This morning i go outside to see that my brother's VL parked in the gutter out the front of our house had the two wheels facing onto the road stolen with the car sitting on blocks of wood.

I live on a quiet little court in Narre Warren, its just hard to imagine people doing this.

Lucky they didnt touch the Skyline haha.

But damn some people just suck.

(end rant)

My parents have the garage, and my car gets the driveway coz its worth more haha.

So sadly his gets relegated to the street.

Its hard to think how people do this right in front of your house.

Sux that that had to happen. i once had one of my cars parked right against the house really late one night and some fool broke in and ripped out Subs,amps ,stereo the lot. Was making his last trip back to his getaway vehicle when some neighbours around the corner decided to come over for drinks. Said fool did the bolt for it but we did a search and found an unknown hectic car parked in the next street. Police were called and we just waited outside of his car until he came back whimpering and apologizing making BS excuses not to call the cops as he has a sick mother at home ....blah blah... Too late junior ..Cops are on their way. He got charged and had to pay for the reinstallation of all of my stuff.

Good to know not all of them get away with it :P

I dont get why he only stole 2 and not the whole 4. He must have been sprung by somebody and had to ditch the theft halfway through. I would be asking neighbours if any suspicious cars or persons were sighted in the vicinity.

Well it was parked right up against the gutter so im thinking maybe it was too hard for them to get to the other two.

We spoke to some neighbours; the man next door said he heard something around 4am like a clanging noise, and told his wife but she said dont worry about it and he went back to sleep.

Ironic thing is the night before that i was out for a mates 21st and i got home about 4am, had it been one night later maybe i could have caught them in the act =[

Theyre Derros.

Anyway, your brother should have thought of investing in 1 or 2 pairs of lock nut sets. No matter where you live, shit like this can and will happen

that sucks man :D

so many people which are so inconsiderate of others and their property.. its getting out of hand :(

Tonight i was on my way to work down bell street and watched this f**king wanker in a commodore swerving in and out of each lane and being a royal cockhead. this guy literally thought he was michael schumacher and ayrton senna's love child.

then all of a sudden 'bang' he runs straight into the back of a subaru liberty.

the subaru goes down the side street to exchange details and just as the traffic moves the commodore (with 3 ppl inside) floors it and takes off into the traffic.

WELL GUESS WHAT BUDDY - called up the TMU and gave them his rego etc.

I hope this guy gets f**ked up.

If someone did a hit and run on my car - id be furious - i just hope the person in the subaru was okay.

well done bro, I would hate that to be done to me, hope those dykeheads get shyted on

^ I've had a hit and run done on me. Drunk driver ran up the back of my pride and joy first car, 4 months into my P plates. Steps out of his piece of shit car with a can of bourbon in his hand, trying to pass it off as both our fault and wanting to shake hands / walk away. As soon as I mentioned getting the cops to sort it out, he got in his car and drove off. The guy got away with it too, even though I had his numberplates. Apparently cops don't do shit unless someone was injured in the accident. Constable f**kface had the guys details on screen but couldn't give me them because of the Privacy Act, instead offering to write out a report after his 2 week holiday starting tomorrow. Apparently it's up to your insurance company or a solicitor to take care of a "civil" matter. RACV didn't want to know about it until they had won their court case allowing them to use number plates to track down hit and runs. No less than a year later I get a phone call from RACV telling me they had won their case and could proceed with my hit and run claim. Unfortunately I had written off the car before then so there was no point and/or evidence. I'll never forget the number plates; SDP-177. Car is now deregistered (according to the Vicroads website) so I'll never catch the guy. Hypothetically if I did I would make him bleed, on concrete, alot.

Hate to say it but that Commodore driver will probably get away with it unless the Subaru owner wrote down his plates, or the TMU match up your information to the Subaru accident report and give it to them.

Notice to everyone: if you're involved in a hit and run, try and have an injury. Even if you have to feign it...or the police will tell you where to go.

In short and on topic, it's quite common that people don't give a shit about you and/or your property.

Narre Warren, say no more :D

Id be looking at neighbours if your in a court, perhaps a mate of a neighbour saw the car \ wheels and thought they would come back for the goods.

Unfortunately there are more and more dodgy people around that area, it is unfortunate that he could not park it in a garrage.

Id almost put money that they are now the front wheels of a commodore with stockies on the back, however there are alot of those in your area :)

Reading some of these stories really gets the blood boiling. My uncle was in a crappy situation once, was in the preston market carpark and some woman backed right out hitting him on the passenger side doors. He gets out to exchange insurance information and she begins abusing him, he gets out his mobile to call the police and she immediately says "you see, your on your mobile when you drive im gonna tell the police." The woman then simply drives off shouting racial insults.

Was a......you guessed it big boat of a ford falcon; needless to say he took the plate number and reported it to police and insurance company.

my 2cents (story form)

when I was on my p's a few years ago, staying at my gf's place I hear this loud as phuk crash out front like 6am. go out to inspect and my beloved (back then) vs commy is now the size of a barina from being squashed between the tree i was parked behind on a nature strip and some old like ea falcon. turns out the driver was

1. drunk

2. suspended liscence

3. no insurance

4.a bogan

I got his details and i knew they were right cos the cops had the same ones that they checked on the spot, got my car valued and he agreed to pay me out. met with him 3 weeks later he gives me cash (must have got a loan or sumthin dilligaf)

i wrote him a reference for his court case a week later :)

everyone i knew couldnt believe that he paid up, so i spose it depends on individuals morals at the end of the day

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
