Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

Just letting everyone know my Skyline was attempted stolen at Westfield North Lakes carpark today around 1pm. Witnesses have come forward and forensics are coming for prints (there are nice ones on the window where they got in)

Now to find a whole new ignition barrel and basically a whole steering assembly as they snapped all plastic and controls.

Hope they get whats coming to them!!!

Also a shout out to William from North Lakes & Districts Towing private tow operator, this guy is a champion call out in 10 minutes and flat rate $88/hr, I recommend this guy for anyone who needs a tow Northside Brisbane.

Here are his details: http://www.truelocal.com.au/business/north-lakes-and-districts-towing/north-lakes

Yes alarm system and immobiliser system, saved it cos they couldn't start it, funny thing is they didnt steal the $1000 sound system, GPS, dash cam, prestige personalised plates or any tools that were in the car

Since you are near me pop past. I can sort the column and rekeying the car will be easy as well. Done plenty.

May pay to see if I can steal it as well.

^this right here, if he can make it run/ steal it anyone who knows what they're doing can, lucky break though in the fact they a) didn't get to steal the car and b) didn't pinch anything. Really makes me rethink ownership of a fabulous car all because a few c**ts who obviously can't afford their own want to steal them.

if they tried a basic hot wire would it be possible for me to disable (with remote) the alarm/immobiliser and touch the wires together and it start? unless they have stuffed my immobiliser in the process as my car chirps and central locking is active still?

Ok I am going to do something I usually do not do..

To take one of these cars for a ride you need to get past the column lock. Hammer or a crowbar is fine for that.

Then you need to get power on . Screwdriver works there once you destroy the key lock you twist to switch and you have a car .

Now if someone has done the job properly the the alarm and paging unit has triggered and the owner is on the way out with a baseball bat. If not the then the alarm wiring gets ripped out and the siren smashed. Then the car is gone.

All of this takes about 3-4 minutes max to do..

Have your attention yet?

I highly recommend you swing past Chris. I attended one of his security nights and it is amazing how fast someone who knows what they are doing can have them started even with a 'professionally' installed alarm/immobiliser.

Depends how the job was done. If it was me, nope. No amount of button pressing would stop the car.

That's no good at all.

By any chance are you a staff member that parks basically in the same spot down the woollies end out the front????

Might be a random question, but whenever I come over to the shop to do groceries etc probably 3 times a week I too always park at that end and there is always the same white 33 in the same spot. Sad to think but if it is you maybe they have been thinking about it for a while.

I got rego make and model of the offenders vehicle, am I allowed to post it on here?

Forensics have come around today and got all the prints and will be running checks. Now I can explore it seems no wires have been cut/stripped, just the ignition barrel and plastics. Maybe the alarm spooked them or they had no real idea what they were doing??? There is so many wires behind steering column its not funny. Westfield is going over footage to get images of car and trace back to people inside. If they have entered the shopping centre they will be on camera.

Depends on what R33 you mean PHT34 - there are a few regulars, i park Woolies area always but not always same spot, prob was me you are thinking of as i havent seen the other regulars for months (maybe theirs have been stolen)

    • And yes would be going to tomei Japan for sure as it’s closer to me … 
    • Yeah I heard the same. Might be hard to order one. But then I guess can go to hks or go to a more expensive n1 block with tomei. Guess will jump the hurdle once I get there next upgrade around. I can’t get work done in the states as the lead time will take for ever on top of shipping to Hong Kong. 
    • https://www.platinumracingproducts.com/en-us/products/nissan-rb26-cast-blocks This is the solution I was thinking of. I would stay away from Tomei USA, their quality is a question mark to me. If you want an engine machined in the US contact Club DSPORT: https://clubdsport.com/ Tomei JP is probably fine but I recall they stopped doing pre-assembled short or long blocks. In general it's pretty tough to get any kind of RB26 block at the moment with Nissan so severely backordered.
    • PAR specifically offers stock ratios in their gearset and you could do whatever ratios are physically possible supposedly for no extra cost. I agree 6 ratios is better than 5, the factory 2nd gear is equivalent to the Getrag 2nd gear if you account for the differing final drive ratio though. The Getrag 3rd gear with a 3.916 final drive is equivalent to a 1.6 2nd gear in the FS5R30A. I'm about to swap the transmission out on my car, I'm tempted to send the one I have now out for rebuild with the standard "cross ratio" gearsets out there to see if it really makes such a big difference the next time I pull the transmission.
    • This is what I was looking at next:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/engines/tomei/tomei-rb26-28l-short-block-assemblies-p-45479.html as we can’t bore the cylinders out in hk so better just buy the whole lot in one and install then retune. Everyone saying the weak link are the bolts holding the rods together. I already did valve springs, arp head bolts, hks racing coils, nismo fuel pumps and pressure regulators, injectors etc for the top of the engine.
