Pretty smart, take it across sydney so you maximise the amount of attention .. jezuz..

they ran an eway instead of paying 3.50.. you can never know.. they could have taken the car over there to get it reported over there at liverpool but really its somewhere else, just to make me think im looking in the right area.. these people are smart they know what they are doing.. just gotta think like them :P

i dont know about the other cars.. but know many stolen cars that didnt have plans for an alarm or insurance.. they just thought they lived in a safe area.. my case was different.. i actually had an autoelectican booked to come over to my garage to install my alarm on monday afternoon right after it got stolen..

and kevin isnt bullshiting about his r34 stolen.. stop giving him shit that he had no alarm or insurance.. many cars get stolen with club locks and alarms.. dont think you are any better than the rest of us.. do you think everyone in sydney look at this forums to know miranda isnt the place to park? things like this happen and they happen for a reason.. so come back down to earth if you think u are better cos you have an alarm.

To all these fools who think an alarm is the answer, wake up.

One of my friends who is an auto-electrician broke into my car cleanly and then started it regardless of the alarm and immobliser while I was standing there, took him about 40 seconds and no alarm was triggered.

Get yourselves a GPS track and good insurance because at the end of the day, if a professional car thief wants your car, they will get it. So stop giving people a hard time for not having an alarm when they've just gone and lost their pride and joy, I doubt very much if they posted it on here in order to get flamed by you keyboard warriors. Put yourself in their shoes and don't pay them out FFS

spotted a similar car on Victoria road west bound then right turn at Spurway street, Ermington at around 7:30 tonite

caught my attention because it looks good and was going quite fast

I would approach the management first.They would have to know this shit is happening in their carpark,some duty of care needs to be taken on their behalf.

and if you need to park you car there or any car park get an alarm or kill switch so these f**kers can not take it.

the only place my car is parked is in my garage,i dont even park it in the driveway.Call me paranoid,but atleast i still have my car.

Another thing,these cars are obviously sought after,might be an idea to buy a run around car for a daily driver as i have done,and i know many other members who have done the same.

Mate sorry to say this but Westfields couldnt give a Rats ass....I used to work as Security for Westfields at other locations than Miranda for just on 5 yrs.They know it happens, Public never really find out just how many vehicle ( And Violence may I also add ) thefts and Vandalism occur in their centres.After I finally resigned from them I had my own car broken into and stereo,Boost controller + turbo timer stolen.Now I tried this path and even had a Solicitor follow this up..As I had my car parked right opposite the lift entrance...so close to the lift doors you could even touch the car..Nothing..!! No video evidence at all...So I passed on this information to my Solicitor..My case was looking good too..All of the entrances to the Carparks had warnings that Westfields denies all responsibilty for damages incurred etc etc..As I was working in one of the dept stores at the time I had to park in the staff parking area.Which sucked...Easiest place to steal a car as well...What was in my favour however was the fact that of all these disclaimer signs they have,the one speed ramp as they call it that gets to the staff carpark the quickest didnt have any of these signs..And I had Photo evidence.I walked up the Ramp with my camera in hand taking Photos of the no signs...This was my big chance to get them.When I passed this on to my Solicitor however..Westfield used the Pissweak excuse that I used to be Security for them for years and I sould have known of the Disclaimer signs...So long story short..I lost that one, And I couldnt afford to fight them any more..They used some of the Best Solicitors ..Cost is No object...So Today My whole Family Boycotts Westfields...I wish other people would also..Get rid of the Monopoly of the retail industry.

ie. 90% of thieves!

Jon I think you missed what I was trying to say. I wasn't saying that you shouldn't have an alarm and immobilisor but it's pretty obvious that these thieves are not joyriders, therefore constantly telling people they should've had an alarm and giving them a hard time in a thread about their car being stolen is not really productive. And no that is not aimed at any one person in particular, just seems to be all people post in these threads and it's not right.

GTR-32U - Do you know why westfield cant invest in better security? lol.. as in cameras on all entry and exists etc etc.. Boom gates etc etc..

But im glad you tried to fight them!! You had good courage!!

Hehe yeah I know what you meant :huh:

Actually judging by that S14 that was stolen from Miranda, the guys just needed a ride to star city (where the car was found!). That sounds more like joyriders than professional thieves to me!

It's not about giving people a hard time about not having alarm/insurance - Its a method of making a point to other people reading these threads. Its giving a clear message to those who havent got security and are lucky enough not to have had their car stolen yet. You need security, or you will more than likely end up the author of one of these threads!

They are only interested in covering their asses.Not preventing theft.They always have most of their cameras in the food courts. Why you ask ? They are looking for video evidence to avoid paying a claim on slips and falls injuries.Generally they try and pin it on one of the food shops in the centre.They will try anything.Next time you go to a Westfield just look around the ceilings for the obvious cameras and they also use those dark ball shaped ones..These are remote control.And damn they are good too. I wont name the centre however one of the ones I worked in I was able to use one of the remote cameras on the rooftop carpark.This thing on full zoom was able to shoot right across the whole carpark and I was able to read the number plate of a car 2 blocks away from the centre.They tend to also focus their cameras on escalators and travelators as well as these are the places where people take a dive and go for compo.I used to fill in their incident report forms..i know what they try.i have even had to take a picture of a womans slightly worn stiletto so that they can use it as evidence against her. Had to put it on the report for their solicitors to be a " Contributing factor " for the incident....

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
