Hey guys, Sunday night i left my R31 coupe outside the girls place at clayfield. come down to goto work and eveything was a mess, seats down and ash tray open. They took over 1500 with of all my tools for work, amp, speakers, sunnies ect...

Just want to remind everyone after it having happend to me and being told by the cops how often this does happen in brisbane to not leave any stuff in the car overnight. If they dont get caught in the act there's bugger all chance they will be caught.

Has anyone else had any problems with theft recently?

Cheers, Kev

not recently..

but i live very close to clayfield..

i had my last car stolen at toombul shopping centre.. took them 10 mins.. and its never been seen again.. its been 1 year now..

sorry about the bad luck man.. really i am.. look on the bright side of things.. Consider yourself lucky u still got some wheels though ;-)

I had our car broken into while I was less than 50 metres away at football training on Shaw Road at Kedron. Very busy road and the window was broken on the road side!! someone must have seen it but we seem to be blind to anything else going on these days. My wife's ID for her work was found on the only road leading to our estate. Seems they found our address and keys and were digging through her purse on the way to break into our house!! Big Dog is a good deterrant!!

This is why I cover everything up if I have to leave it. Move stuff to the boot etc. Seats back. Really if they cant see anything they will move on to the next car. Its too much of a risk for them to go digging for something that isnt there.

And with what Dave said. NEVER leave anything in the car to say where you live, and NEVER leave anything so they can start the car or get in to your work or house.

Some insurance companys will only cover a break in if its just that. If they BROKE in.

Hard luck tho dude.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
