Sad to hear, hope everything turn out to be alright.

Wasn't there a case happened here in Melb, some guys lost their car and 6months later found what looks like their car's parts being sold on the trading post?

They came around with Under cover cops, pretended to buy the parts and turned out to be they were actually their car's parts and so these Middle East guys got caught.

This is such a well ORGANISED crime, if they ever happened to get away from what they just did, chance is we wont' even see the parts in Aust anymore, definately be over sea. If you think its hard to ship 6, 7 cars out of the country, think twice because remember how a Koren Ship sliped through, enter our water, got to Geelong without notice while trying to off load Heroin?

Anyway, just my thought.

Complete Bullshit!!!!!!

Disgusts me how someone can take a car like that have... Although the fact of the system being down indicates either someone inside or some serious organised professional to pull of a job like that..

as someone said all the work and time spent on making the cars what they were can never be replaced...

Hope they find the cars and not too much damage is done...

:S. i think alarms will be headed to GPS monitoring soon.

They have been for many years mate.

It costs less than 1k per year. Few mates of mine use it... and have as long as i've known them now, easily 4 years.

Theres more likely a snitch, one of the employees, or maybe a customer who really likes to hang out there alot. No pointing fingers though, just a hunch. Really feel sorry for the people whos cars where stolen, what i dont get though wasnt there any cameras in the workshop? or atleast alarm system?

We have them in our cars, the only on-going cost $9 per month for the sim-card, the other one no cost unless calls are made .

It uses GPS to lacate the car and GSM to call you, if it moves, someone opens the door, starts it , cuts the main battery or even low battery ( bellow a pre set volt value).

Much better system that QT as it has unlimited cover as long as it is above ground ..

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
