I truly feel for you guys, i get paranoid enough up here, but if it ever got like that I don't think i'd go anywhere. Even though I have the worst looking 32 in the world at the minute, it won't be like this for too long...I think it's time the people started fighting back though, but this isn't really the place to discuss such things.

Actually QLD has the lowest Car Theft rate per capita as shown here: http://www.neighbourhoodwatch.com.au/virtu.../car-stats.html

Hehe damn NSW is sooo bad though. Id be paranoid if I was living there.

What you refering to Newzealanders, Pomies and Yanks???

Shit! there are more of these people staying illegally in this country than all nationalities put together.

race a car at the lights, 2000 in fines + court costs + storage costs + loss of license + impound cars for 3 months first time

steal a car, get off first time with community service

the police are too busy doing defects at rbts to stop car theft or investigate it.

You got in one XCUZME - Costa has got to go....

If we DON'T vote for Bob Carr in the up coming elections, maybe the new G'ment will re-divert police resources from defecting our cars to catching the real criminals.

Hahaha... fair call Oz Elitesport!!!

I dont want to start a race debate on this topic but i think we all know who are behind all this dodgey behaviour. I dont feel threatened by my fellow ozzies when it comes to having my car stolen - its the other people that scare me cos they have no respect for others or others' property because of the way they've been brought up in their culture.

Bush should be starting wars with people because of their car-theiving not their nuclear weapon making - fark get ya priorities straight.

sounds like i'll have my life expectancy cut in half by buying a skyline.... being on P's, getting defects, more chance of getting stolen, more chance of low life f*cks keying the car or badging it......

not good...

My mate just told me a story about some dodgy c**t probably wanting to steal his car. What happened was, he was just driving up my street to come over. This junky ass motherfu**er stops him while he was fixing a VK Commo. Starts just talking and saying, your cars a Nissan right? It's a turbo too yeah? Yep. Goes on saying yeah man it's nice, I've got a car for sale man, it's a turbo Nissan too. Mate asks, what kind of car/engine etc. and the junky cu*t says I don't know. My mate says well what kind of turbo/engine again. Guy says, I don't know man, let me see yours so I can see if it's the same. My mate was gonna open the bonnet but thought **** that wtf is this guy up to. Asks him more and more questions. Like what model is the car, what make? the guy says, I dunno. It's not an actual car the engine and gearbox have been taken out and that's all there is, no car just that stuff. Then some other shit and he said he came from geelong and the cars up in geelong so my mate has to go up there to see it. Then he just said yeah give me a call (on a dodgy number) and I'll come up one day to see it. Farkin wanker probably wants to meet at some ****ed up place and rob my mate.

Ive recently found out an ex-good friend's, bf, is 1 of the little ****s that rips decks/parts from cars...and she tells me after peaking it at her 'if u knew how much money was involved u'd probably do it as well'...****en dumb bitch...

That brings up the supply/demand topic...every1 knows how it works...

Im not the type that will jump into fights for ppl i don't know, but im not going to have a problem putting a pole to some blokes head while he tries to jack some1 elses car anymore...

im at the stage where i wont leave my car at a car park at all unles i stay in it!

the only place it gets parked is in a secured, fenced, off street car park at my work.

as for the car jacking nothing you can do about that but get a tracker put in ur car, then there is a chance you may get it back!

but the trackers are sooooo dear.

imagine how low the insurance premiums would be if every new car sold had a tracker in it. not to mension how much car theft would drop.

but them ****ed up theives would think of a way around the trackers wouldnt they! ! !

I reakon Brody hit the nail on the head

"Supply and Demand"

Ppl steal cars/parts to make money by selling them. Eveyone wants the best price for parts, sometimes we don't ask enough questions. And the parts sold privately through forums like this have to be under suspicion.

Anyone who bought something through this or another forum EVER seen an original receipt?

      Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though

      and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.

      Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.

      There is a warning that "this thread is super old" but they ignore that anyway...

      With 10% Ethanol, we're talking 2-3% fuel consumption difference. The emissions reductions and octane boost in my opinion far outweigh this almost non existent loss.    My tanks sitting at 80%. Luckily that should go down fast as I'm on vacation again for the next two weeks.
