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

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
