sorry to hear dude,

That happened to my bro with his first skyline, had no alarm, imob., kill switch etc. He parked it at strathfield while out with the mates, the car was stolen when he arrived back. He called me straight away and we went hunting for it.

For some reason he had a gut feeling that it would be around bankstown area cause it is quite near by. Suprisingly we found the car being thrashed down st hilliers/rookwood rd.

We called the police for assistance, they told us not to follow the car. I was like get fkd, the car isn't insured and thats basically giving it away.

The guys pulled over at a convenice store to buy smokes so we confronted them and it got quite physical. We didn't realise that there was still someone in the passanger. The guys took off and dumped the car, i think they thought it was quick tracked or something.

thought i'd give you abit of an insight to a bad situation which turned brighter.

But i'll keep an eye out for the car mate!!!

Good Luck with the hunt!!

The westfields carpark there is notorious for car theives. I had my old lancer broken into one night up there, called the cops they said usually around 10 cars get broken into each night.

I guess the lesson for everyone is that your first mod should be an alarm/immobiliser. You need an immobilser to get insurance, and if you don't have insurance you need one twice as much!

I hope you get your car back mate.

no news from police yet, no clues either... i really hope it was a bunch of joy riders.. its been 4 days now and i still wonder if my car is in one piece... i loved that car and i see so many other skylines around, it just rubs it in.

thanks for keeping an eye out guys and if anyone has some useful info please pm me.

my dad worked in special ops for Westfield and implemented the system where cameras are trained on peoples faces as they leave the carpark - at Parramatta Westfield.. I am not sure if they did this at Miranda

what the theives used to do is drag a trolley over the sensor and get a ticket out (as if they were a car entering the carpark), then steal a car, and use the ticket to get out of the carpark. They installed cameras that take the rego, and also a camera down low to take the persons face as they lean out to put the ticket in the machine!

Often the cops know the persons face if they are a local dropkick, so they just rock down to the dudes house and it's game over for them!

i suggest you talk to Westfield centre management ASAP about getting the camera footage to the cops...

have you tried this yet?

it's unbelievable the number of skylines stolen in Sydney... i still cant get past the fact my car could be torn apart or dumped... i wish i new... most people seem to recover them in a few weeks.. has anyone had theirs stolen and recovered it in Sydney?

honestly never leave you car in a car park. there are a few stories that the acually security guards call their mates to tell them a particular car has been parked and to try to get them to break in and steal it

also if you look on your insurance papers you will see that a lot of them state that if parked in a car park then the contract is void

Dam thats close to home! I always park my car in Security at westfield miranda, if thats not an option then i park it at KFC which is very open and i would consider very difficult to steal a car from as its on the main road and stuff. ill keep a look out for ya dude!

Best of luck

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
