hey matey..

my mate commented that he had never seen a dark blue s2 r33 and i told him how rare they were...

the car had white rims, possibly BBS style but couldnt tell as they were moving, and also had a sunroof...and perhaps a front mount, but not sure..

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.

    • 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
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • 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
