I'm in the Belco area. My brother's car (Honda 4 banger, nice looks but nothing overly special) just had a massive brick thrown through his passenger window. We heard a smash and a loud car like another honda/hyundai/something with a big canon exhaust on it hoon away. I rushed out and stood quietly on the street corner and could actually hear the same car going around Page/Scullin area, revving up high in second gear, then slowing down, very frequently, and repeatedly up and down the streets, like someone looking for something (more ppl to vandalise or attempt to steal I guess). I WISH my car wasn't in the shop atm, or I would have been after them like a shot, and I reckon I coulda tracked them down just by pulling over and listening for their srupidly loud engine noise telegraphing their position half a suburb away... especially in the cold morning air!

I'm so annoyed right now. One of my brothers front tyres blew out on him only 3 days ago, he's been patiently putting up with giving me lifts around to get my car sorted, and now this ****. I'm not a vigilante, but I would have found em, got their rego/make/model and maybe followed from a VERY long distance while having a passenger call the police to catch them.

There aren't words to describe how frustrating it is, and that's ME, not him - he'd be more p1ssed off! And MAN does it suck having slow-witted parents who are too scared to even go outside when they think a vandal is 'on the loose'.

Did anyone else in that area get vandalism, or notice any stupidly loud-exhausted cars going up and down streets??? It happened at about 2.50pm and they were cruising around the suburbs for at least the next 15 minutes, EASILY heard from several streets away. If so, PM me! WE'RE FUMING!!!!! :D:)

Errr I guess it would sound like every other little four cylinder car with a farty exhaust on it. I couldn't tell... just heard if hoon off, then it going up and down the streets in Scullin in a very 'wandering' fashion. Excess is gonna be $1600 (noone to point the finger at, and bro is under 25, with just cars). A friend of his said his Prelude's window was 600 itself to fix, and there's panel damage on my bro's, so we figure easiest to just make the claim and be assured the repairs will be good (or sorted out if the insurance repairer stuffs it up, as we know they can).

    • Also had a look at the Nissan JP website looks like the 400r has a slightly shorter ratio than than the regular V37 3.133 VS 2.937 which from a guy who has driven both 3.69 vs 4.11 ratios in the S15 is bugger all. Seems that the AUTO Z runs the same ratio as the 400R but can't find any info as to if its an open or LSD? More often than not the auto LSD is open
    • Do not replace the power steering lines with this stuff. If it's anything like the Chase Bays stuff it will leak and be worse than stock. The reason why the reservoir is on the LH/passenger side of the car is because that's just where the reservoir was most convenient to fit. Don't overthink this stuff. The intake/cold side of the engine is pretty busy on these cars. And again, the hardpipe is designed to be a janky power steering cooler. In theory you can replace it with a real power steering cooler but that's really only for track use where boiling the fluid is a distinct possibility. Start with the low pressure lines feeding the pump from the reservoir. Make sure there isn't a bunch of junk in the reservoir filter. Be careful to not get ATF all over the engine bay. I hate dealing with ATF spills, you can clean it up and the slightest crevice will still release more oil that can still drip over time. You also want to inspect for leaks before you make a mess and can't tell what happened. Most likely you have a leak somewhere that is allowing fluid out and air in. Failing that it's allowing air in but not fluid out. Only place I can really see that happening is on the low pressure side because the pump will pull a slight vacuum to draw fluid in. Everything after the pump is high pressure or lower pressure, approaching atmospheric by the time it returns to the reservoir.
    • I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂
    • Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy
    • Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p
