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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
