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.

    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
