This morning @ 3.33am I interupted the theft of Chris' car. I suspect his alarm didn't go off because of a faulty battery which we will have investigated today (or perhaps they knew their way around that as well). In hindsight, I should have let them take the damn car and let the tracking device do its thing and catch them red handed. But at the time, all I thought about was scaring them off.

Chris' car is normally in the garage, the only reason it wasn't is because we're working on my race car in there atm :P

There were at least three of them, pulled hoods over their heads when they realised I was on to them. Very bold, getaway vehicle all ready to go. Smashed rear quarter and I don't know what else yet, but they had the car halfway down the road.

Off to buy some movement activated night cameras now :P

Salt made of lead more likely

I'm NOT a violent person, but if I ever caught a thief having a go at mine, I'm pretty sure I would end up in gaol for a longer time (for the assault) than what THEY would have for actually stealing the car.

Mark was coming up the rear and passed me before I got down the steps - they looked scrawny to me... not enough muscle to physically work for their assets, they'd rather take someone elses hard earnt possessions. :P

When Michele woke me at 3:30 this morning it didnt really sink in...but it has now!!!

I'm soooooooooo pissed off :P (sorry Shell if I cant say that!)...

lucky I took the window breakage option on my insurance - letting me replace one free of charge each year!!! - my insurance just paid for itself this year!!! (gotta be positive, gotta be positive!!)

Good to see the SAU community is alive and kicking....... :D

Shell, I wanted to say the C word, but I dont like that one - ask Michele !!! :)

The 34 is not meant to be able to be taken out of park until accessories are on - but obviously it can if you force it hard enough!!!

Yeah Titan - it does have the passenger release....

The battery issue on the alarm is all fixed now :wave:

and Shell, the steadeddie mobile lives another day!!! :laugh:

James - I dont think you'd appreciate a 3:30am call but thanks so much for the offer :blink:

I'll guarantee that James wouldn't care less about getting a call at 3:30am, especially if it were to help a friend in need with the bonus of catching a b@stard.

Thanks everyone and keep an eye out, they were pretty bold. Alarms are all set and ready to face another day, although I suspect the scariest part for the thieving, low life, scum bucket, cesspit dwelling b@stards was seeing Mark running down the steps in his undies hahahaha

onya for scareing the crap out of the 'scum'. it's all a big joke to car thieves; I went to court to see how the judicial system handled the shithead that stole my GTR [it has never been recovered]. he couldn't have cared less; paid no attention to the prosecutor, or the judge for that matter. this thief had stolen three cars within a week, it's what he does for a living!!. the cops told me he will be stealing cars the minute he gets out of 'clink'. what irritated me was that neither the judge nor the baliff steped in to control the thief and his girlfriend started calling out how much they loved each other during court proceedings. Ridicuclous!!!.

Oh that sucks ass :laugh:

I'm no lady. If someone touched my car... Actually when someone broke into my car outside of Russell last year I said the C word. Lots of times and that's without them actually damaging it. Pray for the soul of the person that ever damages it if I catch them!!

I just hate how people are so shit and have no respect for other people's property. There's so many reports of this type of thing happening in Canberra at the moment.

    • The SS button head cap screw on the back? If so, good to know. I presumed it was there for basic assembly and nothing more. 
    • Hello, everyone. I'm new to the forum. I have a 1989 Nissan Skyline R32 GTR. I have lost all power to the interior, including AC controls, the gauge cluster, turn signals, and windows. Stuff that still works includes the horn, brake lights, radio, and headlights. All fuses, in the interior and exterior boxes, tested good.  It starts and runs fine, just with no gauge power or anything stated above. No warning lights either. Things that I have tested: - Fusable link tested fine - No other fuses blown - Alternator good - IGN switch tested fine - With my power probe, I can backfeed power through the IGN pin to the plug on the back of the gauge cluster, and everything comes back on.    So my theory is something on the control side that sends the ignition power through the system isn't doing its job, or a wire is broken. (I would think that it is the ignition switch that would do that, but who knows?). The ignition relays don't fire (all relays tested good). So what tells them to fire other than the IGN switch?  I would really appreciate it if someone had some insight on this. I have tons of hours into this; I don't want to give up in defeat! I have the HD wiring diagram, but having all those wires laid out like that on one sheet of paper makes things pretty hard to follow.  Thanks for reading, and thanks for the replies.  Where should I look next? Thanks.
    • Install a MAP sensor pre and post throttle. Best data you could have for NA, then play with the bends and/or air box and see how much of inflection is created at WOT on the plot.
    • And gone to a new home  
    • The car remains in paint jail. I am now pretty convinced that the whole "RB25 Airboxes are kinda limiting to ~300kw" could be a thing. Also saw a good video from Engine Masters: (Sorry for FB link) (https://www.facebook.com/watch/?ref=search&v=761771519471924&external_log_id=c10bcbb6-2c39-4ff3-9240-287e9921fde6&q=Cold Air Considerations) Where they tested Pod Filter sizes and kept adding bends to a LS3 on an Engine Dyno to find if bends caused power loss. It's a good video worth watching - They did lose ~25hp from making an intake which had 3x90's and a 120 degree. They only lost maybe 1hp with a basic 90. I feel that by sealing up my airbox I have: 1) Created the same restriction a stock airbox would have. 2) Created a very convoluted set of intake 'pipes' by forcing all the air through the ducts. So I am pretty confident I'll be going full circle and have a huge hot air intake pod and actually see a benefit. The air does *not* stay hot once it gets flowing, aided by the ducts, and the pod can then pull air from anywhere. All the posts of yore talk about the stock airbox costing 10-15kw at 300kw+ but you know what? I f**king would very much like that 10-15kw and I remember my own pod filter in engine bay experiences. Turns out the GTT Reo and Headlight brackets really don't allow you to mount GTR items, no matter what the internet says. Various brackets have had to be made up to actually make it fit right for the front bar. Also some idiot mounted a 3L Accusump right where the bumper wants to go, so that has had to be 'relocated' To where, I am still not sure, but it's supposedly mounted in the pictures and I can't see it.
