Someone broke into and tried to steal the Stagea early this morning.

Thieving bastards got NOTHING ... sucked in you f**king morons.

I take measures to ensure my ride is locked and secured and can't be stolen. I always keep all valuables in my house. Drivers window was getting replaced anyway, this is just making me get it sooner ... no skin off my nose.

Car has been photographed and fingerprinted by police. And 'yes' some prints were lifted.

Pray the cops get you before I do. I keep my "tools" closer to the bed at night now. :P

First accident on the bike then getting scammed by some fag in Melbourne now this wtf ey?

First one was my fault for trusting Council to keep the roads in a safe and well maintained manner.

Second and third were my fault to thinking the community had a majority of honest people. :D

I'm really learning not to trust mankind. :P

thats shit ruby, not cool at all

ill give you a :) hug at the cruise oh are you bringing you pretty girl this time?

Cool! I get a Bunny-hug! :devil: Tracy's flu has cleared up and she's feeling better, should see her out on Sat night. :blink:

I should also clarify that they broke into my S1 silver Stag, not my prized S2 black Stag. But I can't drive the black stag until the turbo swap is finished, and the silver Stag can't be driven far now due to no window. More of an inconvenience more than anything.

better change ya name to lucky :P glad thry did not get ya car a window is easy to fix

Window needed replacing anyway, so really no bother except I don't have the replacement window yet.

And I do consider myself "lucky", because the bastard when caught won't be so lucky.

Jenkies, thats an advantage of having cop friends. One of them is a forensic photographer. They'll ensure they do try to match it. It'll take about a week tho, its not like CSI where they do it in a matter of minutes.

Biggest pain in the arse of course was vacuuming all the broken glass.

I've also received a tip off from a neighbour. The finger is pointed at some people local in the 'hood.

Id take a TLR in blue :D

Like f**k you will :)

    • Sag as in the windows start to slowly open themselves, or they're just slow to go up/down with engine off?
    • It looks like it needs a big worm gear drive on it to control the rotating, not a few sloppy pins!
    • As Duncan said, first there was OBD, which few cars used, then came OBD2.   Now an interesting point, OBD2 isn't even for what you want to do. OBD2 is for emissions testing. There is some sensor data on OBD2, but it's up to the manufacturer what they're putting on it. Most scan tools operate on UDS, which like OBD2 is a standard built on-top of CAN. UDS specifies how to structure a message, what very limited things mean such as "read memory address" but it does not specify what is stored in which memory address, that is all up to the manufacturer. You either a scan tool compatible with that vehicle, or to know how to reverse engineer all the data, which can take a VERY long time and a lot of vehicles to get it right. Oh and then the manufacturer does a firmware update and changes what's where... Ask me how I know that as fact Oh, and by the time you've got the scan tool that supports all the manufacturers stuff, well, you're back at "But a consult cable and the Nissan software" The main difference being most manufacturers software these days works with the same hardware readers, as the readers are built to support J2534 which is another standard for how the PC communicates with the tool to make it do specific things on the car...
    • Rotisserie is fully assembled apart from centre connector which obviously isn't required until the car is on it. It packs away fairly neatly and doesn't take up too much room. (Now that I actually have some room after my clean up!) Overall very happy with the quality of it.  Assembly was a piece of piss.  The only thing I didn't like was that the pins that lock the rotation lock wheels in place were a bit of a dick in a bucket scenario. It allowed the arms to rotate a significant amount even when locked in place.  To fix that i measured up the hole and went and grabbed a couple of 18mm fully threaded bolts and a thread tap to suit. I ran the tap through top and bottom so it was threaded both ends.  Then just threaded the bolt through both sides.  It has made a massive difference which hopefully you can tell in the before and after video how much difference it made. 20250207_161431.mp4   20250207_161431.mp4 Hopefully back working on the car over the next few weeks.   20250207_162801.mp4
    • I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.
