I parked at uni today a whole hour, came back to my car, and someone had ripped my dash apart, again, and stolen my stereo, again. this is the last time i buy a bloody good stereo, they keep getting stolen!!! i had only just repaired the damage done to my dash surround from the last time someone stole it, and now it's all smashed again! i had my car booked in to get a new alarm installed on thursday as well!

is there something wrong with my car, or am i doomed to always have my stereos stolen?

ANU, just over on North Oval. i've parked there plenty of times before, no dramas. it's not secluded or anything, they must have known exactly what to do. i hate to say it but i'm hating having a skyline right now, too much attention from the wrong sort of people (theives and cops)

yeah it had a detachable face, but i was only going to be there an hour, so i didn't bother to remove it. they got my stereo, all the parts that goes with it, my CB radio and my new shoes i just bought... luckily i left all my CDs inside. it just shits me because my alarm had recently died, and i was about to get a new one installed... so shitty

ah crap.

Terminal, I gotta say, your car looks wicked. absolutely gorgeous. Saw it in the carpark just the other day and it's REALLY impressive.

BUT IT STICKS OUT LIKE A SORE THUMB. Most of the cars around uni are crappy old bangers. I mean, I have a fairly crummy stereo, and remember leaving my window open all day and no one took anything. that's 'cause it's an innocent little pulsar (still love it though).

the have-nots and slime buckets of this world will go for it because it looks so damn good. and they don't care how you feel. these are the same f*ckwits who bash the side of your car when they open their doors. i have heard many hair-raising stories about jealousy etc. and can say that it may well even be someone you speak to regularly!

as for north oval, i park my pulsar there but would never park my line there. about three years ago my gf at the time had her crappy '83 pulsar broken into over there. you know what they nicked? her battery!!! her #%#@ battery! it wasn't even new! it's a veritable whitman's assortment for car thieves, that place (as is any carpark like that i think).

also, i gotta say, i really think it's possible that thieves and that are reading this very forum to find out where we park our cars (i'd say a wrx forum would be even worse). call me paranoid?

anyway sorry to hear about it mate. here's hoping we catch someone like that in the act though, yeah? rip THEM a new dashboard.

nah, i only park at North Oval, or sometimes on Bolderwood St.

thanks sigsputnik, i try to keep it looking good, but it's a stuggle at the moment. i've got a 400R bar i'm getting ready to put on in about a week, then just need a general clean and regular maintenance and i'm going to be selling it. it's not going on the market until i have it back to 100% though.

I've gotten all the parts from Just Jap being sent down next week, only $370, so i'm not too dissapointed with that. would have been nice if it wasn't smashed.

My mates suggested getting a rotty actually, but then my car would stink of dog.

i was thinking of hooking up some sort of electric shock to the handle or lethal injection in the seat if the system wasn't turned off.... it's still in development though :)

    • If there's enough meat in the housing where you want to put the M12 adapter, then do it, but be aware that if/when you f**k that up you'll probably be repairing it before doing anything else. I'd just drill it out and tap ina 1/4" thread. No need for rocket surgery when the next most obvious thing will do. You could throw a 1/4 x 1/8 bush in there and use the same fitting you intended to use.
    • Is the only issue that the oil catch can is getting filled on hard runs? I'd be thinking more about oil control issues rather then the head lifting, especially as you aren't seeing spiking in the coolant pressure.  Do you need restrictors in the head, or better drains from the head? Does the sump need venting to the catch can?
    • Tried to make 1/8npt threads into compressor house of the turbo for my EBC. Threads got fu#ked and ended up with and elongated hole, so I do have good amount and nice threads 90% of the hole but 10% I only had 1-2threads there and rest of it is flush on that side of the hole.. So my idea is to do M12 x 1.25 to AN4 with braided lines instead of 1/8npt to 4mm vacuum silicone hose.  and hopefully get a better thread. M12 is quite big and AN4 is a little bit bigger than 4mm (4.9mm inner diameter braided PTFE hose). but this should work. Thoughts? Otherwise I will weld and adapter onto the turbo.   
    • Looks great, I hope everything is working well after all that time!
