I am sure some of you already know about this (and there might be other posts on this matter - but I haven't read any)

There is a group going across sydney apartments breaking in to cars and taking everything.

They hit the apartment across the road from me two weeks ago, 80+ cars had smashed windows and anything of value was taken from inside. This is from underground 'secure' car parks with video surveillance. I am pissed that management did not bother to tell us the place across the road had been done, and so had others in the area.

The main reason I rented this apartment was because of the security parking - 2 security gates to drive in/out of the carpark.

My apartment building was hit Thursday night, and at first count 57 cars were broken into (that came from the window repair duder who was the only one that is coming out on top from all of this - so there were probably more that haven't had them fixed yet).

The little bastards broke through a fire door and must have had someone on lookout, but they got a lot of stuff - mainly GPS units, cash, sunnies and the like.

The window bloke said it has been happening all across sydney lately and he has never been so busy (but I don't think he is behind it all haha)

I am really really lucky that I ordered the wrong cams for my car and because of that, it was not ready in time to be picked up last Thursday.

They seemed to know what they were doing as they smashed front and rear windows in cars with alarms so they didnt have to open doors to check front and back.

Has anyone else had the same thing happen near them recently?

Same thing happened to a mate of mine. "Security" car park in unit block, lots of windows smashed including his R33. Pennant hills area.

Sucks big time...

Apparently they have been doing apartments too - whilst people are home too. The cops said its getting really bad at the moment.

I am not bringing my car home from the workshop because of this, and have moved expensive items from my apartment.

I move out in 3 weeks just need to not get robbed before then - super paranoid

And yes I have insurance - but huge excess.

Those "security" car parks are not in the least bit secure. I've had my wheels stolen from a previous place I lived in.

I thought you would have left for Queensland by now Heath? Get going!

I am going as fast as I can, 17 days to go, can't wait.

Car wont be ready though, it will be trucked up later/

Same thing happened to me when I lived in Chippendale (Ultimo area) but that was about 8 months ago.. we got them on camera but cops couldnt do much.. they hit at 2.30am on saturday night..

These guys knew they were on tape, looked straight at the cameras and stuck their fingers up. Wearing hoodies and sunnies.

I had no idea it was this bad in Sydney.

Happened to a mate of mine not too long ago, maybe 3 weeks. "Secured" apartment underground parking got broken into and they got into 30+ cars. Nobody saw or heard anything...

This happened a week after he moved into the place.

Some f**k stick tried to break into the house accross from home last night but the dogs were enuf to wake us. He was last seen running his ass off.

They should be hung. Honest people are getting shafted by them and are most likely paying their dole check. They are diceing with death these wankers.

That's a bitch.. I'm about to move out into an apartment but I think I'm going to ensure I get an older place which has a single lockup garage so I can install some extra security measures of my own..

My car's fully insured but it's all about the hassle.. I don't want to have to go through the whole process of getting the car fixed just because some scumbags decided they like my stereo system enough to steal it

Happened at my work maybe a month and a bit ago they just smashed windows and took nothing really valuable at all just mainly causing damage. My mate was on duty he went down there and attempeted to take him down but was threaened if he came any closer he would f**king stab him. He said he looked like a junky off the street chased him all the way through the city while on the phone to police biut not getting to close as he didnt wana get stabbed.

Happened when a resident came home and he snuck under the security gate as it was almost closed.

SCUM

Our apartment block got hit last night.. They hit the main garage and the one near the lifts.. They must of missed the GTR thank god becuase it was parked behind a ute. Apparently they took one of the buzzers from one of the cars.. It's a "secure car park" too..

Someone needs to stop this asap!

If they have a buzzer, they'll be back. Get the cars out ASAP

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
