Just found this, hot off the press!

Carjackers, armed and after luxury cars in Sydney, have been foiled in their attempt to steal two cars worth more than $500,000.

About 10.20pm (AEST) last night a 66-year-old man was attacked by two men - one armed with a handgun, in Haymarket, in Sydney's CBD, police said.

The attackers demanded the man hand over the keys to his $185,000, 2005 model Mercedes, as he was making his way to a restaurant.

He was assaulted and threw his keys on the ground when he saw the handgun.

The carjackers could not start the Merc and had to abandon their bid to steal it when two people in a taxi saw the incident and came to help.

The would-be carjackers got into a stolen silver Nissan Skyline parked in Sussex St and escaped, police said.

The attack appears to be linked to an earlier carjacking attempt where a number of men tried to steal a $400,000 Mercedes convertible in Wolseley Rd at exclusive Point Piper in Sydney's east.

As the men approached, the owner drove to Rose Bay police station.

The incidents follow an attack on a 49-year-old man by two masked men when he returned to his Rose Bay home in his black two-door coupe at about 9.15pm (AEST) on Thursday.

After fighting the men, the owner retreated and watched as they sped off down New South Head Road in the car, worth about $500,000.

That case was believed to be linked to a July 29 incident where a gang stole a Mercedes-Benz from a man reversing into his Vaucluse garage, also in Sydney's east.

That vehicle was used in a string of hotel robberies.

Now can anyone tell me why Skylines are so damn popular when people are using them to commit crimes? And also, the more important question... anyone lose a silver Skyline?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      (it is a brand new ported mellings pump) I suspect the lack of pressure is due to the leak. It was *not* that low in other logs of oil pressure in the past. It wasn't that hot either, but not far off.

      Would a Mellings oil pump be a viable option  From my time with a LS, and talking to tuners and LS specialists, the "weak" OEM oil pump is one of the first things they recommend to swap out if I was going to give the engine any high RPM I opted for a Mellings high volume, with the high pressure springs and I never had a issue with it Cost wise they are not expensive in the scheme of things

      My new to me M35 Stagea wagon

      By davemoto63 · Posted

      Just bought a 2002 Stagea 250tRS VR-X Four AERO VQ25DET and spent the last two weekends cleaning and detailing it.. still have to do the wheels and the engine bay but the rest of it came up nice. Imported 2011 to S.A. and I'm the third owner since it was imported. I met the guy who brought it over, he went to Japan and picked out the car, bought it and ordered the wheels. He also gave me a list of stuff he did to the car with receipts. Coil overs (I have the original springs), 3" exhaust from the dump pipe back no cat, Custom dump pipe,(I have the original exhaust), Plenum spacer, 18" custom Work XSA wheels (need restoring, I've made a start..), Shift kit put through the 5 speed tiptronic auto, TV and menus/screens changed to english, Australian DTV tuner installed in rear. I've just had four new discs and new pads as well as all the fluids including the brake fluid replaced. I have all the receipts for the last 15 years and the import papers in a nice folder. Car looks great, goes like hell but fuel economy is not a thing lol.. pics next..

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      I ended up in this rut again lol, and used a shit ton of filler. One thing I can't understand is, even after using a big long block and going in long X pattern strokes, I always end up at bare metal again with no filler, and my repair started at one end of the door and now I've chased my tail to almost the other end of the door. I was thinking of hitting the panel with a hammer where it might be a high spot and making everything low then filling it, I did this on a small section on my other door by mistake and I think I fixed it lol. Is this a bad idea? The other thing is with guidecoat, whether it's the powder or spray, after I sand all the guide coat off, it doesn't reveal anything for me in terms of high spots and low spots and makes it especially hard when it's bare metal (at least in powdered form), am I doing something wrong here, or likely a high spot I keep going over and creating valleys? Lastly, stupid question but, is it possible that after sanding if I only sand over the filler area where I know to be a dent that it's impossible for me to dig into that dent? Unless there are other problems which I missed.
