street too. some punk walked the entire street keying cars that night. damn it pissed me off.

Man, my neighbourhood is really going downhill: Last week, I watched to kids - late teens/early 20's get off a bus outside my place, and tag it as it drove off: casual as you like in broad daylight... Now this.

Vigilante action, anyone?

feel for you man... you didnt seem too thrilled today!

Id say it was just a random thing that a couple of kids did as they were walking home, i doubt your car was targeted. Good thing about that is that they probably go past frequently enough that you will probably see em go past agian at some stage. So if you see a couple of kids go past, knock em out and go through their bags. If you find a slingshot, tie em to a tree and use it...

the dude with the doggy avatar...

what the hell is a "lolcat"?

i saw another ridiculous avatar once with a pic of a cat. and it said "i are serious cat. this is serious thread."

are the two related in some way?

thats shit about the windscreen. last year, some fktard reversed into my 400r front bar, smashed the shit out of it, and then just drove off. i havent been able to repair it yet, since i lost my turbo and motor later that very same day...

sure makes me less apprehensive about scraping in/out of driveways though. lol.

A LOLcat is a captioned pic of a cat (usually badly spelt) and my avatar is a photo of my own dog taking teh piss of said LOLcats.

see http://icanhascheezburger.com/ for examples.

And now I have a legitimate one to keep on topic.

lol, nice one Dale.

I had some prick smash the little qtr window in my Starlet GT once, bloody hard to find a new one.

So your without transport for 7 weeks. That is not cool. I can have an Aristo or and Autech to your door in 7 days :blink:

Try RMS parts for your window, they seem to carry a fair bit of auto glass.

thats pretty f**ked about your car champ.

I remember when i just had my s14 resprayed (black with pearl toning) some asshole keyed the back quaterpanel.

I would love to catch one of these f**ks in action, and love to just chuck a ski mask on and throttle them until i cant move my arms.

glass would suck just as bad, and yeah insurance is always great for that kinda response aint they

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).

      street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
