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.

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
