Awesome work guys!!!!

Im so glad you have finally got your car back, i really hate theives!!

Oh also as mjfawke said it would be best if you at least fit an immobilisor to your vehicle to prevent it from happening again. At my work(Autobarn) you can get immobilisors installed for around $150 for a touch key immob. and about $200 for a transponder type.

Anyways, im so glad you got it back in one piece and nothing was stolen or damaged. :headspin:

No problems Daniel. I got home from the shops and sent you the sms after I got online and found your number. Told my GF and she was going on about how I should be a detective!!!! Able to spot a stolen car like that!!! I told her it wasn't that hard, I'd remembered the number plate!!!

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR LOOKING OUT FOR THE CAR.

I WAS VERY LUCKY THE PLATES ARE EASY TO REMEMBER THOU :wassup:

THINKING OF SELLING UP TO GET SOMETHING ELSE, CANT QUITE AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE DAD HAS (SHY32) BUT WILL DEFINATELY BE TURBO AGAIN.

THAKYOU VERY MUCH PHANTOM, I OWE YOU BIG TIME :P

IMOBILISER WILL DEFINATELY DO THAT IF I KEEP THE CAR. ITS JUST ONE OF THOSE CARS THAT I HATE SPENDING MONEY ON. :(

Glad she was found - good work guys :mad:

My brother had his car stolen during the fires 2?? years ago now. Everything he owned in it. $$ drum kit, $$ kingchrome tools, $$ power tools, snowboard etc. Cops pulled the guy up while he was driving the car but didn't put him away for this - and didn't inform my brother that the car had been found either. Thanks to the radio stations we got the car back!!

(Drum kit was later recovered 3rd hand when a friend discovered the location and tipped the cops off. At least they helped out in the end I guess :S)

I must admit the cops that turned up treated me in the 3rd person context and asked me the same questions over and over again. At first they thought the person that sent me the text was the person that stole the car and I assured them it was not.

Are well have bought a new car this week so the BEAST will be for sale soon.

Oh great now the fuzz think I'm the thieff???!!!!??? Sorry to tell them I was at work when I read about the car being stolen (in Lyneham - not Woden) and as cool as a decent condition little Charade Turbo is, I'm much happier with my 200SX, even if it is off the road waiting to get fixed!!!

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
