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.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
    • The maxpeedingrods turbo is cheap and bolts on to stock parts. I think you just need a bigger silicone coupler for the intake. Its a cheap china turbo, but it's been running on mine for almost 3 years at 16-19 psi.
    • What do they look like right after you've tried to start it with everything connected? Also post photos of what they actually look like.
    • Also wanted to say, my new spark plugs are blackened looks like it's very rich. I have splitfire coilpacks but stock coilpack loom and ignitor. I tried directly grounding the ignitor ground to body as well.
