These are for the Newcastle area.

Windale. Most of you Sydneysiders probably don't know where this is, but you certainly would remember it if you went there.

I also wouldn't park at the Civic video at the Adamstown shops again. Even though it's a very safe area I had my window smashed there so that's enough for me.

Finally, the Raymo cinemas. A friend had his window smashed there once.

*more newcastle area*

MIC33R - I live in raymond terrace. I wouldnt park on the streets anywhere....especially down near dominos, or the south side of the golf course

My mate's EvoS (yeah ricer, but still) was sratched bigtime at windale by 8 yo's (caught on video) scrathed profanities in the car doors....

Certain Parts of Metford would be another place i wouldnt park.

Singleton is pretty bad. I got my car keyed there during the day on a few occasions

Yep Adamstown is dodgy, my cousin had her car window smashed & some jerk ran off with her purse... f#cking piece of sh#t. As for windale... Gezzzzzzzz its not even worth mentioning, there鈥檚 no reason you'd ever go or be there... It's like saying "im going to the Gaza strip for walk around & see the sites.", It just don鈥檛 happen!

Cessnock, anywhere @ night. Had my car parked across the street of my m8s dads restaurant there on the main road. There was the little wigga's roaming the streets, they were yelling shit out from a distance, some sh#t bout skyline dickhead or whatever. Later on they must have kicked my car coz the alarm went off, i seen the lights flashing so i ran across the street, nothing was damged which was good. I had a few drinks in me too & was ready for a fight so about 10 of us went outside calling these little pricks to teach'em a lesson, they had nothing & stayed away.

Oww & when my dad was driving in Cessnock too once again going go to our friends restaurant, he was telling me when he was driving home he nearly crashed because some little f#cks out there had put big f#cking logs in the middle of the road to try & crash some cars it would seem. He pulled over & got it out of the way.

Parked at Mac Westfields, but i NEVER park there after 5 and never on the top cinema level carpark. I know plenty of people who have had break ins there but usually only at night whilst they are watching a movie.

Parked at Parramatta but only in front of the Fitness First.

Places I've had my car broken into, keyed: Strathfield station in front of 20people person breaking into the car pissed off when a bystander said he was going to call the police.

Burwood: Westfields, broken into.

City: Pitt St, keyed.

Brighton Le Sands: coles, keyed again

I stopped worrying too much, if someone wants to be an ass they will be an ass.

Anyway thats what insurance is for.

whats wrong with burwood,

ive parked there heaps,

and never heard anything either

man I'm there all the time, for long periods as well...nothings happened yet. Same with Macquarie Centre. Maybe because my car looks stock???

i park my car anywhere, i used to watch out, but now ive noticed there can b dikheads anywhere, eg i was parked at castle towers and sum guy opened his car door really hard into my back pannel and left a huge dent wif red paint. at the driving range some guy hit a ball into my passenger door and left a dent.

now i just dont bother, its my daily driver atm when my new car arrives, im gettin the skyline fixed and sprayed.

hrmmmmmmmmmmm

i always use to park my car at burwood (main road, westfields, adjoining roads to railway station) as i live a suburb over. and as for macquarie shopping centre (my girlfriend comes from up that way) with no dramas at all as we goto watch the movies up there all the time....

having said that, if you care to go out with the trolls at night and the early hours of the morning then the likeliness of your car being vandalised is going to be higher WHEREVER YOU PUT IT........

    • As GTS mentioned, it takes a bit of faffing, some fiddling and a little modifying.  With the strainers, you can buy different styles. Some sit flat on the pump, some angle down.  Here are some photos of mine, ignore the ugly welds lol. 
    • The smart thing is to actually locate the pump at the right point down the hanger, so that the strainer can stay sticking out at a right angle, but near the bottom. This is the perpetual hassle with retrofitting any different pump to the factory hanger. Some just go where you need it to, some need fiddling and faffing, and modifying of stuff.
    • Some updates. After a lot of praying and some inspecting of crank threads, we've found that they were both kinda munted but nothing seemed terminal. The other option was drilling and helicoiling the crank. That is obviously the last option so we decided to at least try to get a OEM GM bolt in to GM Specs. So after honing/linishing the balancer from it's .002" interference fit to a .0018" to .0015" to .0013" it eventually slotted on to the crank. ATI state the interference is nominally 0.0007-0.0009... so it's still snugger than ATI reckon and explains the issues we had to fit the thing to begin with. New GM bolt went in at 37 ft/lb then torqued 140 degrees after which was EXTREMELY   but it tightened up to 140 degrees and it was a lot of force. So all things considered, the balancer is secured to the exact specs that GM want with the OEM Stretch bolt, (that ATI say you can use..) and the balancer itself is seated and snug AF. So WOO. Engine is now back in the car with lots of swearing. Bellhousing bolts done up, driver side manifold is on, AC Compressor and hard lines are back on the car. Next step will be to connect various engine bits/wiring/intake/radiator etc. Then oil and coolant and ... test start it? And of course, looking into this issue... which actually doesn't look so bad - It looks like it can be twisted back into shape with a set of multigrips. Anyone wanna buy my bonnet? Boy it looks good over there and sunk cost sucks.
    • Also this may be a stupid question, but how would you recommend getting the strainer on a downwards angle ? as they tend to obviously clip to the bottom of the pump which usually sits level 馃ゴ
