i got attacked in the other car park at that tafe and the tafe tried to tell me its not their property therefore they cant do anything :) it does however have tafe signs located around everywhere u park your car there.

What a load of cock! All commercial premises must provide car parking on-site. Meaning the car park is their property and a service offered to patrons/students/staff. It is their problem. Too bad TAFE security are thick as they come.

Whos the smart one here? The random stranger who sees such a great car and telling others about how one saw such a car how sick it is etc..... OR the owner of the car parking at such a high theft risk area. :)

I would say you both arnt to smart as your telling theives where the cars are and the other guy is parking in a high risk area however he may not have a choice or the funds to buy a run about car. At the end of the day if people started posting on a public forum exactly where my car was parked on a regular basis id be pretty pissed of. On a diferent note did anyone else see that big sign in the elizabeth car park saying car thieves are pressant lock up your vehicles?

So your saying your one of them thieves? Because I just told you where the car was parked? From what I'm re-calling I'm telling a bunch of fellow enthusiast that I saw a nice car. I guess everyone who has posted in the spotted thread is guilty of being stupid for telling "thieves" where a certain car could potentially drive by daily/weekend so the thieves could go hijack the car.

P.S. I would say you ain't too smart either because your spelling SUCKS :laughing-smiley-014:

I live in the Ferryden Park area and the asians/abos running around here are thieving bastards. My car is securely locked up, club locked, and a baseball bat near the door at the ready! A two way alarm gets installed this weekend. Try and steal it mother farkers!

I'm around that area too... but i feel totally safe parking my car there, most of the young fellas around the parks recognise my car and the driver and know if they tried anything they'd up with two broken legs. Btw, it ain't just asians and abos doing it here, there's a big whitey crew who flog lots of high end cars for joyrides.

I just moved into the neighbourhood 2 months ago (kinda got forced into it after breaking my shoulder in a bike crash), so I haven't seen 'everything' yet. I have no doubts there are whitey crews farking about.

Same here too. If they go near my car they'll know about it. :blink:

      @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?

      Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!

      I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).

      At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself

      I think this is just a product of how the US market works for this stuff. Shops are expensive and there's no real way of knowing what kind of results you're going to get, people don't really have the institutional knowledge. I have heard too much at this point to really put faith in anybody "full service" except maybe DSport and they aren't really a full service kind of shop. If you go to the right place I have no doubt they'll get it right for you. Some locals have set it up right but the cost really is nuts and even now they're still fighting issues. And you know I'm a crazy person who thinks things like twin scroll, relatively short low-mount cast headers, PCV recirc to intake, recirculating BOV, right-sized for ~400 whp, MAF load, validating all of that to a standard comparable to OEM test programs, etc are relevant. For what it's worth, multiple local owners at this point have been stuck in a perpetual cycle of blowing a motor -> getting someone to rebuild it -> some missed detail causes the bearings to wipe and spin just outside of break-in mileage or drop valves or some other catastrophe -> cycle repeats. I usually only find out about this because I'm perpetually helping random friends with diagnosing car troubles, Skyline or otherwise. The single turbo stuff if I'm honest is mostly secondary, it just doesn't seem to achieve the numbers in the ~2000-3000 rpm region that I would expect given the results I've seen here or in Motive's videos. I don't really know what we're missing here in the US to be causing this. Lots of people like to emphasize the necessity of finishing the project first and foremost, but I'm not made of money and I can't afford to be trashing a 15k+ USD engine build with any regularity. Or spending my relatively limited garage time these days unable to triangulate problems because too much was changed all at once. Also, even if it isn't a catastrophic failure I would consider spending the cost of single turbo conversion with nothing to show for it to be pretty bad.
