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.

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
