driving home about 1:20am.. going through dandenong at the time, passed a white VR/VS commondore with 4 young guys in it... went around the corner, train lights were on, stopped, saw them coming behind me, passenger rear door opening, guy gets out about 20-22yo, white, no shirt, with a crowbar of some description starts waking towards my car... without even thinking , slammed it in reverse and gave it some gas (luckly no cars behind me), drove back about 10meters, he got back in the car, i sat there about 10meters behind waiting for them to go after the train was gone.... that was my scare for the night..

i didn't do anything to agrevate it... i overtook them (dual lane road) not being a smart ass or anything, didn't look or anything etc...

got his rego

will the cops do anything if i tell them about this - being threatened etc?

the more i think about it the more i wish i just got out of my car with my clublock and just tell him if he's going to touch me or my car he must be as dumb as he looks since i have his rego and his description...

really not sure if he would of done anything to me/my car.. i had 1 passenger...

very wound up right now... farkn FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

what would you have done?

what should i do now?

I can find out where he lives from his rego... but i dunno...

With 4 guys in the car and a crow bar you did the best thing....

you may have not got hurt or had confrontation but if you did you may have got hurt or your car damaged.

if he was on his own well you might consider it better off just driving off and dealing with him in other means .

Uuuuhm, sometimes it best to swallow a little pride & just walk away. In hindsight you may have done the right thing, personally I doubt it coz the thugs will probably have not learnt their lesson & do it to someone else. I doubt you'll have any success with the cops.

yeah, i did see a cop car on the side of the princess hwy about 2-3ks after it happened trying to get people speeding... was considering pulling over and telling him but figured he'd probably just try to defect me instead of chasing the guy....

now i've had time to think about it, i guess i did do the right thing, me and my car are untouched.. thats what counts...

would of been a much cooler story if i got out with my club lock tho :rofl:

just be thankful they didnt have a sawn off (they probably did)

people get car jacked every day

they just hang around waiting for oportunities to present themselves

as for being a cooler story if you'd gotten out of you car with a club lock - we'd pobably have seen your corpse on the 6oclock news.

ahah just mention it might be defectable, cops will be there in no time!

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
