I was driving home yesterday after picking my sister up from the city, on Canterbury Rd (bit before my street) some 2 wankers of ethnic decent (have a guess) decided to put some white paint on the road. I didn't have enough time to react and drove over it. When I got home (1 minute away) I took a look and there's all this white paint all on the bottom and behind my tyres. Basically the entire lower half had speckles of white paint! On my 10 day old R32! :P

Who the fck does sh!t like this? seriously? I'm so pissed off right now.

I called the cops last night in the hope they would do something (not sure if they did but I heard sirens going off and then stopping near by), anyway I'm gonna make an official complaint now! Gonna have to get this detailed or something like that!. :(

hey cereal.....man that sucks big time... i know how you feel I have taken my r33 out twice to the mean fiddler(rouse hill) and it was in the first week i got my car. both time i found a new dent in the passenger side door.

as they say"Jealousy is a curse"

mind the spelling.

Its important to get it off quickly, try polishing it off with a cloth and some mild cutting compound. A good detail should take care of it if you are busy. The faster you get it off the more likely you are to get rid of it all.

So you saw them tip the paint on the road in front of you?

and you didn't follow them or call the cops immediately? or get their license plate number?

I seriously doubt you'd be able to make any vandalism charge stick, unless you had an independant witness. And even if you did, because there was no accident involved I doubt the insurance companies could do anything to chase up payment from them, so I don't think they'd give you a no at fault claim.

not cool.

i saw a crazed looking 20yo lad this morning running along canterbury (i use for work every day) rd hurling objects at cars.

not really sure why he was doing it, but pretty glad my car wasn't hit. Maybe it wasn't hit cause it had 2 lads in it with a combined weight of around 500 pounds

what with these people?

Meguiers make a really good product called "paint removal" :)

I used it to get all the white taxi paint outa my when i got sideswipped, did a great job. I think its around $20 a bottle, smells nice, and can be picked up places like autobarn etc.

Even though you got wet paint compared to mine, i think it will still do a great job.

I didn't see them throw it on the road. I saw two guys standing next to paint tins laughing. Put 2 and 2 together. Unfortunately I didn't have time to go and see if they had a getaway car.

I scrubbed hard with some paint remover stuff (turps or metho) and it cleared it up (no damage to the sexy black paint) but left some white streaks. I got this cleaned at a car wash (due to water restrictions). It's mostly gone but I'm taking it to get detailed on Wednesday (earliest booking). It's not overly noticable but if you look carefully you'll be able to see it. :) :)

I did take some photos and I'll post them when they get developed.

If you didn't see them do it then you've got even less chance of getting them busted, don't waste your time.

Also, it could have been an accident but then they are just arseholes and thought it was funny to see people drive through it.

If they wanted to be REAL bastards they could have thrown it over your car instead of under it.

let see two guys standing near paint tins, laughing at car driving through wet paint.

Tell the cops you saw them.

Stuff it. They'll most likely have paint on them if they did it.

And besides, if you were just walking past, and saw this, would you stand beside the paint tins and laugh? No. I'd keep walking and hope no-one thought it was me.

Bugger it, save alot of people some money by a good assumption.

Also think about this. Some lady (your mum, sister, small family) drives through, loses control and gets killed.

Or, they brag to their mates and they start doing it on a regular basis.

Lots of things to consider.

I HATE people that wreckdamage cars. I have had my car Keyed. Cost me $400 to get it fixed. I would have broken all their fingers that held the weapon if I caught them. They'd think twice about doing it again.

sorry to hear that dude. wats got me scratchin my head is if u were only a minute away from where it happened...why didnt u just go back to confront them, take pics, or bash some heads?? i would have gone back taken some pics if they were still there...confronted them, and then have a rumble if need be:D:D:D

believe me, I wanted to run back with a pole or two and open up some whoop ass but i was more worried about the car. I've booked it into a detailer on Wednesday to get rid of the tiny bits that still remain. He's pretty confident he can get rid of it all. Also getting the stone chips on the front bar removed.

I saw 2 drunk ****s ages ago on princess highway in vic near my place breaking empty beer bottles on the road on the other side of the road while going the opposite driection. I was in a Patrol 4WD so we hopped the curve and tried to run over (scare) the 2 drunks but they ran into a park near by.

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
