My cousin got his intercooler stolen in broad daylight.

it was a hybrid 600x300x75, the only thing that was hold the intercooler up was the support bracket at the bottom and the inlet/outlet hoses.

ie 4 bolts..

they also took his BOV, 2 bolts

bleed valve and pod filter..............

Not happy chappy, cant go fishing this weekend

must be pros cause its hard to pop the bonnet with a screwdriver.

When you think about it nobody would give them a second glance.

If I saw a couple guys with the bonnet up on an import with tools I would just think they were fixing something.

But they would still have the risk of the owner returning. Where was the car parked and where was your cousin?

Is it possible they knew he wasnt going to be coming back for a while? i.e at work?

he's from QLD, but just on a 3 month transfer to NSW. The took it while he was at work.

he parked it somewhere in parramatta, but i guess they sussed him out cause he had parked there for over two months now with no problems.

wasnt the cooler supported at the top?

if so the front bar would have to come off

Ehhh who cares bout that. Some f#ck has taken it now. C#%s who steal need to have their balls tied up to a short rope & pushed out of a tree. Although its pretty unlikely i hope some1 seen them & you can get a description out of anyone to report to police.

The police really need to set up Stings & why not start with Parramatta. I'd love to be a cop just for one day in a Sting waiting for some f#%@ to try & steal stuff from a planted hot car.    I'd have no problems using excessive force.

do you think excessive force would be catching the mother ****er and letting him go a round with my little baby pitty, or would that be going a litttle overboard

hey, most of the time if the cooler is supported from the top you dont have to remove the front bar, you can easily access the bolt and slip the cooler out the bottom of the bar (usually the bars are trimmed so easy to slip it out)

Cooler support at the top is just another two bolts. Well makes me want to spray my name on cooler just to make it worth less to potential theifs.

well they did take his BOV, POD, Bleed valve from the engine bay.

It sets him back $1000 and he's still paying it off like most of us do and a day looking around Syndney for parts.

well anyways he went and got all the parts today as it happened yesterday.

ohhh yeah, someone also stole his digital camera from this Pram while shopping in Liverpool Westfields also with his kids.

so he's got a string of bad luck at the moment.....

Lol, why not, what ever works :)

I'd love Australia to have a law like they have over in Egypt.

The Government says: "You steal; we cut off your finger. We catching you steeling again; we cut off your hand"

You raise the punishment enough I guarantee you'll get any message through.

What is this world coming to. :D

Indeed

I've just grabbed the latest Autosalon magazine & there’s great story, a near ‘possible’ death experience of criminals trying to steal this guys highly modified GTR. Its a top read, had my heart pumping *seeing it was actually real & not a movie* The event itself of course wasn’t great but the story was very well told.

F%@$%&%@#$

can we start a petition about that man, sounds good. I didn't think middle eastern countries had much going for them in that respect, but hey I like that law man.

Although it should go something to the tune of punishments in the order of offences

first time, prison instantly, no good behavior shite here

Second time, Beating from the person you stole from

Third time, Appendiges being cut off

That's not a bad idea actually. Maybe not on the front, but on the back, so it's easily identified. Perhaps ingrave your end tanks with you name and address? Perhaps everyone can put SAU and their username on their cooler so that if anyone hears or sees anything, they can let that person know.

Did the car have an alarm? I can't imagine parking my Skyline in a dodgy area if it didn't have an alarm.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
