Hi guys,

My pride and joy was stolen from Glen Waverley sometime today. It's a white R33 GTS-T S2, Rego XKB431. Black FMIC, Canon exhaust and dark gold/brown 18" wheels. Small SAU sticker on the rear window and also on the rear passenger side.

If you see it can you please call the police @ Glen Waverley on 9566 1555.

Thanks for any help.

Absolutely mate, alarm and immobiliser. Parked out in the open @ the train station, hoping someone saw something...... :(

Check station cameras, but yeah, parking any semi-decent car at the station is asking for it unfortunately.

soo many getting stolen.....

there are some ways of stopping stolen cars being driven away with aftermarket ECU's i wont disclose details of such on a public viewed forum.

Unfortunately that wouldn't of helped me, I've been running stock ecu and actuator for a while now but would be interested in the info anyway if you'd pm me?

Dude I need the car to get to and from work. With that mentality, if I decide to drive to work in the CBD and have an accident, then I'd be asking for it to as I'm driving the car in a busy area? Or if I park that car at the shops and it gets stolen am I still asking for it? I need the practicality of a motor vehicle, not to keep in the garage and admire it. Don't mean to come off aggressive mate, I'm just extremely fkd off at the moment. :(

Any real pro won't break in the drive it away anyway... They come and carefully put it on the back of a flatbed, covering it up and take it elsewhere to disable the immobiliser etc.

Have a look on the Stolen Imports Australia page on facebook, the amount that get taken from stations is crazy. A train station is also the easiest to target by thief's because they know the owner won't be around at all between 9-5. Free pickings. And nah I had my VL stolen and even though it was a shit-box I was raging, so I know how you'd feel.

If you haven't yet, I'd recommend posting your car on here: https://www.facebook.com/stolenimportsaustralia?ref=br_tf

I have tilt sensors installed, alarm will go off if it's lifted at all.

Even when I let down a tyre while the alarm is on it will go off, so that would help, also causing the immobiliser to kick in.

So even if it's being taken by a flatbed, it's not going to be quiet at all.

But sadly doesn't seem like there is much when they use flatbeds :/

Disabling the car is easy but completely stopping theft - dunno

Some have invested in Alarm/Immobiliser + wheel clamp/s + buddy clubs + GPS tracking + hidden kill switch etc... which is good to deter most all. ( but the serious professionals !)

Alarm/Immobiliser go off with motion so I'm not certain how they get away with flat bed trucks ?

you could have your vehicle micro dotted as well

IED may be over the top but if you could still insure your vehicle ......... :w00t:

They would only try the once !

Even a single shotgun shell in the horn button comes to my mind. Would hate to forget to disable the sprung pin tho :huh:

Fark, that's really sad and depressing to see the amount of imports that get stolen. What can you possibly do to keep your car safe when as Odium said they put it on a flatbed and take it away?

Alarm, and immobiliser (properly installed) will stop most street scum from taking the car. As far as flat beds go, I often leave the steering wheel turned one revolution left or right, so if they want to tow it, they'll have to smash a window first anyway to get it up there (which will do the alarm).

Yep, mine pretty much can't be stolen from work... it's in sight of a dozen people all the time... so if its getting flatbedded, I'm going to be told about it before they've jumped out of the cabin...

Also at home it parks outside, but on the lawn without direct flatbed access... and with the wheel turned (so I can get it up onto the lawn), and i live in a street without through traffic so less chance of it being spotted as a target, plus I've got a nosey neighbour who lives across the road and is always in her front yard feeding birds, washing gorillas, painting penguins, polishing windows and all sorts of other weird shit.

Hey Simon why don't you tell me a little bit more about what I should look out for when I go to steal your car.

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
