sorry to hear about your unfortunate circumstances, best of luck for a speedy recovery.

id be trying to move on from here. it is, after all, only "a car" and you probably wouldnt want it back anyways considering god knows what its been through by now....bug your insurance company for the pay out and look forward to a new car!

just back to a point made earlier about car batteries and car alarms, does a car alarm usually go off or attempt to immobilise itself if the battery is disconnected? i know with quicktrak alarms when the battery is disconnected HQ is notified and the car alarm goes off/immobilises itself?

in any case Quicktrak is being sold off......does anyone know if CarCom by NRMA still going?

Decent Alarms have a 'backup battery' feature, means they have thier own battery if they are disconnected from the battery and go of instantly... alarm is worthless without one...

If they disconnect the battery, then they can't start it anyway?

in any case Quicktrak is being sold off......does anyone know if CarCom by NRMA still going?

While i was reading through that post i was gonna say quicktrak is finished.....im un-installing soon, and putting a new system in my mate was telling me about, apparently if the person that has made their way into the car tries to start it, it will ask whoes car is it, and who wishes to drive it....the alarm system then calls the owner (me) and notifies and allows you to make the call or set alarm off.

something like dat anyway......if anyone knows anything more about the system please let me know

Not when I had a flat battery.

I rolled down a hill doing 60km/h.. Popped the clutch out in 3rd gear.. Nothing.. :rofl:

Back up to 60km/h.. second nothing.. :rofl:

That day sucked... It took 2hrs to get home what normally is a 15minute drive.

I think it was the immobiliser immobilising. :)

I hope you get it back man. and post up the parts list and if I see any parts, maybe if they had distinguishing marks?

I was in broadbeach in April, I think I saw the car during the week on the main street of surfers. sorry for the loss.

I think it should be fair to catch the guys, and kill them. then if the cops have a problem just say you should have caught them first. but we can all dream...

My brother spotted it again last night , he crossed the traffic island and gave chase in a honda CRV , he lost him in the back streets , but went to the broadwater carpark 20 mins later and asked around , the car had just been there..

this guy is dumb as shit , i have a feeling we will get it back , but unsure of what condition the car will be in , if he is prepared to get chased and do over 200klmh i have a feeling he will end his own life in the car.. I know what it is capable of...

We have been in constant contact with the police the whole time , but they can only do so much , ..

Another thing is what to do , chase him and then what , watch him crash the car? This dick will be sorry when hes caught..

ALL GOLD COASTERS keep your eyes peeled , i have a reward if you spot it and call 55316682 or 0410700017..

Thanks for your support guys , i want everyone to evaluate thier cars security systems , like a routine check up.. and see if there is nothing else you can do to stop thieves..

i will not put a detail parts list yet as my first thoughts were that the car is in bits..

Thanks again.. i will keep you posted..

The person(s) who've stolen your car are obviously stupid enough to leave the plates on. I hope you find your car i one peice as nobody deserves this to happen to them no matter waht car they drive.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
