Hi guys

There is a white van currently travelling in the Kingston/Fyshwich area with QLD number plates.

They are selling home entertainment from the back of their van.

I would not care except they sound like the EXACT guys that stole Soundstream and other gear from me.

If you are currently working or out in Fyshwick or know someone who is can you PLEASE tell them to have a quick look around where they are for two mid-20's guys in a white van!

PLEASE HELP!! Any assistance is greatly greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Yep.

All they could tell me is that a few people have reported a white van with QLD number plates selling gear but apparently, get this, it is legit!! LOL!

Anyways, I will not get into that. I rang the police. I then rang the detective looking into the robbery from September. So I have done the best I can by way of cops.

I actually got approached by these guys about 4 weeks ago out the front of J-Racing. White van, interstate plates, two early to mid 20s guys inside trying to sell me home theatre setups used in clubs/bars etc.

Didnt buy them, didnt bother reporting it to the cops as I didnt catch the number plate... yeah.

If your conserned and you think they could have your gear go out to fyshwick and have a look around for them.. and see what they are selling. Alot of people do it legitly, and their are alot of thiefs around anyways. I would say it could be a very hard to track down and pin point the exact person who stole your gear, as they're probably long gone now. Anyway, is their something suspecious about them particular that makes you think they could be the ones who've got your gear? If i see anything, or if im approached i'll ask for their number so i can contact them 'later' about their gear and pass it onto you. Goodluck

Dayne, they approached my friend today who gave me the exact description I was given when another one of my friends (who did not know my gear was stolen at the time) was approached by two guys four days after my soundstream gear was stolen, selling soundstream gear, which is why I think it is them.

Yeah they mentioned to my friend today something about clubs and bars.

Personally i think if there are the guys to stole your gear, the gear would be sold by now..

Hangin on to stolen goods aint sound like a good idea..

Steal it, and get rid of it ASAP..

For the exact reason your talkin about here.. There victim is a customer.

Yeah at least they are back in Canberra for the police to watch them.

SkyGTRline, I know how criminals work, I work in the legal industry. I know they sold it and I know the area that they sold it in. However they also did a few other house break-ins the same time as ours so they need to be caught and put behind bars before they break into other people's houses in Canberra and I honestly hope that they do not!

this is a scam that has been running here in brisbane for ages. the gear is all legit but not worth a pinch of shit. it is a business that targetys young males telling them they have just finished a delivery and have surplus stock to get rid of before they get back to the wharehouse. they show you glossy magazine ads and show the price at what they are supposedly worth. usually like 2-3k and try to sell it to you between 200-$1000. even telling you they will follow you to the ATM to get the money....Dont get caught by these guys

Thanks guy for all your information and help :)

I think it may be different to the scam that people think of as the people in the van are friends of the people who were arrested that broke into the house. They are all friends who have been behind bars before but in ACT, a slap on the wrist and that's all you get. So they are thieves that do houses, as proof, but I think that in relation to the guys in the van, the police have no evidence at the moment, nor do the friends want to dob them in for robbing the house...so we will see what happens.

I think the police are watching them with a close eye and waiting for them to stuff up badly :)

Thanks again guys for all your input and help :(

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By PranK · Posted

      A little follow up here on the ceramic coating.  We've had storms galore here and I've done a few ks, enough to gross them up  Consensus is that they didn't get as dirty as usual, the coating definitely repelled a little of the dirt and I think they kinda snowball. They get a little dirty and then they get dirty faster which makes sense. Cleaning them regularly would allow them to protect better.  Cleaning was a breeze. I tried first to just hose them off which, unsurprisingly, did nothing. But, making the wheels wet and then just wiping them over with a used but clean microfibre cloth was all that was required. I didn't need any cleaner at all, just water and a cloth. The wheels look amazing again.

      Gave her a nice wash today and took extra time to clean off the tree sap and tar and crap. We have a usable garage now so she'll stay cleaner longer. Took a few snaps in some nice light afterwards.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      OK, solid mount Z1 diff brace is in, pretty straightforward, it picks up 3 diff hat bolts and ties them to 2 support bolts on the subframe. Pretty sure someone else on here said they had reduced axle tramp with this but mine was already pretty good for smooth wheelspin, and still is....will see you this goes over time and whether I end up with a broken rear diff hat

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Ah yes, but the part in my hand was actually painted and fitted by me! I knew any front lip was likely to be sacrificial but I've had to fix it twice already... by the time I buy a fibreglass fixing kit, sort out sandpaper blocks, buy some fibreglass filler, body bog, spend the time and effort for a 'Greg' result... a new one being $290 seems like it's the better way to go and spray that with bedliner/raptor coat and we're all pretty again.. Would have preferred it last more than a month though. Them's the breaks I suppose.

      I find it funny that the USA is finding out all this really really weird stuff, and people from the USA are coming here treating it like gospel, yet, all the info on solving those issues is here on these forums for the last 15 odd years... Also, I know how much heat it takes to ignite the hood lining of an R33 skyline. I worked it out myself... It also took a LOT of time, and heat for it to do it... Big single, and I needed to drive the car, so retarded the timing off to "protect it". Yeah, that was a bad move for cruising on a freeway with only 15 degrees of timing on it. That was a lesson I learned around 2009. So that's over 15 odd years ago. Aligning water and oil, that's identical for any turbo engine, it's not Japanese specific. If a shop doesn't know how to make sure the core is rotated the right way, then they shouldn't be touching any turbo engine. That's not a matter of "We haven't had Skylines for that long here"...
