hehe i worked in shops at liverpool westfields from 1996 til 2002

i worked at the movies on late shift from 1999-2002

the amount of people that would come out from the movie, go into the carpark, then come back in and tell us their car was gooone or broken into was huge

shocker of a carpark

avoid it

At any car event, drift, drag, show, etc.

It seems where ever there are car enthusiests there will be a matching number of arseholes to fu(k with your car while its in the car park :P

.

Outside UTS Library in the city,

my old pulsar got the back window kicked in and my dad's car got keyed there,

another night i was there saw, a car without number plates or badges must have heaps of enemies

in the Kensington outside or around UNSW my friend's 200sx got keyed really bad top to bottom, and he lives around that area.

*newcastle*

don't park at hoyts my old civic had tyres slashed, anywhere in town especially on fri and sat nights, windale, glendale cinemas, heard lotsa problems from them, and shopiing centres, i hate people who park to closethen dint your doors trying to get out whilst there is a mile of room on the other side of the car, just move the ****ing thing godamnit

Couple of weeks ago I saw "DIE YOU YUPPIE SCUM" spraypainted all over the front bonnet & windscreen of a boring falcon.. probably a shitey 95 model or something.. of course this was in melbourne, practically across the road from housing dept flats.. hate to think what they'd do to a Skyline or HPV.

I've seen a fair few people park outside housing dept flats down here (nice GTRs and all).. crazy melbournites!

I never park anywhere near the general public in shopping centres, always park in the rain/on the top and as far away from the shop entrance as possible.. otherwise I come back to a new scratch every time..

Definately wouldn't park anywhere in Surrey Hills in Sydney, after living there for a few years a while back.

At any car event, drift, drag, show, etc.
That's actually where I feel the safest when parking with a large volume of other cars. I don't have any issues parking at EC, WSID, Oran Park, Summernats, etc.

Have had small things happen at events such as badging/scratching (drift event) & a random assortment of shyte left on my car (road signs, beer bottles, etc at the Summernats).

If I think about the more serious stuff such as breakins & theft I would say UWS Kingswood Reso's carpark was terrible & Camperdown Memorial Park is bad for older/easier to steal cars. Theft attepts were made on my Torry & my nan's '82 323 while parked there.

Sumernats for sure not a great place to park esp since your not in ear shot of your alarm and even if you are its too loud usually to hear anything else.

In canberra bad places to park.. there are so many!! Ummm.. the braddon car parks (esp the ones past maccas) the amount of cars i see that get scratched, broken into or moved up there (i.e onto gutters), in good ol' qbn bad places are karabah, outside the sop station believe it or not and near any parks.

Macquarie Shopping centre in Sydney

Unless it's the front section which leads onto McDonalds, I wouldn't bother with Mac. Centre.

Burwood Westfields is fulla Swedes and there's heaps of imports being ripped for parts.

The main Burwood Rd. is fine but the whole area is a defect zone as it is.

Summernats is a not a good time for any Japanese car.

T.

What is this about swedes? Your not talking about swedish people?

Yeah im kind of new here...

Yeah liverpool westfields is pretty dodgy, too many habibs waiting out the front of the entrance looking to do some mischief.

dude maybe they just dont want your car

nah seriously I go to Burwood almost every weekend. Sunday lunch time and sometimes one night during the week to get a movie. I park on the bottom level (usually near the cinema entrance). So far I've been ok. Even in dodgey places like Maq Centre.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
