thank God it wasnt stolen cos my insurence was overdue for over a month!!!

i did here a skyline take off in the middle of the night. dam..... i shouldnt have left it parked on the road.

:werd:

i'll be forking out for Mobile paging and immobilisation now.

24-7 monitoring... while it may cost me... i dont trust anyone at the moment.

Car thiefs are running riot lately and local authorities are doing nothing to stop the crooks that are getting more and organised and little is being done apart from park your car in safe places.

but tell me, if my own driveway is not safe, where is?

Hope all goes well harun!

Im Yo security Bitch, Paging, Tracking you name it!!

what happens if you get car jacked or something of that sort....

i dont think there is a security system that can stop a thief stealing a car there just simple deterrents. If they really want ya car there gonna take it!

Actually Brant Nemesis has an anti-hijack feature. It's a great alarm, comes standard on WRXs, but is a bit of a pain in the butt in its operation...

Car was spotted heading towards Wynum exit on the Gate-Way. My police friends are trying to get the tapes for me.

(by the way this is in SE-QLD - brisbane)

At least you know they are driving it (100x better chance for recovery), not good for the car if they are thrashing it though :)

man, my mate at work had his 180 broken into at hawthorn and they did EXACTLY THE SAME SHIT TO HIS CAR AS YOURS

broke the drivers window

took stereo, blow off, air filter, steering wheel (was after market), as well as other bits and pieces that werent worth shit;

bah, makes me angry

I GOT MY CAR BACK

Picked it up not long ago

police did 2 raids arrested 4 people searching for 4th.

The car has not been touched in any form and only travelled a mere 30kms. Thank god for smart boost controllers as the idiots tried to boost but couldnt boost it more then .6 bar.

Thank you to all who helped out.

BTW the car was found at North St kingston, and a guy by the name of Narcis Pop was charged several times in regards to the theft of my car.

Also in regards to Famous, they had refused to pay me out because i had willingly given my car keys to some one else. The car was not stolen from home.

will answer any questions.

thank you all

You're very lucky mate.

I know of a guy over here in the UK who spent about 2 years doing up a Rover 220 GTI. The car standard isn't all that nice, but he put a lot of work into it and it looked great. Then some joy-riders stole it, dumped it and burned it. No respect whatsoever.

Mate, that's great news. I had my WRX stolen 2 years ago and it's never been seen since. I can honestly say it was the best example of a 2 year old WRX that I've ever seen. I bought it brand new and looked after it like it was my child.

Until you've had a car stolen, you'll never know what it feels like.

How did this "willingly" hand over the keys occur?

Hmm.. so you didn't willingly hand them directly to the thief then? Sounds like a typical insurance company trying to weasel their way out of paying.

Believe it or not, I'm still in dispute with my insurance company over items that were in the car at the time, viz. my camera equipment. It was valued at a little over $3,000, but they decided that they only wanted to pay me $1250 for it. You can understand why I've not accepted their offer.

I await hearing what argument the insurer put to you for not covering the theft (when you can give us a run down)

Who would you willing hand your keys?

Take a guess. Maybe you've done it before.

It's incredibly lucky to get the car back intact.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
