C$%ts f#@ked......!!!!!!

OK - Facebook just has the same info as above...will elaborate here:

Spec:
- 1994 Nissan Patrol GQ (RX)
- Auto
- 4.2l petrol (6 cylinder)
- 273,000kms (ish)

I'm thinking the only benefit the scumbags will get is to break it up for parts...so please keep an eye out:


Distinctive features:
Seats
--- Is a LWB, rearmost 2 seats removed and drawers and cargo barrier installed.

Pic shows raised compartment on right hand side but I modified it all to be flat:

65774

--- Mid seats are 50:50 split. Driver side mid seats are removed for additional storage.

- Stickers
--- (worn out "Old Man Emu" suspension sticker on driver side rear window)
--- New ARB St Peters stick on rear window
--- Some sort of Nissan Patrol NSW Owners Club stick on back too
--- Some weird sort of monkey sticker rear passenger side
--- "EFI" and "RX" stickers wearing off

65773

- Body condition
--- No major damages (few little dents here and there, nothing to speak of)
--- Paint condition - White paint blown off by pressure washer middle/above front windscreen. Same at the rear (stopped using pressure washer after that) - Grey primer showing.
--- Above rear wheel arches on "puttied" seams the white had been worn off either side by use of a buffer

Engine Bay
-- Unique 12v system as I did it myself, wasn't even 100% finished... recognisable by ARB battery tray on right hand side of engine re-purposed with 3 fuses boxes for AUX BATTERY, STARTER BATTERY, and ACC all labelled. ACC isn't even wired in. SSB 130Ah deep cycle AGM battery is mounted in the rear of the car. Rear fuse box mounted with inverter and 6 way 240v extension on board mounted behind mid right seat.

Front windsreen is cracked from as of 4 days ago at bottom in a sort of backward "C" shape as a stone hit from passing lorry on way through Blue Mountains to Newnes/Lost City

That's all I can think of for now...head's still spinning. Family holiday in Fraser in May now off.....

[nexula]

...another little unique things was the rear wheel cover....it had button holes put in the bottom to allow the rain to drain out. If you see a cover with "4x4" on it with about 8 button holes in the bottom...chances are it's mine.

[mudnut]

I hope the extra info helps mate. You never know, someone might remember some of it if they see the vehicle for sale.

What have the Police said about this , any leads , they must know its going on.
Touch wood it was happening here abit last year, mainly GQ, scum bags eh

[dom14]

Yeah, GQs are bit easier to steal. These scumbag bums know that. I had to build few security additions to mine 'cos the immobilizer and alarm aren't enough for these specialist GQ stealing gutter scum. I hope the cops find the OPs truck before it gets dismantled into pieces, which is usually the reason they do it for. You can do few things like,
1)Have a GPS/GPRS locator beacon installed in a hidden spot and hard wire it, so it's powered all the time.
2)Wire up hidden switches to disconnect ignition
3)Make a religious habit of locking the steering with a steering locker.
I guess nothing much we can do if the scumbags steal the vehicle using a tow truck, or is there something we can do??!!!

[threedogs]

I did have these boys protecting my gear.
only have billy ATM hes a 52 kg american bull dog.
absolute beast of a dog.

Apart from reporting it stolen on 131 444 (my local police told me to ring this call centre) I've heard nothing from the Police.

I get a warm fuzzy feeling inside though when I see the cops issuing parking fines like at Parramatta Speedway the other Saturday night where they managed to mobilise not one but two officers for the job. Good to know that proper crime is top priority.

Because there's no immediate revenue or any revenue for them to mobilize the forces to investigate your case and find the vehicle, so they don't care. On the other hand, plenty of incentives & revenue for them to sit on their bums and issue parking fines and hide behind a tree to catch hardworking normal law abiding people who goes over 5-10km/h while they are busy at changing the speed limit signs without any prior notice. At least that's how I see it most of the time.

Did here on this forum the GQs were parted out and resold over in Malaysia

If that's true then it means there's a highly organized group are coordinating it, most likely with heavy connections to Malaysia.
It's not that simple to export the stolen vehicle parts overseas without a sophisticated crime ring.
