This happened last friday afternoon, my friend's black S15 was stolen from UNSW biomed carpark complex...

It has carbon fibre bonnet, the large factory optional rear spoiler, some matt black multispoke JDM 17' wheels with red time attack style rims, pretty loud Trust PE Ti exhaust, clear/chrome aftermarket taillights. no side skirts

inside it has pivot shift indicator, chrome momo gearknob and pivot gear display behind the steering wheel on top of the steering column... (yes plenty of bling)

rear bumper had a bit of parking damage on the driver's side

it had some flashing white LED rear number plate light (dying LED)

number plate is gold on black, 888LCK or LCK888 (don't quite remember... its a pretty asian plate though)

I think his car has been targeted for a while, a week before his car got stolen, someone even wrote a note and stuck it on the windscreen, and wrote something along the line of "i like your car with the pivot gear selector... etc"

so be careful for anyone here who goes to UNSW, and if anyone comes across this car please let the police know.

the car is insured but would still prefer to recover it since the owner put a lot of work into it.

and yes it does have a mongoose alarm, with 3-point immobiliser.

wow i thought having a aftermarket immobaliser like a mongoose would make it unstealable !

Not really if they want it they will take it! Best bet is a switch to cut all power to the fuel pump hidden somewhere around your car :thumbsup: and wheel clamps!

Will keep an eye out west for it

I thought parking on uni grounds would be safe? :P

Got me worried about going uni now lol. Got around 2 months before I would have to go back though..

Will keep an eye out for you, noted number plate down on a post-it in my car :)

By Biomed carpark do you mean the botany street multi storey? think i've seen this car in there a few times, looks great.

they make it stupidly easy though to steal a car from there if, obviously, there are no CCTV cameras in that whole carpark?? The lighting in there at times can be shocking at certain times of the day. Can't believe someone would have the nerve to steal a car from there though..

Post-it'ed in my car. If I see anything in the western sydney(parra, ryde, merrylands, granville)area, will post here.

Guys, do what my uncle does. Pop your bonnet and remove a few engine relays. Its not probable that the thief will pop your bonnet and check your relays, and without them the car will not start.

Or if you're handy with a soldering iron, wire in a breaker wire and a switch. Or use a magnet responsive switch concealed under the dash and use a swipe magnet to activate a relay and close the circuit. Sooo many things you can do. You could even wire up your own keypad!

none of which will stop thieves from just dragging it onto the back of a tow truck :)

Yes my mate does go to the RPAH quite often caus he does quite a lot of research work in their lab..

The botany st multi storey is where it got stolen from, I remember reading a post a few years back on Sau where someone's car was stolen there before as well.

To date there's still no news or any progress with the police investigation, so our guess is that it's quite likely the car is now stripped for parts already..

Lucky the car is fully insured, but not the time and sweat we've put in to building it

i must admit it is quite a flashy car with quite a few obvious blings, I guess thats why it caught the thieves attention

with pretty much no hope of getting the car back, ill list a few parts here and hopefully these things will help us tracking the thieves down, as some parts are quite rare.

It has the following:

ARC fmic

pivot shift indicator

pivot turbo timer

Matt black multispoke work wheels with red timeattack rim, ku36 tyres

trust titanium power extreme catback

trust dump

carbon fibre bonnet

bilstein b9 shocks with blue bilstein springs

tein caster rod

cusco front and rear sway bars

short shifter

thanks everyone!

      Ok sounds good. Hopefully if I end up changing it to the nismo bushes I don't get that veering issue. I don't think there's a point in lubing up these bushes again. Weird that it it makes just as much noise with all the grease inside it versus without grease prior to removal. Bizarre.

      Yeah, you don't need camber bushes on stock arms to make a car drive straight unless it's got another problem. F'rigsample, slide the thing into a kerb, bend the front subframe mounts a little....subframe is now twisted, shifted or otherwise in the wrong spot...and you need to do funky stuff with the wheel alignment to get it to drive straight. Maybe a little more caster on one side, or a little more camber. FWIW, I can have my camber off side to side by a half a degree or more, and either way, so more one side, or more on the other, and the car doesn't really want to pull to one side. It will definitely ride road camber differently, and want to track uphill (ie, towards the centreline when on the LHS of a normal crowned piece of road, like it should) or want to roll downhill (which it really shouldn't). But on fairly flat road surfaces, like the middle of a 3 or 4 lane motorway, a half a degree either way doesn't make a lot of difference. I sometimes do quite a few miles with my wheel alignment messed up, because I don't always get a chance to set it right again after a serious dismantling, before I have to drive it to work again. Like, a whole week's worth of daily shuffle.

      To clarify, I meant nismo bushes, not control arms (don't even think that's a thing for my car). So the suspension specialist said, if I buy those nismo bushes which are perfectly centered it will cause my car to veer in one direction. Whereas he said the current offset bushes that I have were put in on purpose to fix that issue. This will be my third wheel alignment if I put these bushes in lol. My chassis is straight, all my rails are clean.

      OK, well, in that case, the suspension specialist is either a moron, or you aren't understanding what he was trying to tell you. Nismo arms are not really different than stock arms. Both are fixed geometry. I don't know if the Nismo ones are a little shorter than the stockers (or perhaps even a little longer) or the same length, but....if you swap from stock to Nismo, whatever happens to one side will happen to the other side. It will not cause it to steer left or right. That is unless you have adjustable bushes in your stockers, and they happen to be adjusted to dial out some bent chassis shenanigans. But, if that were the case, you'd just put adjustables in the Nismo arms anyway, because Nismo arms are essentially just expensive stock arms. And doing a wheel alignment is just a weekly thing in my world. I have had the suspension apart so many times this year that I've lost count and just about worn out a torque wrench. I'm out in the shed right now cutting up some alloy section and making bases for my new stringline setup. Got to make new swivel plates next, then I'm good to do toe properly, as well as camber and bump steer.

      Yeah, nah. Not a thing. The gasket between the top of the plenum and the runners is far more likely to blow out when it gets old, and not really at ~14 psi. These things have been run to double that for 30 years without that being a common thing.
