its my car thats been stolen.

there was a white vr or vs berlina/ calais out the front that waited around near my house. my mate had that same car out front of his when they tried to take his r32

so if your car gets stolen possibly look out for a white commo

i had shannon's 3rd party thinking they corverd fire and theft.. but no

had an alarm. and my car had no muffler straight drift pipes was so so loud. and yet they managed to take off so so quiet. dident help i needed new sparkplugs so my car was sounding shit so i figured it wasnt my car.

yea when i rang the cops they said wel send out a squad car to my house and i said why the cars not here. i said i was going to leave the house so no one will be home. cops reccomended someone stay home and i said i reccomend someone drive around and find my car.

they said even if they did see it theres not much they could do because like most skylines they have no chance of catching it

looks like another onslaught of import theft, There was a theft of a wrx and a soarer stolen from croydon TAFE last week, supposedly 3 lads rocked up in a black stagea.

Even the 32 track car in my shed behind locked doors, locked gates and 2 Bull mastif X has an alarm :)

Photo of it? I know a few people who drive adelaide at all hours of day ( tow truck drivers)who can keep a look out ?

And i drive that area a fair bit

hope you get in back in one peice not to rub salt in the wounds cause i would string them up by left nut if i caught em

Funny enough I

Heard alarms and dogs barking about the same time this morning and i had a commo vr vs in white stalking my house area for weeks on and off , i had the rego written down somewhere cause i thought the police should visit them if it continued

Did the alarm go off ?

Was it on street or front yard ? Or garaged ? Just curious how they walked off so easy with it

You know sapol will defect it for drift pipes and smoked headlights now ? Here is a saying " just because you can doesnt mean you should" i love the sound and smoked lights but know better

Loud pipes, big sub booming is like a pied piper for crims , i learned the hard way a long time ago

for the same reason not to bass where you park or attract with loud pipes

Full cover insurance !!!!

Before anyone does a lot of mods , buy gps tracking and use it , less then 250 bucks and a bit of phone credit and you can stop crims anywhere in the world that has phone or internet service

You can shut the car down from your phone by a simply sms , it tells you in very detailed info about the speed, location etc of the car so you can shut it down next time it stops or is moving slow

You could cause it to throw on traction control or strobe lights etc , or even video the driver live !!

Im not trying to be a dick to you just tired of car theft in this town/ country its insane for the amount of population here

Best of luck will keep eyes out , chuck up a photo

Not to single you out big fella but never tell anyone your security situation not even Best mates , now crims can prepare to get past your protection with ease

If crims keep getting surpises they tend to move on to easier pickings

A multi layer security is best and even better if they get scared away before anything happens

So you may want to add another layer suprise now just cause its gone global ?

Which unit is that cheap Troy? Most of the ones I know of are quiet a bit more expensive! There's always the possibility of an ultra low powered pc with 3g/gps logging the exact location to google maps.

I've had 2 attempts on my car in that area in the last month but haven't seen the commodore.

Defiantly sounds like its worth reporting this and having a talk to SAPOL.

Yeah gps is a great idea! Where and what type is good? Aparenty the car that got seen leaving was an old magna with silver trim at base

The ebay gps car trackers last time i checked cost 199 free shipping easy to install but you must hide in a secure place not right behind the alarm lol

another option is not a pc , old iphone or sim smart phone ,hard wired and buried in car , plus you can bluetooth the music and video to a lot of radios bonus , on standby it has a battery backup that could last days or even a week depending on the settings

A strobe mounted in the cluster and under the car in tranny tunnel or cradle and nobody will take te car , too hard or get at or your blind seeing dots

Iohone you could facetime the crims to say hello , a iphone 4 you can move the tiny camera to cluster facing crim by extending the wires on the plug , the camera module is as big as your pinky finger nail in size and the camera hole is tiny so it would be hard to notice

You can get the viper / python/ clifford/ autopage and other brands smart phone gps tracking but they charge a fee yearly and the gps module is 350 plus install

You can buy stick on magnetic gps as well , not any bigger then small phone , not perm

But usable still snd under a hundred on ebay

Gps good ones

Has external 3g and sat antenna

Battery backup

Programing features

Trigger for alarms etc

Small but has heatsink chassis

Update from usb or pc at min

Geofence

Speed alert

And it must use a standard sim card for phones on the right freq for your carrier , australia uses a few different freq for carriers ( not compatable with usa equipment ) telstra is a good choice for sim cards fhey have the most towers but of course they cost more prepaid

you could buy a plan of just sms ? If your serious and dont want it to expire when needed most ?

Gps tracking is worldwide steve

And the viper remote is in use here now, autobarn sels it

Watch for legality of viper remote start function not 100% if its adr approved yet

Gps is legal in the freeworld and used everyday

The gps your thinking of is the lojack which is usa only

thats half the benefit, it's not my car :) plus i never give away all of my security secrets ;)

generally it's pretty obvious that the cats are locked and the dogs are there, not really a secret, you can hear the dogs and see the gate, lol

    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
