I hope the criminal justice system does what its supposed to do!

and WTF is with the joker card? If it is a calling card, most cliche, try hard thing ever.

but werent they trying to burn the car, so wouldnt they expect the card to burn up as well?

yea hope those pricks get what they deserve! Hope this time around the justice system does prevail and sentence these pricks properly.

On a lighter note, how much was the car insured for? and has your mate decided what car he's going to buy next?

I might go check out the auction and see what the car goes for

This scares the s**t out of me, I have to leave my car in shopping centre carpark for work all the time, gonna rig up some kill switches to go with my pager alarm and 3 point immobiliser.

So many imports being stolen lately its fcuked, be careful ppls because it can happen in broad daylight anywhere

Madaz, he had an RAA installed and supplied alarm and immobiliser. it was their top of the range equipment with multiple killswitches etc. im 99% sure that they are a Cyclopes model.

shy_s6, thanks of posting that. i'll let him know about the jeep :/

another update. this is from Sam (the owner)

The pricks caught stealing my laurel yesterday have been linked to several other nissan's and other cars which have been stolen. Got a call last night from CIB (Crime Investigation Bureau), saying that the two caught were in custody and will be charged with theft, arson and many other offences. So those who have had there nissan's or other cars stolen recently go to the local cop shop and ask if they have any leads. It might make you a happy person to find out that the cops have actually spent our time and money doin somethin worth while, rather than defectin cars which look nice and are not endangerin others lives.

As many of us thought there had been the link in all the thefts of imports lately, so no need to be scared of such low-life scum anymore.

A special thanks goes to fuzzydice for puttin 2 and 2 together to catch these pricks, your lead actually made the cops find them. I'm grateful that the car had been found in reasonable condition, even though its an insurance write-off. However i will be approachin the insurance co about the wreck. I will hopefully get the wreck and be sellin it, i know a few people are interested so PM me for more info. (The car is complied with RB20DET in it all legit, so it would be perfect for track or rebuilt for road)

Once again thanks to all those guys who put in effort and created any leads.

ah yeah wouldnt of said there that good and if RAA installed it they prolly put the cyclops stickers on it

Umm, isn't the joker the 53rd card? ie. 52+1? How is it the 49th?

That's what I was thinking although it would be +2.

Hopefully we'll see a drop in the theft of imports now. There have been too many lately.

Hi Guys

i work in the mawson lakes area and recently had my car broken into and attempted to be stollen (ignition and under dash ripped apart). Luckily while the car was in the car park prior to this someone picked up the license plate and i have since acquired the address of this plate, hoping the car used wasnt also stollen. Aparently it was the guys involved with all of the other stollen nissans going around.

Ill be payin a visit to this house in a matter of days....

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
