I hate this stuff.. In the year i've had my car i have seen someone hit it while it was parked in a car park, luckily i got the details. Had dents put in the roof by god knows what. The other week walked back to my car to find someone had reversed into it denting the number plate and cracking the paint. Did some door knocking but no one saw anything. I have hence dubbed it the shit magnet.

saw a couple of 15 yearolds once key someones car cus they couldn't joyride it because it had an alarm/imobiliser in it so it was to hard to brake in, held them there till the cops showed up, and the cops were like is the parents that are going to have to pay for the damage, i would have loved to kick their asses before the cops got there if i knew they would get off that easy.

there's no respect for peoples property these days

My car was keyed twice, on friday and last night saturday in an underground residential parking lot.

If this sh!t happens again, it's looking very much like one of the residents.

You haven't bumped into anyone in the corridor?

Have a suspect, wat do?

Do you have an alternative "safer" car parking spot avail.?

Does he (assuming a he) have a nice car?

If he has a nice car and yours is parked elsewhere, you can lean on it, have lunch on it and he'll feel the persecution! > get insomnia > blood pressure rises > cardiac arrest > red carnation on his coffin compliments of MRSAMO.

move your car somewhere else, and whoever parks there after you is probably the person who keyed your car- if your absolutely sure that it was the parking that was the issue. then slash tyres.

i agree, move the car in a clearly visible location but i disagree with the slash tires comment as the ass that did this to your car may be away and someone else uses the spot, you would make things worse with the locals or worse get caught, try talk to the tenants there, see if they had similar issues and see if anyone suspects someone, most times u will find an old lady that has nothing better to do than spy on her neighbor, with a bit of luck you might be able to park near her view so you can get free surveillance ..lol

    • I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?
    • Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?
    • So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good
    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
