Sh[t go mate.. worst feeling when your walking upto where its supposed to be and its gone.. I walked out this morning and my lancer gsr daily was gone(hurstville area) walked up and down my street about 10 times to make sure I hadnt gone insane.. ent up walking to the station whilst calling to report it..only had third party on it as well so im completely out of pocket.. did you have an alarm system or anything on it? I'm trying to figure out what alarm/GPS system to spend 1-1.5k on when my evo from Japan gets here.. I'm interested in this CCTV footage as I live close to a whole street of shops which I think would have cameras.. might have to inquire about it any way to go about it? just call up quote my number and ask?

What else gets to me that it must be one or two/handful of large rings operating here in Sydney so at the least if the police could look at some CCTV around the area and surrounding times in different spots to when it got stolen they may be able to identify a lead and follow it up and smash some of these send a clear message out because lately cars are getting taken left right and centre and thieves are having a field day and its us,the motoring enthusiasts who are out of pocket because of it..

Local shops might be a bit more lenient in giving out cctv footage... macathur square where I parked my car is quite large... security there said only the cops can request footage its all very frustrating! I don't mind going through 10 hours of footage !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Care to elaborate bakemono? pm me if you like/pm me a link to more info about alarms etc

How far away are you from Blacktown?

Maybe give Carbon Car Systems a call and have a chat to Daniel - absolutely knows his shit. Tell him the boys from SAU sent you :P

How the alarm is "wired-in" is what matters most..

some installers do all messy and don't tuck the wires in nicely, easy to trace back and bypass the immobiliser points.

I remember when my car was taken, found it an hour later after quite a joy ride and a resident thinking I was being a dumb hoon calling the cops as i was reporting it, blown tyres and ground down rims basically ended up sitting on its subframe beached in the middle of a street in Glen Alpine, which is you guessed it right near campbeltown. To go from penrith to campbeltown in 20 mins and do that dmg is quite a feat.. Alas im the only person that wishes it didnt come back id be in a GTR now haha

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
