Hi Guys,

My ride has been taken from me on Thursday 17th April, 2008 around the shire area. It is a White 1995 Skyline GTR with the rego plate BFC-39V. If anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated. Any parts that are being sold in the area could be from my car.

dam sorry to hear bout this. Please tell me you didnt park it in Westfields... Do u have insurance? probably the same mob that hit a few of the imports in that area.

crapp,

im soo sorry to hear, where abouts did you park, I live in the shire too, so i just wanna be aware. But , mhm its only been a day...maybe it will turn up soon. Should go around shire area this weekend.

i'll keep my eyes peeled!

that sucks mate :blink: I'm going to go out on a limb here and say no alarm, no insurance. it's always the way. all these threads but people still don't learn that spending some good money on those things is worth every cent.

good alarm sometimes is usually worthless.. if a crook does his research and knows what alarm you're using, then he/maybe she could BYO alarm module & remote, plug and play and drive off...

e.g. like Mongoose, very popular alarm, favoured by alot of imports but

M20, M60 M80 AU/G/XXX all use the same loom. Get the picture?

I used to have a M80 in my car, ripped it out, and wired up a yumcha alarm from eBay.. feel more safe like that.

Insurance is the only way to go, but at 3k per year... its not the most cost effective solution.

well if you get a theif looking at 2 cars. one with alarm, one without what do you think he will chose? there is no real need for thieves to 'research' your alarm because there are plenty of people out there with no alarm to keep them busy. sure if you have a really special car they may go to the effort of disabling your alarm to steal the car, but most will just move on to the next un-armed car. sure it wont stop any determined theif, but the main benefit of a decent alarm is it means you can get insurance. it may not seem cost effective but it's well worth it if your car is stolen. also you say $3000 a year? that is crazy, but even if that is the case if you took up that policy the premium would most likely halve the next year.

also, if a good alarm is so worthless why is it that every "my car got stolen" thread I can think of in the last year none of those cars had alarms? also personally I've had many cars and only even had one stolen, and it just had a basic factory fitted thing. all the others have had reasonable alarms. could be coincidence, but maybe not.

Hmmmm makes me a little skeptical now... I'm getting an M80 installed in my car tomorrow (my 21st today yay!!) for my birthday and from what was said about the looms it makes me wonder about why we bother "wasting" so much money on keeping our pride and joy away from theives with insurance, immobilisers, alarms etc. I hope these people get what's coming to them and learn to keep their hands to themselves, grow up and just leave someone else's sh!t alone

Sorry to hear mate must be heart breaking, imo car alarms are shit they have given me more trouble than they are worth. The best thing i can say is a red diode for the illusion of an alarm a fuel cut switch and car tracking (was a group buy on here) and the fuel cut has saved my mates car heaps of times (a vl commo) so if they cant find the switch it goes no where and if they do the hidden tracking will find it. Best of luck mate finding your car....

Having a good alarm will just slow down the process of the theft.

Eg) in a busy shopping center where cars still go missing. If there is no alarm, someone can just jump in, hot wire and drive off. With a good alarm, it will take him a lot longer to get it started and by that time hopefully walks past or see's whats happening. Also it might require to take the dash out etc.. so mroe time there

Well thats the theory anyway hahah

That's exactly right, if a crook wants your car, they will get it... by any means.. baseball bat, gun, wrench whatever...

Just an alarm will slow down the process.

and yeah, don't get a mongoose alarm, everyone has them!

I'm just telling everyone this to save their Nissans... too often I see people getting their cars stolen and it hurts...

Was it stolen in the shire? If so where abouts?

So i know not to park there and to warn others..

will deff keep an eye out. I informed ppl on ns.com for ya too

Sorry to hear.. I would be so cut if it were me..

Post your number up just in case someone spots it.. could be driving around right this minute..

I know everyone says this but GL .. I hope your baby turns up in one piece.. or maybe a bit of karma will come their way!

The car was broken into and taken. Not sure if it was driven away or towed away. Either way the car is gone.

depending on where it was parked at the time,,,ask around to see if anyone seen any tilt tray trucks around the area. :)

hope you get it back dude.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
