Car got broken into in my driveway last night. Lots and lots of things stolen. Lots of things smashed to steal things.

I am very very unhappy :D

All the Apexi gear was taken (RSM, AVCR, boost guage) so if anyone (particularly VIC members) hears of these and other things for sale in a dodgy manner - notify the police to check it out.

Really pissed to hear that mate.;) What f@rken a55ho1es!!!

Hope you get your car back to scratch and that the insurance doesn't stuff you around!!

Hate to say this, but sounds like some inside knowledge. How did they know that your alarm is not equiped with some kind of motion detector.

The reason the alarm did not go off is probably due to a lack of motion/infra red sensors. If they didn't open the doors or try to start the car the alarm could not detect the theives. If you wish to not install any motion detectors (as they are known to sometimes false alarm) an idea to to install a 'trigger switch' (similar to the ones in your doors or under your 'hood' and 'boot' lids) in your 'center console' and 'glove box';) . A theif will almost definately look in these areas for goods, and once they are opened they break the electrical circuit and the alarm will trigger. :uh-huh:

... bunch of savages. I dont understand why they take things like the AVC-R, its useless unless they pop the hood and take the MAP sensor, wiring and solenoid valves as well.

The hide of people, the courts have a lot to answer to, theft like this cost insurance companies $$$, owners heartache, and often these people are known to Police and have committed similar offences before.

... anyone read the comic PUNISHER when they were younger?

Anyways, hope insurance does the right thing by you, and your back motoring soon.

... and AL, is this is DIY job, is it a matter of a few $$$ at Jaycar then wiring them in series with those for the doors???

Its weird how most people who have their car's broken into or the ones we here about on here are from Sydney. Is Sydney really this bad? Looking at performance forums almost 95% of the stolen posts are from people in Sydney.

Surely this stuff has to happen elsewhere? I know it would but why does Sydney have so much more car theft then other cities?

Thanks all for your support.

I have spoken to the main Apexi distributers here in Melb asking them to notify police if anyone comes in wanting the 'extra' parts of the AVCR and RSM.

Re: serial nos - I don't have any of the ones from the car stuff - as they were on the car already. The other personal items taken had serials - have been given to police.

The GTR-88 plates were taken. If you see them driving around - call the cops.

Re: alarm - I have no idea how they got around it. Really really f*cked. :P

Quite upset about it all. Will keep you posted.

Thanks again

james

Do you have motion/infra red sensors in the car? With a car like that, i would seriously consider an upgrade in car security.

Really sorry to read about loosing all those sentimental goods. A car can be fixed/replaced, but goods that have alot of personal value are priceless. One thing that wasn't stollen were your memories, sounds a little corny, but your gf will always be in your mind and heart.

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I said Garrett style. Not Garrett genuine. And something in the G30 550 range is what you want. Not those pokey little old fashioned T28 sized things. The intake ports in the head are small. There is little benefit in fattening up the runners and leaving ths actual ports small. Just run what you've got. And on the subject of Nistune vs Haltech etc..... You know you can control the transmission with decent standalone ECUs these days, right? No need to keep any of that old Nissan bullshit. Don't get me wrong - I use Nistune on my Neo. But it is a DET, so the number of bodges and workarounds I had to do to make it work in a chassis without ABS, TCS, etc, is quite small compared to the herniated arsehole you will have trying to make it work on a motor that doesn't have some of the things that the turbo ECU wants to see. Just easier to bite the bullet and go aftermarket outright.

      Hmm. Only when the f**king thing is actually working. Still can't find the leak. And that's with dye being put in the last 3 times!

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok so will run the piping over that radiator and no plenum it is. Put that money towards a Haltech and see what suits. Any ideas something like an elite 2000 or 2500 right? My long term goal is 300kw e85 and manual swap and that’s a dream come true. For now will be 200kw and auto the stock rb25det neo intake isn’t too expensive with throttle body. If I was to have the port matching done, Would that be better than the stock de intake as the det has bigger holes plus has the spots for sensors etc? And suit more long term?  appreciate the advice?

      You understand AFR is not the only thing that contributes to it pinging yeah? Funnily, what the AFR gauge will tell you when it likely is pinging, is going to make you think things are really safe and good.
