Mate this is FKN horrible.

I would go to the police and explain to them what happened and how the car was taken.

Get the police to investigate and sue the crap outta those f**kers.

Please keep us updated I hope you get the gtr back.

I think i am going to start removing my ECU when parking my car.. i dread this happening to me infact i have nightmares that my car gets stolen and stripped for parts.. talk about paranoid but yeah I feel for you mate :D

Police is the last place you would go to get help with this sort of thing, for them its just "another" case and part of their everyday operations, its just another file on their "system"

They dont investigate anything or sue anyojne unless u got hard evidence.... (eg. u found the car and need to recover it through the authorities)

If you report it to the police all it means it will allow u to claim on insurance, and that suspicious cars that are pulled over or borught to attention are cross checked with the reported car...... they dont even require engine or chasis numbers in the police, report just rego etc...

Dude, don't waste any time, you have way to much to loose.

Head straight to the police station and report everything.

As for the installer, go and have a serious chat to him. Ask him what he was doing the night your car was stolen?

Good luck

I doubt it was the installer who actually stole the car himsef hes got a business to run, hes proabably got dodgy mates who he gives these dogy c**ts the heads up if theres any nice cars that he works on sets it all up and shit and get a bit of the cut from the sale of parts. Unless u have some hard evidence this dickhead and his mates are doing these operations at the end of the day they just going to get away with this.

Its sucks big time !!! dont go to dodgy places !!!

This person you suspect is behind the theft? I'd go and pay a visit, not that kind of visit, just go and see if he acts in an unusual manner while you're there, you can tell a ot about body language?...

if he is off middle easten backgroung he will look suspisious any way hahahaha

sorry to hear about you car dude i hope you find the dirty arab bastards that did this

post-25326-1141132610.jpgThanks again to everyone who have responded, your support is overwelming!

You have all got gold hearts!

The installer in question is not the owner but a guy who is going out with the owners daughter and because he didnt have a job the owner employed him.

I spoke to a soliciter today who mainly deal with motor cars and they told me, based on the information that was left behind on the remote (that the alarm was triggered then disarmed) and the fact the installer did not explain to me about the "disarming without a remote" feature, and was convenietly located on the flashing led which doubles up as a disarming button(which i mounted on the dash for maximum visibility), I have a reasonable case.

What gets me is I have seen this disarming feature in other alarms but it is always hidden under the dash with the rest of the wires, sometimes even hard to find.

Why would such a large company like "directed electronics" make it so easy for someone to bypass your $1000 dollar car alarm as long as you have a key.

The solicitor said if i loose the case it would cost anywhere from 3-6 grand depending on how long it takes. But if we win we will be claiming 30 grand plus legal cost. They asked me to think about it and get back to them.

(sore a cool GTR pass by me today, f**k I mis that sound!!)

What does everybody think?

And yes I did go back and confront the installer and he did not look suprised, if fact shortly after I told him about the theft he excused himself and went straight back to work!

One again thanks

Went to the police on monday, told them everything and they said they would investigate it.

Still havnt heard anything from them.

thanks.

f**k me! I'm sorry sorry to hear about your loss champ... she looked mint!

as you can see from my signature, I'm in the same position as you... only my claim is a little different.

all the best with it, here's hoping that it's a smooth and relatively painless procedure for you.

my only aditional comment is that most alarms (i've had a couple of hornet systems - one of which was similar to your and cost me a grand) have that vallet switch as a bypass in case the battery in your remote goes flat etc. Usually you'd have to turn the ignition on and do something with the switch then kick the car over. so technically you can do the same thing hot wiring the car and using the vallet switch.

also, a 3 point immoboliser really doesn't do any where near as much as people think it does... 3 lots of electrical wire and they will have your car with ease.

sorry to be a bit glum on it, i know it doesn't help but i thought i should put my 2c in.

Once again, all the best with it!

Take it to the police and hound them.

If the guy has a pattern of doing this there will be a trail of commonality that his clients are the ones losing cars. If one or two people have mentioned this to the police it should all match up on the system.

Keep hounding the police.

which installer was it anyways ? just incase there is something dodgy going on....

The installers name is quickfit and i think the have changed their name to melbourne car sound. They are on the corner of high and yan st in preston, melborne.

I went out there with a mate today to sus things out more, and found out his 22 yo The land of goat sphincter rings installer has gone on holidays to queensland?

When I asked how he was getting up there I was told driving. Aparently he was in newcastle at about 10am today.

Now im no police man but how many people today drive from melbourne to queensland for a holiday today?

Then I told him I would taking him to court.

He then stopped talking to me and asked me to leave.

i doubt confronting the shop would do anything.. if they have anything to do with it i doubt there just gonna own up to it..

when you went there though did you chat to the owner of the store ??? or just the employee's ?

thanks for the reply and good luck finding your car and money.

talked to them both and i dont trust them but i cant prove it!

its odd that they asked u to leave straight away..

if i had a business and someone wrongly accused me i simply provide them with proof why i didnt do it..

their behaviour suits someone that has heard those words before.

i think your only hope is making contacts.. find someone who knows a cop or works for a telephone company that can find out home addresses, phone numbers, bank details, criminal history, business history... whatever.

going to court with that evidence in my opinion will get you no where.

your better off paying your mate with insurance $1000 to install an alarm in his car and use it as bait.

you have a better chance than $3000+ fees and no evidence

goodluck

the other day i came back to my gtr it was parked at bunnings for only 5 mins. Someone popped the rear boot lock and actually took it. I heard from some people that they use it to create a key and seeing they got my number plates they can get my address then they simply come and take the car with a key in the night. Now my car isnt at home anymore at all and i dont even drive it. Just a warning to people for this new way of stealing cars ...

yes i agree if you have a key its easy, but you get an alarm installed by someone dodgy its even easier.

Protect your cars guys!

I never thought of that ,the lock and getting a key made up, the other night my bogan mates vl calais turbo's door lock dissapeared !! from in his drive way.

Leave the installer alone as he can have you charged for harassment ,can only contact him certain amount of times a week and certain amount of phone calls etc ,

I have heard of this happening ,few years back, big investigation because Campbelltown Strathfield car radios customers cars dissapear after getting alarms ,systems etc .

i didnt know u could make a key up from a lock?

How did they remove the lock? Was the boot forced open or did they use some kind of puller around the lock itself. Visegrips maybe?

IF it wasn't sure the large amount of court cases, i still liked the idea of attaching a capacitor to the boot lock and arm it with the alarm system, so when the alarm is active those wanting to go through the boot will be surprised...a little at least if they had a key :).....

    • 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/
