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.

NO SHIT!?!?!? That's f*%$ed man!!!

geno8r: i like the way you think :P just pissed myself laughin at your rope to balls and outta tree comment... GOLD!!!

bangahh... not trying to profiteer from someone elses miss-fortune but i have a spare front mount at home i am going to sell if you're interested... (just send me a PM if ya are)...

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

wasnt the cooler supported at the top?

if so the front bar would have to come off

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.

thats f%$^ed my skyline is off the road at the moment (incident with my mates tow bar) and the other day i came home and the front bumper was ripped right off the left hand side. good thing i have 2 rottwielers other wise they probly would have got my standard cooler

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

mark

Well makes me want to spray my name on cooler just to make it worth less to potential theifs.

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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
