Import & Performance Car Theft on the North Shore - Warning


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, car theft is rampant at the moment on the north shore with chatswood and lane cove being *known* hot spots.

Please be careful.

On Thursday November 28th at 4am one of my friends in St Ives caught 4 guys under his bonnet attempting to steal his black R33 GTST from outside his front door. the following night a 200sx was stolen from the same street. They had ripped out his alarm from the engine bay but hadnt got into the cabin.

The sunday before another friend in Lane Cove has his 180sx stolen from up his driveway. Fortunately the 180 has been found in Macquarie park missing only small parts like bov etc.

Chatswood police have mentioned that performance car theft on the north shore is VERY high at the moment

Be careful guys its getting pretty bad again.

:(

I need a tazer, are they legal?

if YOU are threatened, not your property.

tazer's are illegal.

self-defence is not a complete defence, only partial. meaning: you kill someone you don't get done for murder, but manslaughter. up to the judge whether he believes you or not. you may even get off.

however, doesn't automatically mean you are free from liability...

a judge will always frown upon you 'defending' your property, such as a car, rather than your 'persons,' as property can always be replaced and its not a danger to yourself.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
