Hi all,

I'll be honest in saying im trying to make up my 10 posts so i can PM people =/

That said where are the 3 places you avoid ever parking your beast??

I'll go with the obvious ones;

Shopping centres where possible

Movies (too long away from my car I would struggle to enjoy the movie)

Out the front of peoples houses in but not limited to;

Thornlie, Gosnells, Mirrabooka, Koondoola, Balga, Girrawheen, Joondalup etc etc oh.. And of course Northbridge..

=)

Large shopping centres - Garden city, Caro etc. If i do park there ill hunt around for a good parking spot.. one next to a wall or a curb.

I agree with you on the movies... Alot of car break in happens at the cinema. Although if i watch a movie during the day its not so bad. Its the nights, especially Thursday night where all the gangster wannabe trash hang around.

Northbridge + Freo... drunk ass's that walk around can do alot of dmg. If i do park there, its usually in the CPP.

Im SOR so parking outside houses is still ok here...

Ive had a few car break ins (not in my skyline, but my other car) at curtin uni. Thats a shit of a place to park. not only do u get car break in but.... People there dont give a shit how they park, they will park so dam close to you even tho you have parked so close to the curb on the other side.. they seem to not follow the lines but follow the car instead. That really shits me.

I usually will give them a piece of my mind if we end up leaving at the same time...

Armadale shopping centre before the upgrade.

I returned to my car to see that a woman had parked her trolley against my car to stop it from creeping down the hill that we were parked on as she was starting to offload her food shopping.

I got to my car and she stopped what she was doing and looked at me. I grabbed her trolley and pushed it down the hill, with her in hot pursuit.

The best part was when it got to the bottom of the hill and hit the kerb as it endo'd and spilled all over the road.

I looked at where she had leaned the trolley on the car and saw a minor scratch that wasn't there before.

I got in my car and drove off.

Fair trade in my opinion.

Agree'd on Curtin, I had some girl drive straight into mine even after trying to correct the angle 2 or 3 times.

I always try to park next to nice cars or curbs and sometimes return only to see an old beat up thing next to mine :thanks:

park next to curbs or in corners...stay away from spaces that TRUCKS CAN PARK IN >: (

perfect example... parked in a complete empty car park at gateways... a big western power truck parked right next to the car... western power truck pulls out and doesn't do a correct turn and the wheel scrapes the end of the car...

not a very nice situation

so pick your spots wisely!!!!

If you have early classes (like 8'oclock ones) then I found the best spaces are in student car park 1. When you go in to the car park from the main entrance, there are a couple of car park spaces on the right that are about 1.5x wider than regular spaces. I always park there if I going to be at Uni for extended periods of time.

Armahole is still dodgy, doesnt matter how many new buildings and trainstations they build

To quote an old saying: You can chrome & polish a turd but at the end of the day it's still a turd!!!!!!!!

Oh and don't take yer pride & joy to Bunnings either, someone didn't like mine (or me) and walked around it with a very sharp implement. I think the roof was the only panel not resprayed

Won't argue with that.

There's just no more sideways hill parking so the leaning incident probably won't happen again.

WTF so now im left with damage n she wont pay!!! fu#kn broad minded person

    • Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy. 
    • New [400]Z, they're available in manual and you don't have to worry about parts scarcity. 
    • Just planning to have the wiring neat and hide as much as possible.
    • The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.
    • Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
