Warning: Car Theif targeting cars at Macquarie Centre


Recommended Posts

Hi,

I have just been informed by a friend that his white R32 GTST was stolen the other night while parked at Macquarie shopping centre in Sydneys northern suburbs. He was seeing a movie and came out to find his car space empty and no sign of his R32 anywhere. Upon calling security they confirmed his rego and said his car had been found on the bottom level of Macquarie carpark blocking traffic - The theif or theives had by the looks of it tried to push the car and didnt appear to have succeeded in starting it.

The police that took his statement kindly commented that their is some young tool around 15 years of age who is known by police for having a thing for Nissans and he repeatedly steals Nissans from Macquarie along with other cars. They also mentioned that due to his age he continually gets away with it and proceeds to do it again.

Police apparently also added that many of the cars he steals are found in the housing commision parking in the area and funnily enough they also made mention of the address of the offender saying that it was clearly his work, they recognised the signs ie the drivers seat so far foward it almost touched the wheel etc etc.

Im sure these facts will interest alot of people who are sick to death of their pride and joy being stolen and ripped off by these theiving scum.

Be careful people!

guys im going out with my g/f to the movies tonight out at penrith.......

i hope no one comes to visit him tonight with a basball bat....

and even if they do it wont be me coz like i said ill be at the movies with my g/f

:)

pm me address please... just curious as to where he lives thats all

My car was attempted to be stolen from maq centa, unfortunately all they did was get down the ramp to talevera rd, and then they realised the engine wouldn't start so they tried to roll it in neutral. It wouldn't roll, so they dumped it n ran. By the looks of it they had tried to get the steering wheel and stereo out but failed.

From then on I left my car at work in Nth Ryde n went with a mate in his bomb :)

I've had a fair few friend loose steering wheels n sh!t at maq centa... think its about time they installed cameras.

It'll stop them from taking the whole car, but it hurts just as much when they scratch or take something small.

I still want to give this young meat some westside lovn. He can be my personal b*tch to whip... :rolleyes:

heh, maq centre has been RENOWNED for a LONG TIME for this!! i know a HEAP of people personally who have had their cars stolen/broken into/damaged while it has been parked there...

never go there!

I've heard exactly the same thing ages ago Prank, Macquarie shopping centre is just too ****ing dodgy - I've never had any problems with Westfield at Chatswood, Hornsby, and Liverpool though - any one on here heard anything about those places?

But yeah definetly steer clear of macquarie :-/

I have heard rumours about Macquarie Center but i wasn't sure how credible the allegations were. Now, after reading this forum the truth has been exposed.

I have parked my Skyline there many times before, thankfully nothing has happened, but now after reading this forum I am thankful my $8000 NISMO wheels are still on my car.

Thanks for the warning, I'll stick with Chatswood or Hornsby Westfield.

Cheers,

Simon :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :burnout: :eek:

they mainly target Tuesday nights where most are there to watch a movie or Thursday nights... some watch movies after shopping?? I haven't heard much of stuff happening during the daytime though, I used to work in North Ryde and goto Macquarie Uni and parked my car there alot of times.

Yeah, Livo Westfields is surely a no go zone and also Parramatta and Burwood Westfields. I personally know of people who's had their car done at those places. I guess the best thing is to stay clear of big shopping centre carparks alltogether, especially at night.

A basic tip is to not draw attention to yourself before you park. That is, don't rev your motor so the world can hear, make your BOV scare the crap out of old people, and also don't pump your stereo out loud before you park. Doing these things simply announces to theives that you have arrived and got gear worth knocking off.

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
