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.

    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful         
    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
