Apparently a blue skyline (dunno what model) was crashed into a house this morning when the car was pulled up for a routine traffic check and the driver took off. Anyone know anything about this? God I hope it was stolen in the first place (would hate to think anyone on here is that fking stupid) and I HOPE it wasn't JD's...though I dare say we'd already know more if it was

Nah, twas not I.

But even the mother-in-law had to ring this morning to make sure. I told her I had to speak softly because I was under the bed, and I thought the police were at the door. Had her going for a good 5 minutes.

Crash actually happened in Ellerston Ave, so more Isabella Plains than Calwell.

*It's Melly*

Just saw it on the news, was making dinner heard skyline ran around the corner (bad idea in socks on lino) and saw it, they didn't show the colour or car which is unfortunate because that we would have at least know what model and what sort of blue.

I only heard a little bit of this and THOUGHT that I heard that it was a stolen dark blue 4 door R34 from a lady in Chisholm... But again, I only heard just a little bit of it so it could have been two stories in one by the time I paid attention.

I heard this article too and straight after there was a lady in that area that had her pulsar stolen so it may have been 2 in one.

Probably was just two seperate incidents then. Ignore me :no:

Lol, FoX, unfortunately??

Thats gold :no:

Sounds like a P-plater or stolen car to me. But I am biased against p-platers and car thieves in general...

Understandable, but we aren't all bad. I've never done damage to another persons car but I've had damage done to mine on 3 separate occasions. But those P platers are bastards. :(

So which one are you? The car thief or the P plater ;):):P

    • Update: I got the magnet out. I bought 3 different flexible magnetic reach tools, but none of them worked. The magnet on the tip was all less than 2lbs of force, so i had to buy a special cylindrical magnet that had a pull force of 9lbs.  The magnet finally came in the mail yesterday, so i got under the car to get to work. The super strong magnet isn't that long, so i only have about 1 finger pinch lengths to hold it. I was so scared when i was going in the hole, that the 9lb magnet would just fly away inside the oil pan never to be seen again, but i had my butt cheeks clenched and finger gripped on that thing so tight, i managed to get it to suck the other magnet out.  It was a victory for me last night.         
    • Yep, pretty much what you said is a good summary. The aftermarket thing just attached to the rim, then has two lines out to valve stems, one to inner wheel, one to outer wheel. Some of the systems even start to air up as you head towards highway speed. IE, you're in the logging tracks, then as speeds increase it knows you're on tarmac and airs up so the driver doesn't even have to remember. I bet the ones that need driver intervention to air up end up seeing a lot more tyre wear from "forest pressures" in use on the highway!
    • Yes, but you need to do these type certifications for tuning parts. That is the absurd part here. Meaning tuning parts are very costly (generally speaking) as well as the technical test documentation for say a turbo swap with more power. It just makes modifying everything crazy expensive and complicated. That bracket has been lost in translation many years ago I assume, it was not there.
    • Hahaha, yeah.... not what you'd call a tamper-proof design.... but yes, with the truck setup, the lines are always connected, but typically they sit just inside the plane of the rear metal mudguards, so if you clear the guards you clear the lines as well. Not rogue 4WD tracks with tree branches and bushes everywhere, ready to hook-up an air hose. You can do it externally like a mod, but dedicated setups air-pressurize the undriven hubs, and on driven axles you can do the same thing, or pressurize the axles (lots of designs out there for this idea)... https://www.trtaustralia.com.au/traction-air-cti-system/  for example.... ..the trouble I've got here... wrt the bimmer ad... is the last bit...they don't want to show it spinning, do they.... give all the illusion that things are moving...but no...and what the hell tyre profile is that?...25??? ...far kernel, rims would be dead inside 10klms on most roads around here.... 😃
    • You're just describing how type certification works. Personally I would be shocked to discover that catalytic converter is not in the stock mounting position. Is there a bracket on the transfer case holding the catalytic converter and front pipe together? If so, it should be in stock position.
