^ hmm interesting..

I remember when i use to rock up for work, some security people were on there laptops doing something..

I then thought they were probably getting free wireless internet lol.. But now you mention about using cameras to zoom in 2 blocks away etc etc - make sense..

But they didnt seem dodgy ppl.. coz i knew one of them (well friend of a friend)

Well I did know a couple of the Miranda Security guys...But they seemed to be pretty honest normal kind of guys. These carparks attract massive amounts of car theives. We even had a honda CRV spare wheel theif at the centre I was working for a while....But we caught him red handed. For those that dont know Honda CRV comes with the spare on the outside and the spare itself is one of the alloy wheels.So this dude would come in and steal one .When he had a set of 4 he would sell them as a set

As they were the spare they were seldom used so they were always in immaculate condition. He would get top dollar for them. I think to purchase new they are a fortune. Some of the Centres do have security roaming the carparks...Its just that some are better than others...But I will keep an eye out for this car...

I was looking for a new job lol cheers

the funny thing is most of the dodgy people i used to see at blacktown station were always shaking hands with the security guards.

One of things that make you go 'hmmm'

Feel your pain and been looking for you dude! I saw one almost the same from a distance parked yesterday so I parked illegally and jumped out to take photos, wasn't until I got close that I realised it was a Tommy Kaira instead.

Anyone go to burwood recently? La hoods shaking hands with security, places robbed and police turn up before security..

Hello!?

Heres one that may surprise you....At Burwood too...just a few years ago several of their security got arrested for armed hold up of the shops in their proximity.Apparently the guys ran away from the scene still wearing the pants with the company logo on the back pocket. I know for a fact at least one of them got jail time.i know a few of the others lost their security licence and their job over it. True story....I knew some of these clowns....really surprised me

i received a phone call yesterday, with a strange voice

he said he know where my car is , somewhere near either bankstown or blacktown, i didn't hear probably, but he said thats all he can tell me and he cannot say anything extra, then hung up

so i don't know where i should start searching from

The police can trace the number.. Well they will try and ring the phone company up etc

BUT WTF!! how does the theif know your number?

Unless he reads the forums and you posted it up?

Either that or could be someone you know?

Or the friend you having troubles with or something?

Blacktown eh ? I will keep an eye out in that area as it is close to where I live..Bankstown would be a better bet..If it was an HSV Commodore I would say Blacktown for sure...I keep all eyes out for this car...I got a strange feeling you will get it back..lets hope so

To the person who ring me up on sunday morning

please ring me again and say where my car is, i will not asked anymore question, i just want to know where the car is

and to be notice i will offer some money to get my car back

Are you seriously slow? Its bankstown mate, Commonly known for being the strip shop of sydney.. I would get there asap and check the back streets next to the stations and back lanes.. They always dump them there.. I dont often see skylines dumped tho..

They dont hang around long

Name-calling is a bit over-the-top, Nathaniel, so please remove it and think before you type.

It's far from nice, and if you hadn't added any info on where Silver-Darkside should look, nor would it be helpful.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
