Just got badged!!

Dirty F***ers!

I was at my GF's in Chipping Norton and was only away from my car between 6pm and 8:00pm and the the bastards hit me front, back and sides! They've jimmy'd the boot lock out and screwed the boot. The rest of the paint work looks ok...

I'd spent the whole day driving around the country side getting quotes on bits and pieces for my car and had made a few fixes to the point where I was extremely happy with the days achievments... and this goes and happens. I know they were there this morning and the car was only left unattended for about an hour while at Warringah mall having lunch. I'm positive they were there then!

Man! I am sooo dirty! :goddam:

I called the cops and asked if there was anything i could do about it and they pretty much said it wasn't worth their time... Making a report and taking it down to the station shortly... Won't be worth claiming on insurance, the excess will be heaps more than the cost to repair...

I'm also writing a letter to the units' manager requesting better security and to repair the flood light that is sitting there broken for months... Apparently there has been other occurences of this sort of stuff going on around the area.

How brave are they though!? only a couple of hours with people coming home all the time and driving into the lockup parking either side of the visitor parks...

Does anyone know a good place around Sydney (pref. West) to replace these parts. Nissan dealers and Justjap spring to mind. Any ball park figures of what I'd be looking at? at least a couple of hundred I'd presume for the front SII badge, 2x GT badges and new lock for boot.

Anyone else had this happen? Did a search through the forums and noticed that a guy in Perth had gone through the same thing and had posted. Presume that it's pretty frequent.

I'm off to make a nasty poster to stick to the wall where my car was parked... Feel a BIT better now i've got that off my chest. If anyone, by some very small chance, hears about anything to do with this, I'd be very appreciative... :box:

Thanks for the suggestions guys. In Surfers atm. This happened the night before I left, so it put a bit of a dampener on things. Will sus it out when i get home.

I'll be keeping a look out for that white van Brody. You live around the area?

There's 2 other skylines that live in the complex. That reminds me, there's skylines everywhere up here! Have especially seen a heap of done up R31's.....

Don't think the GF will let me and one won't fit in the suitcases as they are already filled with girly clothes etc. :)

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
