i woke up this morning and saw my car wasnt there. called the cops then went looking for it. a mate rang me and told me it was just down the road

anyway, they must have rolled it down the hill then tried to start it but couldnt. so, they stole a few things inside and slashed the tyres

anywaym if anyone comes across

1. an rb20 air flow meter with the leters RB20 written on it with a apexi power intake attached, or

2. a dpx-4010 kenwood cd player

could they PM me.

also when i looked at saw how they tried to start car i realised how easy it was. the r32s really do have a pretty sh1thouse security system when it comes to the ignition,

oh well, even though it will cost about $1000 (insurance excess is about that so ill get nothing) im just glad i have my car

dude thats pretty shit what has happened but not much you can do about it. there are alot of poor fools out there who do this kinda shit every night!

and about the easyness of starting cars without keys. every car can be done. easily.

for some reason they couldnt start it

its just my luck that ive been trying to buy an alarm in the last week or so

bloody bastards knew what they were doing, wore gloves, knew exactly what to take and how to take the stuff out. the only screws the undid where tall the necessary ones

oh well, its gives me a wake up call i guess. ive just NEVER heard of anything been stolen in this area so i trusted people

northern beaches?!!! that's where I am... can you PM me what suburb...?

that's seriously screwed up mate, still - living in this area I don't really trust parking on the street, because anyone from anywhere can come and do something whilst you're asleep, etc. if you have to park it on the street, like everyone said - make sure you have an alarm, otherwise... :ufo: bye bye car!

Proberly not related, but about 2 weeks ago 4 cars got stolen all around your street.. well mainly Elm Ave. although it doesnt seem related. due to the cars that were stolen where shit boxes..

...

i think i know who did it because there's a really dodgy guy in my area and his best mate has a r32. told the polic about him but they couldnt find any prints because the thieves were wearing gloves

Counts me out cos ben is not my best mate and he sold his 32 anyway. :wassup:

Glad you got it back without too much hassle.

a mate had his s13 sitting in his driveway in belrose about 6 months ago and he woke up one morning trued to start the car and it wouldnt .. he went to the front of the car and noticed someone had unbolted his FMIC overnight , was a thick HKS one too

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
