Places not to leave your skylines...


Recommended Posts

I just saw something like this in the NSW section, thought it might be a good idea for us Vics to make list of the spots you wanna avoid, post your personal expriences where you or someone you know had their skylines/cars stolen or damaged...this might help not only us Vics, but some of the interstate people whom of late have been coming to Vic for work or fun...this can also be searched later on if not made sticky and perhaps save people a lot of grief...

So here i go...some of the places i avoid like the clap are Chadstone s/c(especially coles car park, most of you know why), Monash Clayton where a mates turbo Datsun 510(which i had just rebuilt :thumbsup: ) perished never to be seen again and another mates sr20 powered bluebird got broken into...

another hot spot is the Vic market which is notorious for car thefts, as well as crown car park although i must admit guilt for sometimes parking there for convinience... :Oops:

oh by the way i am not sure if this was done before, if so i will make it disappear.. :ufo:

Anywhere you can't keep your eyes on it...

i try to never leave mine at the shops, i try to go to smaller shops so i can be within range for my pager to go off if the alarm is triggered...

Don't park it at any train station full stop - all cars get targetted there.

Is wilsons the car park on latrobe/russel street?!

If it is my window looks out onto the car park

I always see drug deals going on in the door ways, shitloads of needles everywhere in the alley and on the road :P

My mates R1 had 2 Needles sticking in his seat lol

Places i wouldnt want to park:

Craple street - Refused to drive their every saturday because of b'ball at the grammar, its chaos their - paid off aswell, mates car got backed into (hit n run)

Supermarket Carparks - old grannies and runaway shopping trolleys

Chadstone shopping centre - a few r33's been jakked from here, some even during the day. Stay away.

Parkville/flemington/kensington - keep your car away from here, junkies will jack ur stereo in broad daylight

any thing within the vacinity of a commision flat complex is definately a no-no.

You guys might wanna note that the thieves may be part of the skyline community too? Or that they peruse this website just like the cops :P

Friend's S15 got stolen in his secure key card apt in the city. Camera footage showed the car being driven away but till this day, nothing's been found.

My house x 2 also.

Brunswick street (f**king hippies/bums whatever) peace and love my ass... lets steal that dudes mobile and wallet and smash his window so we can get high tonight.

Crown Casino... shit security and don't want to know about it also.

lets steal that dudes mobile and wallet.

If you're silly enough to leave your wallet and your phone in the car, then you need to accept part of the blame. :D

It's common sense not to leave valuables in plain sight.

    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
