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.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
