Warning: Car Theif targeting cars at Macquarie Centre


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have just been informed by a friend that his white R32 GTST was stolen the other night while parked at Macquarie shopping centre in Sydneys northern suburbs. He was seeing a movie and came out to find his car space empty and no sign of his R32 anywhere. Upon calling security they confirmed his rego and said his car had been found on the bottom level of Macquarie carpark blocking traffic - The theif or theives had by the looks of it tried to push the car and didnt appear to have succeeded in starting it.

The police that took his statement kindly commented that their is some young tool around 15 years of age who is known by police for having a thing for Nissans and he repeatedly steals Nissans from Macquarie along with other cars. They also mentioned that due to his age he continually gets away with it and proceeds to do it again.

Police apparently also added that many of the cars he steals are found in the housing commision parking in the area and funnily enough they also made mention of the address of the offender saying that it was clearly his work, they recognised the signs ie the drivers seat so far foward it almost touched the wheel etc etc.

Im sure these facts will interest alot of people who are sick to death of their pride and joy being stolen and ripped off by these theiving scum.

Be careful people!

guys im going out with my g/f to the movies tonight out at penrith.......

i hope no one comes to visit him tonight with a basball bat....

and even if they do it wont be me coz like i said ill be at the movies with my g/f

:)

pm me address please... just curious as to where he lives thats all

My car was attempted to be stolen from maq centa, unfortunately all they did was get down the ramp to talevera rd, and then they realised the engine wouldn't start so they tried to roll it in neutral. It wouldn't roll, so they dumped it n ran. By the looks of it they had tried to get the steering wheel and stereo out but failed.

From then on I left my car at work in Nth Ryde n went with a mate in his bomb :)

I've had a fair few friend loose steering wheels n sh!t at maq centa... think its about time they installed cameras.

It'll stop them from taking the whole car, but it hurts just as much when they scratch or take something small.

I still want to give this young meat some westside lovn. He can be my personal b*tch to whip... :rolleyes:

heh, maq centre has been RENOWNED for a LONG TIME for this!! i know a HEAP of people personally who have had their cars stolen/broken into/damaged while it has been parked there...

never go there!

I've heard exactly the same thing ages ago Prank, Macquarie shopping centre is just too ****ing dodgy - I've never had any problems with Westfield at Chatswood, Hornsby, and Liverpool though - any one on here heard anything about those places?

But yeah definetly steer clear of macquarie :-/

I have heard rumours about Macquarie Center but i wasn't sure how credible the allegations were. Now, after reading this forum the truth has been exposed.

I have parked my Skyline there many times before, thankfully nothing has happened, but now after reading this forum I am thankful my $8000 NISMO wheels are still on my car.

Thanks for the warning, I'll stick with Chatswood or Hornsby Westfield.

Cheers,

Simon :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :eek:

they mainly target Tuesday nights where most are there to watch a movie or Thursday nights... some watch movies after shopping?? I haven't heard much of stuff happening during the daytime though, I used to work in North Ryde and goto Macquarie Uni and parked my car there alot of times.

Yeah, Livo Westfields is surely a no go zone and also Parramatta and Burwood Westfields. I personally know of people who's had their car done at those places. I guess the best thing is to stay clear of big shopping centre carparks alltogether, especially at night.

A basic tip is to not draw attention to yourself before you park. That is, don't rev your motor so the world can hear, make your BOV scare the crap out of old people, and also don't pump your stereo out loud before you park. Doing these things simply announces to theives that you have arrived and got gear worth knocking off.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
