im as white as they come and when I read this I agreed. Its not because im racist but because for some reason australains on the whole dont seem to have that pshyco mentality. I dont know if this makes sense, but i went to boarding school and alot of the asian guys always wanted to sort things out with big fights, or fight for fun, where as it seems that australians dont seem to be so much like that. Probably something you could trace back to the differences in our cultures....

By "culture" it might be a socio-economic thing - ie, non-white people having less money and thus more likely to resort to stealing and being in gangs.

I wouldn't say that I am racist, but I will readily admit that if I see a group of young men walking down the street, generally speaking I will be much more wary if they are asian or arab or islander than if they are white. Of course there are definitely exceptions, like if they were a bunch of white bikies or even drunk hooligans on a weekend (a group of white drunk men tends to be pretty scary).

I was once almost mugged by a group of white australian youths in Tempe, but fear gives you legs :P Plus I think they were all clueless dorks and wouldn't have known what to do with me if they caught me so they didn't try very hard to catch up. But I am just speaking in general terms, which is perhaps why I said "ethnic minority" in the first place. I didn't mean to offend anyone. (knowing my luck I've probably offended people again anyway).

For the record, I have several asian and arab friends and part asian myself.

well i'm asian so i can spot the dodgy ones straight away ... but i know what u mean ... if i was in a situation where my car was getting jacked i think i'd be so angry i dont' care what happens ... like if i go psycho and the guy gets badly injured well i couldnt' care less ... he deserves every bit of it ... my gfs a lawyer so i guess that helps LOL .. but yeah break the guys arms and legs i say!!!

wrx rammed the gtr from behind at the traffic light. guy was turning right. Didn't get out rightaway but turned intersection to swap details there. That's when it all went wrong.

I hope they catch them cause big bubba is hungry for some more young and fresh ass.

What we need are less bleeding heart judges who let these d1cks off with a slap on the wrist!!

If you were assured of getting 10 years in the clink for carjacking, I bet the number of incidents falls !!

Problem is, it makes you want to speed more if you see any sus cun7s behind you. After hearing these stories i reckon i'd get nervous seein anymore than 2 guys in a rex following me. Plus if you speed away and they keep up then you kno somethin might be goin on.

It's a car, hand over the keys. Not worth getting a screwdriver in the eye.

If you can't afford insurance buy a staffy for the back seat and don't feed it before you go driving. :uh-huh:

lol, or even crazier, shoe-horn a Great Dane into the back seat.

I bet neil and mel never get car-jacked :)

Maybe you all should carry two harmless devices like the above carby cleaner and a cigarette lighter???

I not actually sure how these two devices interact but I'm sure some of you guys can work something out :bahaha:

I think it is a conspricy!

Theory is that the Club lock companies are not making enough $$ due to better alarms and they hire people to do these things.

This brings back the old habbit of having a club lock in the car for self defence.

Johnny H is definitly behind this...

i haven't read the whoel thread yet, justthe first page, but yeah my suggestion in a matter like this would be (if your car is insured, if not the WTF) give them your keys, call the cops and run to a TV and hey, you get to see your car in a car chase and u don't have to goto jail for it ;)

Guys it's just a feckin' car.

If anyone thinks it's worth risking life for then they really need to take a hard look at their priorities.

I've gotta say I really had a laugh when some moron started talking about the calibre of their handgun. This is a car-related forum after all. I think in general the people who frequent this forum are rational people and I hope that new people here don't expect that this sort of crap is the rule.

Seems everyone's a hero behind a bloody keyboard!

Cheers,

Ben

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
