finally, they're doing something about it...

just saw it on the news, 400 police this morning set out to make arrests, south west of sydney... for rebirthing cars. Wonder how many of these are skylines.. they mentioned that some of the cars were car jacked..

Was my S14 200sx - sad to see it go, but the insurance paid for a much nicer nissan! Heard from QLD police 18months later - it had turned up on the Gold Coast - must have been a hell of a holiday for the old girl!

Was 100% as it left me, and on to it's second owner - but they got the bloke who originally sold it- haven't caught the ones that stole it (yet).

Now have tracking alarms on both cars - won't happen again. The factory immobiliser obviously didn't give them any trouble....

Sure DLuded, but did you ever wonder, when the cops are after crims, who has time to defect cars? I hope RTA inspectors can help out, coz we can't afford to have commonwhores all over the country loosing at the traffic lights.

it really doesnt bother me to see crappy cars like that driving around (because i have a crappy LOUD car and i dont want to get caught). anyway i would prefer to see cops actually doing something useful then being wasted on defecting cars. all that money wasted on police equipment and its being used to defect car...not worth it

Well said. :)

Ha,Ha,,, they got 23 scumbags today and heaps of evidence of others involved,,,,,,Bankstowns such a lovely place,,,,lots of Panel Shops got raided as well as 2 Warehouses. Some got court with stolen boats as well. Others were stealing new cars and stripping them for parts.

I thought something was going on this morning,,,next to no cop cars at Bankstown Cop Station when I walked past at 7.00am. I'll ask the head copper next time I see him ,,he sometimes stands outside sucking on a Cig.

hope this really cuts back on the car thefts and car jacks.... for awhile anyway.

Insurance companies must be happy knowing where all their funds went.

Would really be interested to know how many of these cars are skylines or other grey imports. They mentioned most were 'exotic' cars... are skylines classed as that.. or is that an understatement.. muahaha! :)

ALL I Can say is:

SUCKED IN!!!!!! :shake: :shake: :shake: :shake:

Its a bout time those bloody cops do something good instead of bullsh*t defects and petty fines. although i get mixed feelings when i remember that the money from all the defects and fines helped to fund that bust. At least it was for a good cause.

if so it just confirms how some guys in the south west are funding their Bemmer convertables and M3's........

Actually, you'd be very surprised to find out exactly how much money these guys get from their parents.......

They act all big & tough, but 99% of them would have absolutely no chance of surviving without their mum & dad.........

MR CRX was the "workshop" that was raided? can anyone 100% confirm this or is it simply another rumour.

I just read the heral and sounds like performance workshops, car yards and mroe were involved.... they mentioned no skylines however found containers with WRX's etc and showed a shot on the news of a inside a workshop with a WRX with big FMIC in full view...

Sounds like the carjacking saga might be coming to a close *hopefully*

I know the above workshop is in bankstown and cops said they found a container FULL of parts outside the un named workshop and seized over 35 cars...

    • Incidentally, I also put v3 of the tune on the car and did an oil change from 5w20 to 5w40 to see how it affected oil pressure in the mid to high end. I'm still happier with the thicker oil and will stick with it, but clearly the system is happy with 55psi even if I'm not!
    • So the other thing I got sorted over the weekend was Z1 oil catch can install. https://www.z1motorsports.com/z1-products/z1-motorsports/z1-q50-q60-30t-baffled-oil-catch-can-kit-p-23546.html It was a good kit, most importantly it came with preformed silicone hoses in the right shapes rather than trying to bend/join regular straight rubber hose. It did come with crappy spring clamps not proper hose clamps so I ditched them On the down side, it is made for LHD cars and RHD cars have the main ECU harness running straight through that location, I ended up bending 2 mounting brackets so the loom is up against the brake master cylinder compartment wall to make room for it....otherwise everything fit without modification Intercoolers off on both sides, but there was enough room to get everything done without disconnecting (and therefore having to re-bleed) the coolant lines. Each is mounted with 4x 12mm headed bolts, plus in and out side hose clamps (7mm headed, nice) and 3 electrical connectors on the navigator's side which were a real pain to undo (probably for the first time in 13 years).   Also one of the mounting bolts on the driver's side was cross threaded, thanks Infiniti/Nissan workshop mechanics. On the navigator's side, the catch can plumbs into the factory hose that goes from the cam cover PCV back to the intake.  This is the 2 new hoses in place. All simples and direct fit On driver's side, there is a bracket provided that mounts to the throttle body, they even provide slightly longer bolts to allow for the bracket thickness which is nice (although, they don't have captive washers like the factory bolts of course) In that pic the main loom brackets are not in place, once I had "adjusted" them across it now sits up against the panel and just clears the OCC The remaining problem with this is emptying it; currently you have to remove the 3x m4 bolts that hold it to the bracket and both banjos to remove it (probably dropping the banjo washers at the same time) pull it apart to empty then replace. I do have some fittings coming for a remote drain from underneath that will also add a little capacity...it is very small and will need to be emptied every oil change to be sure.
    • Noise sounds to me could be either wheel bearing related (have had similar from bearings going) or that tail shaft is still loose. Or something like a heat shield touching the tail shaft.
    • You wouldn't get away with saying the opposite, if you were there.
    • Do some wool fluff testing on the vents
