cops dont do shit for car break ins.

gfs car got broken into, they took name, rego, parts stolen and chased her up about the damn TITLES of the CDs stolen for a week. WTF? go catch criminals not ring constantly asking exactly what cds were taken!

another mates S13 got nicked (the whole car) and he found it luckily a few streets away but they wouldnt come out for that until he footstamped and threatened until the did.

cops are useless unless your dead. then they seem to take notice.

no it is unless you speed, have big wheels, your car goes psssssttt, a loud exhust, or making clouds lol

then they are right up on your case

Thanks guys appreciate the support I have managed to source a window off another SAU'r at a good price which is great so hopefully that will help me save a few $$$. Big problem is when they cut the SAFC out my car is running like crap now it wont rev above 1700rpm am guessing because when the SAFC was installed they would have to cut and bypass a couple of wires. I will have to try and work out which ones have been cut and solder them back together. Hopefully I will be right but if anyone installed an SAFC and knows what wires I should be looking for or is an electrician (looks at Andrew) and is happy to lend me 5 minutes of phone time or pop out and have a quick look I would appreciate it (locted in the city area).

Cheers Leigh

If it was installed properly, it should have the plastic cable taps/cuts. Basically you put the original wire in and the wire from the safc in, close them up and it splices the original and feeds it into the safc wire. It would be pretty obvious which wires go where from looking at that. Thats if it was installed properly though :D

Otherwise its just a matter of matching colour to colour, wouldnt take more than 30 minutes to do.

Sorry to hear about it :D Exactly the reason I will never move to apartments. Their "secure" car parks seem to have the highest rate of theft.

And they reckon they are not revenue raising........give us a break, any real police work and you can't find them, they're too busy hassling some super criminal [not] for doing 5km/h over the speed limit and extracting a hefty fine as payment!!!

spewing to hear Leigh, id hate for a car to be so violated,

regarding the not running right, if you have a wiring diagram for either the safc or car, find the AFM signal wire and join the two ends together, thats the only wire that needs to be cut when putting an safc I in, not too sure about the II but, if you need a hand, give me a buzz, should be able to fix it up for you.

I remember when i was working in Tuggers there was a crash at the lights near Tyre Power. It was fairly serious, cars had to be towed and stuff. The cops didn't get down there for a full 30-40 mins after the accident (even though the crash had obstructed the road at one point). Police station is like...2 minutes walk away. What the hell?

Anyways, sorry to hear it Leigh. :thumbsup:

again cheers for the kind words all and nik and andrew were right when the safc was installed it just needed the AFM wires reattached and it started running fine again. So things are starting to look better except that i am stuck with a 1980 honda accord for the next week or so lol its a beast :thumbsup:

Yeah if your dodgy.

Scotch locks/insulation displacement joiners should never be used, they degrade the integrity of the conductor, which leads to wires breaking, hot jointing, short circuits etc.. things i certainly wouldnt want when dealing with something that (partly) controls my engine.

Sorry for O/T, but unfortunatly Leigh, i think the only way to have a "secure" carpark where you live is to put a fence and roller door on your parking spot. but on the bright(ish?) side, karmas a bitch, theyll get theirs...

My housemate used the secure parking under my last place. i was forced to park in the vistor parking for a year. i never had one problem being outside, and my car was (is) a lot better than his (exa). someone busted into his car under our secure parking and flogged all his work stuff including laptop etc as he was driving to sydney in the morning for work and had packed the night before. i think if they (crooks) have to try to break in they will, but my car wasn't a challenge so they left it alone. very ironic i think

Sorry to hear that leigh..

that would be my worst nightmare someone breaking into my car..

your kinda right about the car parks.. altho they say there secure, with gates and doors.. its also means there tucked away.. noboys is around.. easier to do what you want without being seen.. Were as if your car is out side in front of and appartment. its more likely for someone to see once the alarm has gone off.. if you get me..

IT may be called secure.. but its so secure no one can see it.. which makes it an easier target.

i had it happen twice in my R33, but they never broke a window. i found out how they got in though, it's not hard to break into cars without window frames.

hopefully you can get your stuff back together without too much hassle, i hated driving around in my car after it was ripped open, it just reminded me all the time of the incident.

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
