Alright. School holidays are just ending now.

So what do the little shits decide to do in the middle of the night? Why this time they decide to pry every single badge off my pride and joy.

The two cool GT badges on quarter panel, the stupid S on the bonnet (why? its in 2 pieces and looks shit) and for good measure snap the nissan tag off the boot (again why?).

No doubt to collect dust in their draw full of badges of cars they probably cant even drive yet.

Mid year holidays they decide to spray stupid tags on the front wall of my house, and as an extra bonus spray the bonnets of every car parked outside.

So anyway, ive dropped by the cop shop, who have given me lip service to call me if they pick anyone up; but unfortunately im at the tail end of their little crime spree so they'll be back at school tomorrow.

Anyway, just let me blow off a little steam. They are only cosmetic, and im thankful they didnt do anything major to the car..

hb/ :pissed:

man all i can say is that sux... dude if i was you and i found who they were dont bother telling the cops they wont do anything teach them a lesson your self all the cops will do is say "thats very wrong dont do it again" as if they will care....

take it easy dude and go shopping today get yourself some new fresh badges sounds like you may have needed them anyway..

I went to the cops when my badges got stolen, although they didnt catch the kids that did it (not that i expected them to), i still reckon everyone should bother telling the police about it.

Perhaps if everyone tells the cops when their badges get nicked, next time you get pulled over it could be the cop you dealt with or else they may cut you some slack because "you import drivers always get your badges stolen, ill let you off this time..." etc..

hahaha...........i dont think so rhett.

More like "Oooo, goodie import driver, LETS REAM HIM!"

Crap to hear about your badges though, have you got a knock sensor on your alarm, if so set it to super sensetive so that bird poo will set it off, just during the holidays though. That way you might be able to get the rat bastards.

xRHETTx

Mate yea thats all very good but as the other guys have said the cops will still just say "Oooo, goodie import driver, LETS REAM HIM!" and even worse than that... telling them where you are so they know where to come looking for you is not such a good idea...

talking to cops was going to be a waste of time. i just wanted to vent off at someone.. on the off chance that perhaps they did question someone.

im assuming its kids. i dont think drunks would choose to rape my car so well. more likely to piss on it or somit.

im over the badge incident. thankful they didnt smash some glass to rummage through it.

im still convinced there is no legitmate reason for punks to be out after 11. they usually have no money, arnt allowed to drink. cops should just nab them, and ask their parents to explain what they are doing.

and yes, i was young once, so i know exactly what they get up to =)

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
