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 :)

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!

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
