Hey guys my skyline was broken into yesterday (Monday 15th may) at the CIT car park in Bruce. Between 10:25am and 2:00pm. They new what they were after and had all the tools for the job!. They un screwed my bolted down sub box busted my amp smashed the dash and flogged the head unit, remote and every thing in the glove box and centre console

List of gear stolen

Alpine 9811 cd/mp3 head deck

2x Alpine type S 12” dual voice coil subs

1 pair of black Oakley XX’s Sunnies

And a wallet of mainly burnt cd’s

Also this may or may not be related but there are two cars that have been hanging around CIT a black s13 and a bright green Nissan exa. The two cars showed up at my place two days before. I wasn’t home at the time but I was just down the street so I saw the two cars. They stoped out the front of my parents place (I don’t know how they found it) and started revving there engines, my mum went out side and they were screaming there heads off saying they wanted to race me in a street race. My mum to them to f’ off, and grow up. So this may have been retaliation?. If any one knows these guys or have seen them around please let me know

And if any one hears anything about some alpine stereo gear please let me know

Thanks guys

I know the feeling all too well, i had 2 stereos stolen from my R33, as well as whatever was in the car the the respective times. moral of the story for me was to not leave anything visable.

will keep an ear/eye out for it, but i wouldn't hold my breath.

bright green nissan exa......maybe an aqua sorta colour?

if so, sounds like a guy who goes by the username "tyler" on the syndicatemotorsports forums

i'm not dobbing the bloke in, for saying that it was him at all, but there aren't many bright green exa's in canberra, so maybe hit him up

Edited by GTS_DUY

i found out this morning that 5 other cars were hit at the same time all of them with good sterios. i bellive all the cars that got done were tageted they, would have been rooming the aria for weeks posably? checking what cars were there at what times of the day. so i have lent a big leeson from this ALWAYS TURN YOUR STERIO DOWN BEFORE YOU ARIVE AT YOUR DESTINATION. dont let people hear you coming. and dont tell strangers know what you've got.

AND ABOVE ALL, IF YOU HAVE A GOOD CAR GET OFF YOUR ASS AND GET A HALF DESENT SECURITY SYSTEM!!!!!!. (protect your invesment before spending your money on other things)

(this is just a quick apollogy to those who hate it when people write in caps)

Damn, sorry to hear that Viper. I actually work at Bruce CIT, haven't seen your car around but I think I know which s13 you are talking about...not sure who drives it though.

Sorry to hear bout your loss, got the same issue today myself when I got out of my place so now my r33 is sitting in the carpark here at work with no passenger window since O'Brian's don't seem to stock them :angry:

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
