Wow, sorry :(

Thanks, it's so hard seeing your car disappear from you one night in mint condition .. then 5 days later end up with pictures like this :(

..and to think i used to worry about parking the car and getting the doors dinged by randoms... laugh.gif

Im Sorry to hear about ya ride ...

With the amount of Imports that have been stolen lately, maybe someone should make a "SA Stolen Car Thread".

Friggn Thieves Piss Me Off.

Its ridiculous how many imports have been stolen and tortured in the last couple of months. f**king crazy. Now i wonder if the cops are really doing their jobs. Stop f**king defecting cars and catch these f**kers arrrrgh

I agree with Mad-az.

So true, insult to injury.

But tbh there has to be a small niche targeting Imports - anything that helps to either catch or detour may help.

At the end of the day if they want it they will get it. But god-damn im sure it would throw a spotlight either way on what IS happening.

The fuel pump relay is a nice idea in theory, but in reality, any car thief worth his salt knows that trick and will likely carry a couple assorted relays with him.

Same with re-setting the 'park wire' in an auto, if they're capable of defeating an alarm and hot wiring a car, they're capable of sorting that out.

An extra physical deterrent will work better, a big f**k off club lock, a detachable boss kit with a locking hub, shit like that. While both of those can be defeated (a club lock very easily with the right tools), it adds a lot of extra time and difficulty. On top of that there's the fun things like piezo electric sirens in the cabin belting out enough noise to rival a jet on take off... And while that too may be defeated, at the very least it'll f**k up their hearing pretty good, and pretty damn quickly.

^^ out of curiousity about those sirens

would you be in any trouble if someone were to get hurt from that while breaking into your car?

as in, in the same way you can be blamed for someone breaking into your propery then hurting themselves on something

would suck if that were possibile, the wankers would totally deserve it

Surely a good car theif would wear ear plugs during the time the alarm is likely to go off too :/

Nah, cause they have the option of running away. If they don't, they're putting themselves in harms way.

-D

You'd be surprised.

The pitch and the noise will do a pretty good job of overpowering off the shelf ear plugs anyway.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
