Hi all,

My home in sylvania was broken into on wednesday morning. Luckily the thieves were interrupted, but not before they did a runner with a ps3, some phones and a set of car keys.

They were chased out of the place and we got a clear look at the get away car and plates (blue 3 series bmw with dark tint and big rims rego JQR **1 possibly JQR *01) but it later turned out this car was stolen a week ago.

Good news is that the keys were laser coded merc keys and they were updated the following morning, the bad news is i had to replace all the locks buy a new ps3 and have to start the games all over again :laugh:

The po-po believe they are from "gangs" operating in sydney's south west who will go out and target areas all around sydney.

general opinion is that they were looking for a replacement car and thought they hit the jackpot when they saw 2 skylines and a nice merc out the front (please note i'm not bragging... the merc aint mine). They break in specifically when people are home so they can grab the keys, wallets and any other valuables left lying around. They got in by lifting a slider door off its latch, so if anyone else has a sliding for without a bolt, sort this out with a bolt deep into the floor or ceiling as its a sinch to get in even if its "locked".

So just a gentle reminder all, dont leave your keys, wallets and valuables lying around, even in your own home, take them with you when you go to bed and save yourself what could be a very big headache.

If anyone has spotted a car fitting the description above over the past week or so, let me know.

Bad luck mate... Sounds to much like London!

Sad thing is if you beat the thief near death because you catch him robbing your house, your most likely to go prison for it..

Don't you love the justice system sometimes...

I'm glad to be living in Perth.

And this is exactly why I'm very thankful to not be living in the South West. Sucks to hear man... :laugh:

Cheers mate, one thing to note is that i dont live in the south west, i'm right on the coast, these guys roam FROM the SW to all sorts of places looking for places to knock over.

I know somone who did exactly that and got 3 months for it, plus good behaviour and it meant he lost his job and could not get a similar one because he now had a criminal record. Just for protecting his property and family. "The System" would prefer you let a thief do what they like and then "The System" will bring them to justice.....maybe.

How is beating someone near death for trying to steal some inanimate posessions justifiable? It isn't. That's why you go to jail for it, and rightly so.

If someone is threatening my family, then I will protect them however I can. If they're trying to steal my car / stereo / playstation - so what? I'd rather claim in on insurance and live to buy another one. Yes it's annoying (I've been robbed in the middle of the night) and you want to harm those involved, but that's no justification for taking the law (and somebody's life) into your own hands.

Some of you guys need to take a long hard look at the priorities in your life.

so if someone breaks into my house i just stand there and let them finish? to make it faster i may as well give them a hand and tell them them where all my expensive items are just so they can get out of my house faster lol. if someone breaks in, of course you will try and defend your home at all costs.

+1 thats why you should have insurance :)

you are taking it the wrong way, if the robber see that you have found them most of the time they would run with what they have.

If you start to chase them with a knife or baseball bat you never know if they have a gun/knife or mates around the corner, its not worth going after them.

Get them to leave and keep them away from your family plus call the police.

First thing i would do if i saw them is yell out "I have called the police" and make sure family is ok and still in the house then call the police.

If a criminal enters your home they are blatantly violating your rights and you don't know if they're petty thieves or completely mental. IMO as soon as they enter someone elses home illegally they should forfeit all of their rights. No option to sue for anything, no penalties for owners giving them a beating and maybe some of the deadsh!ts would learn a lesson or think twice before acting again.

i agree with that part, i wouldnt start chasing them with a knife or anything like that.

Trained Dogs FTW. not some idiot that takes food from anyone.

Cattle dogs, pitties, germans, dobermann, these are the tools you need to rip a thief a new one boys. dog woulda ripped the Kunt before you got outta bed.

"aww fcuk I broke into oldmates house and his dog took my balls your honour"

Good times for all.....

Wow so the get away car was my mates that was stolen from kellyville area, they broke in stole couple of dollars out his wallet a 6 pack of beer out the fridge and the keys and drove off in it!!! Far out hey!!! U heard anything about them getting caught yet??

there are a few ways i can think of to make someone who breaks into your house who you've beat to shit have no leg to stand on in court (i made a pun).

you simply call self defense. the knife/crowbar/baseball bat/screw driver/spoon that is now embed in his scull used to be in the thief's hands, you acted on impulse and the burst of adrenaline caused you to do ninja styles, grab the weapon and plant him one in the face.

if your defense is something like 'i caught him and started laying into him' then you're screwed. whereas if its something like 'he came at me with a knife/crowbar/baseball bat/screw driver/spoon and while defending myself it ended up in his face' then you're pretty much sweet if you can STICK TO YOUR STORY.

its your word against his and at the end of the day he is just a thief.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
