hehe i worked in shops at liverpool westfields from 1996 til 2002

i worked at the movies on late shift from 1999-2002

the amount of people that would come out from the movie, go into the carpark, then come back in and tell us their car was gooone or broken into was huge

shocker of a carpark

avoid it

At any car event, drift, drag, show, etc.

It seems where ever there are car enthusiests there will be a matching number of arseholes to fu(k with your car while its in the car park :P

.

Outside UTS Library in the city,

my old pulsar got the back window kicked in and my dad's car got keyed there,

another night i was there saw, a car without number plates or badges must have heaps of enemies

in the Kensington outside or around UNSW my friend's 200sx got keyed really bad top to bottom, and he lives around that area.

*newcastle*

don't park at hoyts my old civic had tyres slashed, anywhere in town especially on fri and sat nights, windale, glendale cinemas, heard lotsa problems from them, and shopiing centres, i hate people who park to closethen dint your doors trying to get out whilst there is a mile of room on the other side of the car, just move the ****ing thing godamnit

Couple of weeks ago I saw "DIE YOU YUPPIE SCUM" spraypainted all over the front bonnet & windscreen of a boring falcon.. probably a shitey 95 model or something.. of course this was in melbourne, practically across the road from housing dept flats.. hate to think what they'd do to a Skyline or HPV.

I've seen a fair few people park outside housing dept flats down here (nice GTRs and all).. crazy melbournites!

I never park anywhere near the general public in shopping centres, always park in the rain/on the top and as far away from the shop entrance as possible.. otherwise I come back to a new scratch every time..

Definately wouldn't park anywhere in Surrey Hills in Sydney, after living there for a few years a while back.

At any car event, drift, drag, show, etc.
That's actually where I feel the safest when parking with a large volume of other cars. I don't have any issues parking at EC, WSID, Oran Park, Summernats, etc.

Have had small things happen at events such as badging/scratching (drift event) & a random assortment of shyte left on my car (road signs, beer bottles, etc at the Summernats).

If I think about the more serious stuff such as breakins & theft I would say UWS Kingswood Reso's carpark was terrible & Camperdown Memorial Park is bad for older/easier to steal cars. Theft attepts were made on my Torry & my nan's '82 323 while parked there.

Sumernats for sure not a great place to park esp since your not in ear shot of your alarm and even if you are its too loud usually to hear anything else.

In canberra bad places to park.. there are so many!! Ummm.. the braddon car parks (esp the ones past maccas) the amount of cars i see that get scratched, broken into or moved up there (i.e onto gutters), in good ol' qbn bad places are karabah, outside the sop station believe it or not and near any parks.

Macquarie Shopping centre in Sydney

Unless it's the front section which leads onto McDonalds, I wouldn't bother with Mac. Centre.

Burwood Westfields is fulla Swedes and there's heaps of imports being ripped for parts.

The main Burwood Rd. is fine but the whole area is a defect zone as it is.

Summernats is a not a good time for any Japanese car.

T.

What is this about swedes? Your not talking about swedish people?

Yeah im kind of new here...

Yeah liverpool westfields is pretty dodgy, too many habibs waiting out the front of the entrance looking to do some mischief.

dude maybe they just dont want your car

nah seriously I go to Burwood almost every weekend. Sunday lunch time and sometimes one night during the week to get a movie. I park on the bottom level (usually near the cinema entrance). So far I've been ok. Even in dodgey places like Maq Centre.

    • @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣  
    • I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia. 
    • Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.
    • I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).
    • As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
