If there's any truth to that story it will be a matter of time before they take the wrong persons car and end up six feet under. That's if the bodies are ever found.

Nothing surprises me in the northern/north western suburbs however;)

I go around making these stories up to look cool :P

At the end of the day it ain't a funny matter truth yes they will most likely target the wrong car at the WRONG time and have to deal with a very in happy customer ... Cuz lets face it some just don't let go with out a ....

And the guys stealing the cars don't give a f**k either. Why do you think these guys give a f**k if they come across the wrong person? When you're smoking that much puff you don't give a f**k about anything. Take for example a friend of a friend's car got stolen, they went round to their house (same dream boats stealing cars in the area) and waited outside with a full car load. These guys coming down the street see them in a stolen car they were cruising in and rammed the f**k out of the car lol.

Is it seriously worth getting yourself in shit the bacon for these sad cases? When my car got stolen i was ready to go f**k these guys up, but after i calmed down i realised it's not worth getting locked up over these losers. Also you might know some "wrong people" but are they really going to risk attracting more heat to them over a 10-20k car that isn't even theirs? Think about it lol.

The only real way to stop them is to lock these sad f**ks up, however we know why that never happens :whistling:

Really sorry to hear all the bad news with guys havin their cars stolen and not gettin em back!! Dat sucks. I live in Sydenham and Im shocked to see that Im in the targeted area!

Did the cars that were stolen have alarms?

Im guessin to get them on a flat bed theyd have to pick up the rear so the car would roll, would reversing up to a gutter or curb b some preventative action?

My mates 180sx Type X recently got stolen from in front of his house in Bulleen, and another of my friend's Rx7 got stolen from in front of his house in Doncaster East. Looks like the eastern suburbs aren't safe either! My suggestions and they're obvious ( :P ), lock your car up on every occasion every night in a locked garage, lock your steering wheel with one of those 80's/90's style locks, make sure you have an immobiliser installed, sleep inside your garage with a shotgun and one eye open ;)

....and maybe the not so obvious, don't advertise the car/s you own in pictures/comments on webpages that can easily and publicly identify you such as facebook, AND take caution if you notice someone following you home. This last point probably wont apply to your average Joe driving a battered gtst, but for more expensive cars it probably will. A good friend of mine who drives super expensive cars (in the order of $700,0000 - $800,000 each) has been followed home on numerous occasions though luckily he noticed and pulled into random streets and got away. Who knows, maybe some kids who just wanted to gawk at his cars, perhaps they wanted to steal them? Food for thought....

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By 25zenki · Posted

      I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off.

      I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.

      Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
