758-GQZ were the plates , there are pics of the car on the first page..

if i personally find him , i will stab him in the throat , no actually i dont want blood on the car , i dont care about him knowing where i live , I will not let this fiend get away with it..

Thanks again

Maty

Like others have said, dont chase him... you could encourage himto do something stupid and hit anyone or anything endangering other people....i dont care about him but its other people that worry me... :(

Follow from distance... and try and get an idea of where he continues to go and you can wait for him and hopefully get the cops to intercept him....

Cops wont think your a hero if they catch you in a high speed persuit with him so watch out.... :(

Same thing happened to a friend of mine. Seriously fellars, there is no reason why he should know that you are following him. I mean if he were driving on the street, there would be all sorts of normal cars on the road. like lancers, falcadores, magnas.... if it was a skyline following, i'd understand.

Everytime anyone chases him, and he gets away, the chances get worse. He will get more intimidated, and be more scared to drive it out. I believe that you have a decent chance to get the car back.

If anyone sees it, stay a few cars back. Just watch where it goes. Wait till he stops, then do whatever you have to.

With my friend's car, it just so happened that he was followed into a shopping centre carpark. they waited until he went in to buy somehting. While they called people to come quick. When he got back, they had about 5 people on to him.

The important thing, is to stay back, don't let him know u r following, and don't let him get away again.

sorry if this post was long, but it just ****s me off so bad when some dickhead shit****s do things like this, because we look after our cars so bad, and then to think that it could just be gone tomorrow.

ALARMS

About alarms, i've got an autowatch immobilised alarm. The siren is backup battery, but the alarm itself isn't. If I pull the battery, the siren will go off until it runs outta battery, then it'll stop. If I plug the batt back in,it will not start until I disarm the alarm.

Is this good? If it is, you can pick one up for around $170 and aorund 150$ install.

But the thing i'm thinking, is I put it in myself. what use is an alarm, if anyone with a bitta car knowledge can just pull the alarm off from the ignition wiring, and just connect them. Almost all alarm people just put the alarm under the plastic far behind the steering wheel

any advice?

hope u get the car back mate. I'm in sydney, if i was in brissy, i'd be driving around helping you to find.

stickied for ya Maty...

good luck in finding it, I can't believe this fckhead is driving it around??? obviously not a prof thief, more like a joy rider pushing his luck!

Shell,

Dont forget when URMINE was stolen the guys drove it around for a while and were spotted numerous times. Paul had a for sale sticker on it and actually had calls from people aobut it after it was stolen.

Best of luck in finding this car. As has been said, chasing it will do nothing other than scare the theif further and potentially place others in danger. Follow it at a safe distance, ring the police and everyone you know and play it cool.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
