Scrote City...Watch yourself and you car.


Recommended Posts

I'm planning on designing a special pocket in my pyjama's for my keys, bet the bastards won't think of looking there, haha

It's amazing how brazen they are these days, breaking in to steal keys from your house, kinda scary. My dog was the best investment I every made, keeps anyone from going round the back of my place.

Hmm I have considered sleeping with them inin my pocket or under my pillow or something along those lines of being really close, but I am scared that I will roll over in my sleep and push my alarm!!!! The last thing I need is to open the car in my sleep and make it easier for the theives!!! :)

I'd rather put up a fight than let them get my car, some things are worth fighting for. Have to keep a club handy.

Are you sure that doesn't have more than one purpose? haha.

It would give them a nice surprise if they came looking for the keys in your room.

I got broken into today, only thing they stole was my old car stereo but im sure the guy had a good look around at everything else he wanted. Cops got a print and I told em who I rekoned it was but they say theres near nothing chance they can do anything.

I will need to bring my dog down i think, but i dont know how it will go during the day while im @ work. its a purebred border collie and needs to be ran VERY often else it gets really moody hehe

speaking of little bastards breaking into houses and stealing keys.... 4 houses were broken into in my street the other night and one car was stolen. some keys(for both the house and car) from one house are still missing so all the locks need to be changed.

i reckon some of the best security we;ve ever invested in is a little jack russell. they bark their heads off at anything foreign to the house. security mesh and steel glass on the windows will make your house a fortress.

anyway... if i caught someone trying to break into my car id grab my 6D Cell Maglight and beat the living fCuk out of them after they;d said a quick hi to mr diving knife. believe me..... im not joking!:)

Memphis if I was you I wouldnt be pointing that marker at anyone. Its illegal to point anything that resembles a gun at someone in WA. Let alone pump out a few rounds which could take out their eyes, which would in turn **** up paintballing for everyone. I've been hit by a normal marker at several ranges, one paintball managed to break the skin (hit my hand, didnt have any gloves on) and cause a serious welt to go with the bleeding, imagine coping one in the eye, you'd lose it. Save the marker for the field when its legal to inflict such pain on your friends :)

try a couple of surveilence cameras, i have 2 out the front of my place they even have infra-red so they can see in the dark!! they hook up to your computer and using specialised software, can be set to record on movement and/or set off an alarm through your computer speakers, best thing ive ever done for security, and quite cheap also, under $100 for each camera....

Cam.

Hmmm I am also with RAC..... Isnt the definition of stolen, taken without your permission????? So wouldnt that mean that regards of how they take it they have still stolen it??? Maybe it truly has been a blessing that I have always kept my keys with me at all times without even knowing that :D

    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
