With all the high profile car theft going on in ACT at the moment, just a heads up to people to note any suspicious activity around their car. Some people have been using tow trucks and just dragging cars onto them to never be seen again.

Only reason I bring this up is because over the weekend I have spotted a red commodore (VN/VP) and also a wine red R33 GTST driving up my street slowing down right out the front of my house and people looking up into the garage and driving off. Making me a tad uneasy and concerned.

What high profile cars have been stolen, I haven't heard anything.

Im certainly aware of all the recent "tow away thefts". I know a couple of cars that have gone bump in the night! The sadest thing is that statistically they all end up in a thousand pieces in Sydney! Like all the hard work and hard earned money you spent is nothing to them!

Oh and if your saying that they wont break in to other cars just to get them out of the way then your mistaken! The last high profile car taken was parked in by two other cars!

You have to realise some people slowing down for a look are enthusiasts, which can make it hard to discern between those taking a look and those scoping the car/security out. I had a Nissan Exa, white with big Nismo sticker up the side drive past my car in Woden a while ago, reverse and sit looking at the car for a few seconds before speeding off...heard on these forums they did the same to someone else. if you think someone looks suspicious, take down their rego and note the cars make/model/colour. You just can't be too careful these days.

Also make sure not to give out your rego numbers and address on these forums, you don't know who's reading it.

The real cupprit here is our law enforcers, the cops do all the work getting these slimes, and then the courts let 'em go with a good behaviour bond. They plead it was a first time and they were desperate for funds etc etc.

They are back out on the street in no time. If it was tougher they'd all be locked away or it wouldn't be worth their while vs gaol time etc.

but trident, they've had hard childhoods, their parents were divirced or their father's did'nt love them enough, or too much and they once saw their beloved pet cat get run over, how can you not show compassion to the little deev-o bastards? NOT THE SARCASM!

i agree with you completely! im so sick of the sons of bitches getting let off when they should be locked up, then beaten daily with oversized dildo's!

      Just one more post to show the final result and the original "janky" solution for a laugh. Everything feels really tight and no wobbling at all, very pleased 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By MBS206 · Posted

      The hot exhaust light will come on not from just the cat being blocked, but it's just a temp sensor, and it's designed to warn you to not do things like park in long grass.   If you've been pushing the motor a bit, it can cause the light to come on.   Second if the cat is rattling, I'd suspect it's not blocked, but instead falling apart inside.   The easiest "fix" until you can get a cat put back in, is to unbolt your one, bash the rest of the insides out, and then bolt it back in.   For a daily driver/street car, I am in agreeance of put a cat in the car. If it were race car I wouldn't care if it were removed.

      No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
