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!. :(

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.

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.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
