Hey,

My car had no front mount, yea I think I know which car you're talking about, he has 18 inch advantek type rims and an after market intercooler on it, it is a rare one. The owner of that car knows my car, he's seen it at Noble park maccas. So i dont think that was my car.

Hey,

Well third party fire and theft covers theft up to $5000 usually, so after you would pay the excess of about $2000 u'd have $3000 given to u.

Man police don't do anything, even when i came up to them with a lead, they basically told me they cant help me, they have no time to chase up the details of wat i told them, and dissmisevly told me that it wasn't my car that i had in mind without properly checking, basically speaking from their experience. So they just leave it to chance. I was even hanged up on once. Sux ey??

Anyone know how to change the title of my thread when it appears in the "view new posts" section? I wanna change the "$500 reward" bit.

Thanks

Just edit it..

Your first post in the thread, down the bottom is a EDIT button, cluck on it and change it thru there..

HMm so basically dependin on which insurance company you with, all you get is about 5000 bucks?? Is that it??

I think i should go with full insurance.. But thats like 2k a year.. I wonder if i can pay in quaretly parts..

HMM Mid_nite, complain to someone in charge that when you called, someone hanged up on you.. Its not your fault, someone stole your car, so why should you be punished esp bysomeone (cops) you are there to actually help you and find your car...

I reckon keep going into the police station each day.. I dont care if they get sick of it, ITS YOUR DAMM CAR MAN!!! Do whateva it takes to find it!!!

but keep your head up man, you will find it..

Exact same situation here. My 180 was stolen Monday morning, i called the cops at 9.30am, they rocked up at 4.45pm, stayed for 5 mins then left. They aren't interested in any of the footage or leads I have. They take 2 mins to pull you over and defect you, but aren't willing to help you when it counts.

Anyways man I know how it feels, so hope you find your car soon.

guys instead of whinging about it here you should go and make a complaint about the officers you dealt with, I can find out the best way to make a complaint, if you like. You won't achieve much by just posting about it.

I understand what its like to have a complaint dismissed and looked at in disbelief and whatever else.

Best of luck to you both, am keeping a look out and been driving around the area alot lately.

I've tried all that, Epping Police Station are slack as. They just say something along the lines of "your compliant has been noted and will be forwarded"

To make things worse, the police officer that was handling my case is on leave for 2 days, so my car was stolen on Monday Morning and now they're telling me that I have to give any information I get to THAT particular police officer, because HE is handling the case, the best they can do is forward it to him on THURSDAY. By then, the car will be stripped and destroyed.

So Im not really just whinging, I'm just making a public comment.

I know exactly how u feel man, I have the same issue, the officer handling my case is never there when I come in and when i pass a message on I never get a phone call from him. Its like WTF are we paying in our taxes for ? They way they handled me and not try to help me at ALL makes me feel like Im living in the shittest country in the world. Making a complaint won't make any difference to me at this stage, it doesn't help so I dont bother.

hey IOWNU, was you 180 stolen on monday 2 days ago?? PM me the details and pics so I can look out for u too...

When u click "edit" on the original thread u can only alter the main text of it, can't change the " R33 S2 Stolen, $500 reward!PLEASE HELP" bit...:D

might seem a bit harsh, but i dont you will see the car unless it has been gutted and dumped :P Like i said before, keep an eye out on ebay/trading post or any other for sales things for parts from an RB25DET and you might catch them out.

May the bastards rot in hell.

hmm you should be able to dude.. Have a look closely!!

What type of alarm did u have on your car midnite??

look man your car is gone.

They probably wont be stupid enough to advertise it on trading post or anything like that.

Most likely the car has been stripped down or taken interstate. Your only chances of getting it back is if the car is being driven around and they get pulled over by the cops and they discover its stolen. If its being stripped which is much more likely then you have jack shit chance of getting anything back.

Its unfortunate but you will learn the lesson the hard way - always have comprehensive insurance and make sure your car has an immobiliser.

Good luck.

    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
    • Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣
    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
