STOLEN: 1998 C34 Stagea (S2) - Black

This car is very dear to me and was stolen last night 09/02/2017 from South Road in Hampton East.

If you see it can you either report it to the cops or contact me directly on 0477 355 000

Reg ZXM-440

Thanks

UPDATE: I just spoke to the police, apparently it has been found in North Melboune with a busted ignition barrel and no other information. I'm guessing it was found by a parking inspector or a curious local. Will update when the inspector gets back to me and releases the car.

Thanks again for your help all. I'm very glad at the prospect of having it hack.

Okay, it's finally home and some notable things to report are

  • missing ignition barrel made it shockingly obvious how easy older cars are to steal
  • things missing were a car charger, cheapo set of sockets and a vape (good quality stereo was left wtf)
  • it was obvious they went through every nook and cranny of storage space, even inside the spare tire tools
  • they removed the air filter panel which was in the boot
  • oil fine
  • coolant fine
  • tires fine
  • 1/4 tank of petrol left
  • flat battery
  • melted positive battery terminal
  • when jump started starter motor just clicks and battery terminal starts smoking
  • can push the car around in 5th and engine still turns over

so i think the next step is to find a column key lock set thing and call an auto elec to figure out what has gone wrong with the starter circuit

unless anyone has any ideas?

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • 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. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
