I hope the criminal justice system does what its supposed to do!

and WTF is with the joker card? If it is a calling card, most cliche, try hard thing ever.

but werent they trying to burn the car, so wouldnt they expect the card to burn up as well?

yea hope those pricks get what they deserve! Hope this time around the justice system does prevail and sentence these pricks properly.

On a lighter note, how much was the car insured for? and has your mate decided what car he's going to buy next?

I might go check out the auction and see what the car goes for

This scares the s**t out of me, I have to leave my car in shopping centre carpark for work all the time, gonna rig up some kill switches to go with my pager alarm and 3 point immobiliser.

So many imports being stolen lately its fcuked, be careful ppls because it can happen in broad daylight anywhere

Madaz, he had an RAA installed and supplied alarm and immobiliser. it was their top of the range equipment with multiple killswitches etc. im 99% sure that they are a Cyclopes model.

shy_s6, thanks of posting that. i'll let him know about the jeep :/

another update. this is from Sam (the owner)

The pricks caught stealing my laurel yesterday have been linked to several other nissan's and other cars which have been stolen. Got a call last night from CIB (Crime Investigation Bureau), saying that the two caught were in custody and will be charged with theft, arson and many other offences. So those who have had there nissan's or other cars stolen recently go to the local cop shop and ask if they have any leads. It might make you a happy person to find out that the cops have actually spent our time and money doin somethin worth while, rather than defectin cars which look nice and are not endangerin others lives.

As many of us thought there had been the link in all the thefts of imports lately, so no need to be scared of such low-life scum anymore.

A special thanks goes to fuzzydice for puttin 2 and 2 together to catch these pricks, your lead actually made the cops find them. I'm grateful that the car had been found in reasonable condition, even though its an insurance write-off. However i will be approachin the insurance co about the wreck. I will hopefully get the wreck and be sellin it, i know a few people are interested so PM me for more info. (The car is complied with RB20DET in it all legit, so it would be perfect for track or rebuilt for road)

Once again thanks to all those guys who put in effort and created any leads.

ah yeah wouldnt of said there that good and if RAA installed it they prolly put the cyclops stickers on it

Umm, isn't the joker the 53rd card? ie. 52+1? How is it the 49th?

That's what I was thinking although it would be +2.

Hopefully we'll see a drop in the theft of imports now. There have been too many lately.

Hi Guys

i work in the mawson lakes area and recently had my car broken into and attempted to be stollen (ignition and under dash ripped apart). Luckily while the car was in the car park prior to this someone picked up the license plate and i have since acquired the address of this plate, hoping the car used wasnt also stollen. Aparently it was the guys involved with all of the other stollen nissans going around.

Ill be payin a visit to this house in a matter of days....

    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
    • Look, realistically, those are some fairly chunky connectors and wires so it is a reasonably fair bet that that loom was involved in the redirection of the fuel pump and/or ECU/ignition power for the immobiliser. It's also fair to be that the new immobiliser is essentially the same thing as the old one, and so it probably needs the same stuff done to make it do what it has to do. Given that you are talking about a car that no-one else here is familiar with (I mean your exact car) and an alarm that I've never heard of before and so probably not many others are familiar with, and that some wire monkey has been messing with it out of our sight, it seems reasonable that the wire monkey should be fixing this.
    • Wheel alignment immediately. Not "when I get around to it". And further to what Duncan said - you cannot just put camber arms on and shorten them. You will introduce bump steer far in excess of what the car had with stock arms. You need adjustable tension arms and they need to be shortened also. The simplest approach is to shorten them the same % as the stock ones. This will not be correct or optimal, but it will be better than any other guess. The correct way to set the lengths of both arms is to use a properly built/set up bump steer gauge and trial and error the adjustments until you hit the camber you need and want and have minimum bump steer in the range of motion that the wheel is expected to travel. And what Duncan said about toe is also very true. And you cannot change the camber arm without also affecting toe. So when you have adjustable arms on the back of a Skyline, the car either needs to go to a talented wheel aligner (not your local tyre shop dropout), or you need to be able to do this stuff yourself at home. Guess which approach I have taken? I have built my own gear for camber, toe and bump steer measurement and I do all this on the flattest bit of concrete I have, with some shims under the tyres on one side to level the car.
    • Thought I would get some advice from others on this situation.    Relevant info: R33 GTS25t Link G4x ECU Walbro 255LPH w/ OEM FP Relay (No relay mod) Scenario: I accidentally messed up my old AVS S5 (rev.1) at the start of the year and the cars been immobilised. Also the siren BBU has completely failed; so I decided to upgrade it.  I got a newer AVS S5 (rev.2?) installed on Friday. The guy removed the old one and its immobilisers. Tried to start it; the car cranks but doesnt start.  The new one was installed and all the alarm functions seem to be working as they should; still wouldn't start Went to bed; got up on Friday morning and decided to have a look into the no start problem. Found the car completely dead.  Charged the battery; plugged it back in and found the brake lights were stuck on.  Unplugging the brake pedal switch the lights turn off. Plug it back in and theyre stuck on again. I tested the switch (continuity test and resistance); all looks good (0-1kohm).  On talking to AVS; found its because of the rubber stopper on the brake pedal; sure enough the middle of it is missing so have ordered a new one. One of those wear items; which was confusing what was going on However when I try unplugging the STOP Light fuses (under the dash and under the hood) the brake light still stays on. Should those fuses not cut the brake light circuit?  I then checked the ECU; FP Speed Error.  Testing the pump again; I can hear the relay clicking every time I switch it to ON. I unplugged the pump and put the multimeter across the plug. No continuity; im seeing 0.6V (ECU signal?) and when it switches the relay I think its like 20mA or 200mA). Not seeing 12.4V / 7-9A. As far as I know; the Fuel Pump was wired through one of the immobiliser relays on the old alarm.  He pulled some thick gauged harness out with the old alarm wiring; which looks to me like it was to bridge connections into the immobilisers? Before it got immobilised it was running just fine.  Im at a loss to why the FP is getting no voltage; I thought maybe the FP was faulty (even though I havent even done 50km on the new pump) but no voltage at the harness plug.  Questions: Could it be he didnt reconnect the fuel pump when testing it after the old alarm removal (before installing the new alarm)?  Is this a case of bridging to the brake lights instead of the fuel pump circuit? It's a bit beyond me as I dont do a lot with electrical; so have tried my best to diagnose what I think seems to make sense.  Seeking advice if theres for sure an issue with the alarm install to get him back here; or if I do infact, need an auto electrician to diagnose it. 
    • Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber
