Kahli he means that making your door handle electric is not allowed, and ones the cops find out that you did it, then they're gonna ram you up the ass in a metaphorical sense (hence the lube reference).

I was watching discovery channel one time about making a car bullet proof/hijack proof/bomb proof etc etc.

They had like self sealing fuel tank, self sealing tires, bullet proof glass/doors, all this crazy stuff and they also made the door handles shock whoever tried to open them when the car is running/driving/whatever.

But of course, this was a government vehicle.

Just get a quick release steering wheel, once they see there is no wheel, would they even bother trying to get in? But I suppose these are defectable...

Shame all those things add a lot of weight and reduce the amount of fuel you can fit in the tank.

bright as fark alarm indicator on the dash, visible club lock, park it in front of another car if you dont have a garage to put it in, (additionally, park the drivers door real close to a wall and hop out the passenger side, then park another car behind it), remove fuel pump and ignition relays.

Stupid Bas*ards!

They will get whats coming to them just wait..

I remember not too long ago my cousin who has an R33 GT-R, had his car attemted to be stolen, although he has an alarm system which alerts his keys aswell or the remote on the keys.

These two as* holes where trying to brake into it in whilst it was in his garage.

My cousin caught them red handed and made them wait in his garage with a little persuasion from a little something...

whilst he got on the phone and lets just say he didn't call the cops to come over.

A few hours later they left and sure as hell were never gonna attempt to steal his car again, for that matter i dont think they will steal any car after what happened to them lmao.. Try and imagine.. haha

Basic aim of this is car thieves know how precious a persons car is to them and when they attempt to do things like that they should be dealt with in a way not involving the police..

hmm :bunny: well

Thieving = breaking the law

Police = enforce the law

i think police should really deal with them? Coz now your cousin has also broken the law, im guessing by

-unlawful detainment

-assault

etc.

I see your point, but i dont think being a macho man and beating the crap out of some deadbeat means your car isnt going to get touched again, i'd rather keep a clean record and not have cops see an assault charge when they pull me over and check my license.

I hate the fact you gotta do that kinda stuff just to keep your car safe.

I can't enjoy anything anymore while I'm out. All I think about is if someones either stealing it or reversed into it. I remember the first day I got it registered, I came back home and there were four sctratches from someone hitting troleys n things into it.

damo, id like to see you keep your calm if you busted someone red handed tryin to break into

the 34 :bunny:

bye the time the popo finish there doughnut and waddle there ass to your place,.

your car will be in a million peices and cheap parts will be advertised in ns.com :)

i dont condone nor support actions like that, but unfortunately, as has been said, the police rarely if ever do anything about people damaging and stealing peoples cars, so they really arent a great option to call upon.

you can pick a cop hater a mile away, i love how no one ever says anything about good cops, but theres a 20 page discussion if a thread comes up about a cop being an ass. A cop is just the first step, if they get caught, they go before a magistrate, but you don't hear anyone bagging out magistrates for their poor sentences. I agree that the police are unfair at times, ill be the first to admit that. And effort is rarely shown at the scene of an attempted car theft, such as not taking prints or following up. The sad thing is, there are SOOOO many car jackings/ attempted thefts in Adelaide, if the police spent all their time tracking them all down, people would whinge about police not out on the beat in public area, or not arresting real criminals.

Oh and Craig, you have seen me, if i caught someone trying to steal my car, id lose the fight, so why bother. I try my very hardest to keep my car out of situations where it could be stolen, like at home, my car is alarmed and immobilised in front of my mums astra, which is in front of a locked roller door, with my dads toyota hilux behind it, and a big f**k off heavy double locked sliding gate out the front.

my 9 yen.

your size doesnt even come into it in a situation like that though, you walk into that, and you have no idea what they could be carrying. its not impossible that one or more of who ever is trying to jack your car has a gun, a knife, or is otherwise armed, smartest thing to do is simply call the police.

i should probably rephrase my previous post aswell, im not saying that its all down to the police, but when nothings happening and you can sit around and think, the lack of action taken is very disappointing, and it makes the idea of vigilantism appealing. even if there are too many car jackings and thefts to keep track of on a day to day basis.

i think the magistrate are very fair and reasnoble :bunny:, its the laws behind them that need to be changed

im gonna stick by street justice cause i know the police wont do anything..........even if they manage to catch the people its a slap on the wrist. so id rather slap em around a lil and send them on there way :)

lol Rhys i hope you are joking about the magistrate comment, they are the ones letting off these repeat offenders with warnings, following the news lately theres only been 1 story about a magistrate who handed out a fair decision.

    • Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

    • I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
    • Luckily I didn't put in etch primer as I just found out it's not compatible with my body filler lol. Also just need to sand the panel anywhere between 150-400 grit so I'm in the clear there. It does say to not apply to soft old paint, I assume that means paint that is flaking, peeling,etc
    • @dbm7 and @GTSBoy thank you both very much! will give that a shot!
