This happened last friday afternoon, my friend's black S15 was stolen from UNSW biomed carpark complex...

It has carbon fibre bonnet, the large factory optional rear spoiler, some matt black multispoke JDM 17' wheels with red time attack style rims, pretty loud Trust PE Ti exhaust, clear/chrome aftermarket taillights. no side skirts

inside it has pivot shift indicator, chrome momo gearknob and pivot gear display behind the steering wheel on top of the steering column... (yes plenty of bling)

rear bumper had a bit of parking damage on the driver's side

it had some flashing white LED rear number plate light (dying LED)

number plate is gold on black, 888LCK or LCK888 (don't quite remember... its a pretty asian plate though)

I think his car has been targeted for a while, a week before his car got stolen, someone even wrote a note and stuck it on the windscreen, and wrote something along the line of "i like your car with the pivot gear selector... etc"

so be careful for anyone here who goes to UNSW, and if anyone comes across this car please let the police know.

the car is insured but would still prefer to recover it since the owner put a lot of work into it.

and yes it does have a mongoose alarm, with 3-point immobiliser.

wow i thought having a aftermarket immobaliser like a mongoose would make it unstealable !

Not really if they want it they will take it! Best bet is a switch to cut all power to the fuel pump hidden somewhere around your car :thumbsup: and wheel clamps!

Will keep an eye out west for it

I thought parking on uni grounds would be safe? :P

Got me worried about going uni now lol. Got around 2 months before I would have to go back though..

Will keep an eye out for you, noted number plate down on a post-it in my car :)

yeh both macq and unsw are pretty bad for parking.

none of the cameras anywhere around the uni saw anything?

By Biomed carpark do you mean the botany street multi storey? think i've seen this car in there a few times, looks great.

they make it stupidly easy though to steal a car from there if, obviously, there are no CCTV cameras in that whole carpark?? The lighting in there at times can be shocking at certain times of the day. Can't believe someone would have the nerve to steal a car from there though..

Post-it'ed in my car. If I see anything in the western sydney(parra, ryde, merrylands, granville)area, will post here.

Guys, do what my uncle does. Pop your bonnet and remove a few engine relays. Its not probable that the thief will pop your bonnet and check your relays, and without them the car will not start.

Or if you're handy with a soldering iron, wire in a breaker wire and a switch. Or use a magnet responsive switch concealed under the dash and use a swipe magnet to activate a relay and close the circuit. Sooo many things you can do. You could even wire up your own keypad!

none of which will stop thieves from just dragging it onto the back of a tow truck :)

Yes my mate does go to the RPAH quite often caus he does quite a lot of research work in their lab..

The botany st multi storey is where it got stolen from, I remember reading a post a few years back on Sau where someone's car was stolen there before as well.

To date there's still no news or any progress with the police investigation, so our guess is that it's quite likely the car is now stripped for parts already..

Lucky the car is fully insured, but not the time and sweat we've put in to building it

i must admit it is quite a flashy car with quite a few obvious blings, I guess thats why it caught the thieves attention

with pretty much no hope of getting the car back, ill list a few parts here and hopefully these things will help us tracking the thieves down, as some parts are quite rare.

It has the following:

ARC fmic

pivot shift indicator

pivot turbo timer

Matt black multispoke work wheels with red timeattack rim, ku36 tyres

trust titanium power extreme catback

trust dump

carbon fibre bonnet

bilstein b9 shocks with blue bilstein springs

tein caster rod

cusco front and rear sway bars

short shifter

thanks everyone!

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
