Guys,

Can you please look out for my mates Evo 6 that was stolen last friday (4th) from Harbourside Carpark, Darling Harbour around 2pm. This is a picture of it:

Some distinctive features:

- The wheels are 18" Black Racing Pro-N1 in bronze

- APEXi and Blitz stickers on the small window on the rear door

- Aftermarket exhaust

I'll post up further details (actual model) of the Ford ute that was involved in th

There was cameras but there on the exit and entrance of the carpack i saw the car tailgating another and being tailgated by another stolen ford ute. it happened on the 4th of january at 2pm day light

the car had central locking and 3d party +theft.

I am offering a $5000 reward for the successful RECOVERY of the vehicle to the first person who recovers it and calls the police when they spot the car. Or to the person who gives the police relevant information that leads to recovering the car.

The reward will be given to you once the car is in police hands.

If you do call the police and help make sure to notify them of your name in order for me to know who to give the reward to.

Thanks guys as you can see I just want my car back!

habourside carpark is a know hot spot for car theft. same story, they target cars without alarms. and sadly if you can't afford a decent alarm mostly you can't afford (or get) insurance either. bad news :P

they do the same thing. find nice car without alarm, come in with a stolen car. steal car, tailgate on the way out. the bloody carpark operators don't care. they only have camers to get numberplates of people who try and get out without paying. they don't actually care about security.

fact is any alarm can be messed with the best option is, use Any deterent including clublock, etc to deter any theft.

Dam i used to park my car in starcity carpark no worries but with the recent spate of thefts i dont risk it. Also i wouldnt leave my car in any multi story car park.

Like BB said, Harbourside dont care at all about anything bar the $22 fee people try to evade, that goes for most parking centres!

so hw to get decent alarm?? some peeps have alarms but still get stolen

will this car had no alarm at all. so any alarm would be a step above that. but basically forget an alarm for protecting your car. just buy something with 3pt immobiliser, back-up battery siren, and black wiring and have it installed somewhere reputable.

The real thing protecting your car is INSURANCE. I cannot stress that enough. no alarm will help you when faced with someone just using a tow truck to tow your car away. but comprehensive insurance will.

BB: I'm always security conscious but with the new prepay systems being used we're miles away from the exit. I personally regularly patrol the carparks i work at but still have had cars stolen on my shift. With up to 6 levels of parking and over 1000 cars its hard.

I chased down a stolen car the other month at the Royal North Shore hospital multi level carpark, and got the plates of the stolen car and the car the thieves came in and reported to police. But in all honesty surely they changed the plates or used another stolen car to come in with?

I don't park in carparks especially around market city and darling harbour, famous for car thieves and gives them a quiet sheltered place to steal ur car. Much safer parked on a busy street outside a bright convenience store.

lol, I used to Kryptonite lock a wheel around the suspension on my GTR and set the PFC rev limit to minimum (1200 I think) and hide the hand contoller AND disconnect the ignitor and crank angle sensor. Paranoid much?

i wish i knew how to do all of that....

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
