what area was the car left at?????

can i ask what sort of 2point immobiliser was it???

eg. ignition???

and do you have an idea how long it took them?

sorry 4 all the q's

the car was left at the parking spot of Food for less on the boulevard in fairfield west... yea i think it was ignition & breakin, but no good at all!

yea they r coloured ones....everything is wrecked..the wires the ignition!

1st mistake!!

when u get a new alarm make sure all the wiring are black!

mine are. and get a 3+ point immobiliser i also use a pager and theres room for more outputs that i use.

awesome news man....congrats it could have been much MUCH worse!

the people who did my car alarm (who I shall not name!!!) assured me that there were installing with only black wires and Iasked this several times. But when I checked myself...BAM COLOURS!....all sorted now..but double check ay!

thanks guys! can u suggest me some very good security systems for cars and also wher to get em if youz kno plzzzz... cheers

Congrats on getting it back dude, I hope you get all the problems fixed up and that it's alright mechanically!

Definitely invest in a good alarm, and like others have said, go for all black wiring. I would also be very very weary about where you park and also who you tell about the car.

All the best! Ciao.

hi mate,

i have a strong feeling, that the dealer you brought your car off, had another key, and then they used it to move the car outta the car park, and then they broke the ignition barrel to make it look like a theft. maybe post a pic up of the rims they put on, and keep an eye out for parts that were taken. make sure that you do not name the brand of the alarm on here becasue we are not the only ones who look at this forum.

I think all those immobilizers and alarm are all bullshits!

My friend's integra got broken into in Macquarie Shopping Centre few weeks ago..

They took almost everything inside and sprayed the whole interior with water.

Guess how they got inside? None of the windows are broken and there is no traces of how they break in..all we saw was just a small scratch at the bottom of the driver's door handle..I guess thats how they got into the car by inserting something thin like a rod through it. They broke the alarm siren and took off the battery.

I think the best way to do is to take out our door panel and seal a metal plate at the door handle.

I'll be getting my car this week and im pretty paranoid bout this stealing and breaking in stuffs...

**** those ****s man!

Same thing happened to SKYR34's car...no window smashed nothin man...just a small scratch at the bottom of the driver's door handle...should ask him where he bought the integra from??

All the stuff that got stolen was the dealer's aftermarket stuff that he did as a favour to SKYR34...

One of my brother's cars got stolen from in front of our place..... They forced door locks n ripped off the ignition barrel ... was about 2am or something... Doing this created enough noise to wake us up.... anyway... They took off down our street which kinda looks like this...

So they couldn't get to the main road (cause it just don't link up) and it takes over a minute to go round the block (even at high speed)... in that time my dad and brother were in 2 other cars (one was a modern commodore which would way out perform the old Ballina that was stolen)...

Anyway at the same time we rang the cops... cops did nothing until we told em that we were chasing the thieves... We kinda lost em cause we were slow getting outta bed n finding the keys etc ... but the cops immediately dispatched a whole lotta cars and that night only a few hrs later the car was recovered having been dumped about 1-2km away...

They still managed to do a few k damage to the car

Guys.. Firstly

DONT TALK ABOUT WHAT ALARM YOU HAVE ON THE FORUMS!

no doubt car theives have computers and can look at these forums. Telling the world what kind of alarm you have will only make it easier for them to break into your car.

Your alarm should be a 3 point system, black wired and installed by someone who knows what they are doing. It took over 6 hours to install the alarm in my car, and it was not cheap. If you spend less than $1000 bucks then your not getting a decent system.

Look around at your options, if your really worried then their is tracker systems on the market.

SKYR34, it's fantastic that you got your car back. sorry to hear that it has damage but no doubt that will be easily fixed. What you should do now is go to a workshop / auto electrician and get him to repair the damage. Then go out and get a good alarm system.

Also, do you type like that on purpose? It makes communication very awkward.

haha

yeah, it's annoying when people type like that. This is a forum so you've got plenty of time to type out the full words instead of typing lyk dis u no wat i meen, d00d?

anyways, glad to hear you got ur car back.

my car on the other hand, is gone. it's officially a write off.

    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
