Last time ai rx7 series 6 went missing from there it turned up the next day in the same car park but different level.. might be of some assistance to you :blink:

Thanks been looking at all the levels at least once a day.

Does anybody know what a guy who stole a car would be doing? I mean would they be driving around or stipping it down? Do they usually take it to someone (wreckers) to be dismantaled in the shortest time?

Depends on who stole it mate. Could have just been a joy ride and its going to turn up again when it runs out of fuel or they took and striped it already

i used to go to unsw, i always just park it on the streets, and always thought the area was pretty safe compared to usyd...

i remember back a few mths ago there was another r33gtst stolen from i think the unsw biomed carpark?

hope you'll find the car soon mate, will definitely keep an eye out for it, i guess it's not that hard to recognise you car...

mate, i know how u must feel :D

i went thru this 2x myself with my rx7.. 1st time.. yes it was found on a different level with minimal damage

it got done once again not too long ago... i drove it back FIRST time since the 1st incident (1st time in 6months?) and it was done agian. theres no way in the world id ever drive a nice car back to unsw

the thieves there drive up and down the carparks... around the streets looking for nice cars to take

this time.. they even put a crowbar on to my hks vmount intercooler... just smashed up a 2700 dollar IC out of spite.

i hope u do find her..

Could have taken it to a chop shop...

I might have a heads up for you...

R32 gtr white, in a backstreet of burwood..coming down burwood rd turn right one street before the lights that cross parramatta road..

White r32 Gtr with no front bar, 33 gtr rims look like they've been whacked on and a white wing...

Under a car cover...

Plates are ba somthing or rather...Black and white premiums...

Dont know...Could be of some use to you...

Sorry to hear about it bro..

f**k man i go this uni and which carpark was it ????? what time was it stolen?? which gates?

Mech Eng. Carpark. Along Barker Street, near the McDonalds and the BP. Closer to the UNSW rented dorms than not. I think it's Gate 6.

Level 5.

Hey everybody at UNSW that has had their (or a friend i can contact) car stolen. I'm going to admin at uni to ask for a explanation on why the uni security is so poor. We are paying secure car park rates with none of the security. Please PM me with your details..

I can't believe you removed your security system as it conflicted with your Turbo timer.. the mind boggles.

Agreed, i can't believe you did that either... if I were you I would remove the TURBO TIMER, NOT the security system!

Turbo timer is over-rated for street use, all is required is just a little bit sensible driving 1-2 minutes on approaching your final destination

then you do not need a turbo timer at all - I didn't - over 4 years of tuned 230rwkw R33 gtst ownership...

Yes i know, mistakes are made.

I was inefficient at getting the new alarm installed. The skyline wasn't my main focus anymore study was.

dont bother

when my fd was stolen.. i demanded them check the cameras at the exits.. those cameras arent there to check cars but for help points and are ONLY ever activated when some1 presses the button.

then i spoke to head of security at E-Spot and questioned him why the security was so f**ked and even demanded that they install cctv cameras in all the carparks. i was told it is financially unviable as u would need 2-3 cameras on each level and even just the car park behind the libray would need more than 20 cameras. then u need them all to record and have ppl monitor it. the uni is not prepared to spend the money on this. i myself am a unsw staff member (was a studnet there b4 too) and pay for a staff permit.. it is not secure parking that we are getting. its a service that unsw does not take any responsibilities for. i asked to speak to somebody higher up, was told to write a letter to head of Facilities or the Chancellor of the uni and he said that nothing will probably be done anyway even after that...

unsw now is only wanting to give out parking tickets, the security there do not give a flying f**k if ur car gets stolen.. they just want money from parking tickets. i now drive my dad's car to work and one day had to work til 5:30, i purchased a ticket $6 or so to park til 5:11. i rocked up at 5:35 to see the security guy writing out a $79 fine for overparking.

moral of the story.. unsw doesnt care if u get ur car stolen. maybe its the security there who walks up and down checking out where nice cars are and calling in their "mates" to steal the cars. i dont know but hell.. if u drive an import.. and go to unsw... catch a bus and train instead

oh.. and if u still want to do something, u can contact me on 0413 525 818 but im telling u, ive tried doing wat u want to do and i know they dont care

    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on.
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
    • Skip the concrete, we just need to smooth a field. Mark knows how to drive a grader Duncan   I reckon 100x100 flat area for skid pan style, and then some sort tracks for rally... Duncan's already got a rally car on the premises to...
    • Well, yeah, the RB26 is definitely that far off the mark. From a pure technology point of view it is closer to the engines of the 60s than it is to the engines of the last 10 years. There is absolutely nothing special about an RB26 that wasn't present in engines going all the way back to the 60s, except probably the four valve head. The bottom end is just bog standard Japanese stuff. The head is nothing special. Celicas in the 70s were the same thing, in 4cyl 2 valve form. The ITBs are nothing special when you consider that the same Celicas had twin Solexes on them, and so had throttle plates in the exact same place. There's no variable valve timing, no variable inlet manifold, which even other RBs had either before the 26 came out or shortly afterward. The ECU is pretty rude and crude. The only things it has going for it are that the physical structure was pretty bloody tough for a mass produced engine, the twin-turbos and ITBs made for a bit of uniqueness against the competition (and even Toyota were ahead on the twin turbs thing, weren't they?) and the electronic controls and measuring devices (ie, AFMs, CAS, etc) were good enough to make it run well. Oh, and it sounds better than almost anything else, ever. The VR38 is absolutely halfway between the RB generation and the current generation, so it definitely has a massive increase in the sophistication of the electronics, allowing for a lot more dynamic optimisation of mapping. Then there's things like metal treatments and other coatings on things, adoption of variable cam stuff, and a bunch of other little improvements that mean it has to be a better thing than the RB26. But I otherwise agree with you that it is approximately the same thing as a 26. But, skip forward another 10 years from that engine and then the things that I mentioned in previous post come out to play. High compression, massively sophisticated computers, direct injection, clever measuring sensors, etc etc. They are the real difference between trying to make big power with a 26 and trying to make big power with a S/B50/54 (or whatever the preferred BMW engine of the week is).
