chances are if it was the Russians its long gone. they either moved it out of state in an enclosed trailer and will be shipping it to mother Russia or the car is in pieces and cut up. watch yourself with the Russians. check coney island and brighton beach. ill keep my eyes and ears out for the car.
My friends and I were talking about this last night. Somebody real close to you or what ever shop you left it at made a key and had a programmed remote or something. How did they get in the car so fast? How did it start so fast? Someone in your click is low on cash and knows someone that wanted your car and offered good money. You got set up man, look into it.........
After consulting with a few lockpick experts, here's what they believe what happened:
There is no way the GM ecu can work with a Nissan immobilizer system. 9 out of 10 , there is even an aftermarket ECU in his car. (IDK if this is the case or not)
So , that takes care of the immobilizer. All the thieves needed is a metal key. I don't know about the 350Z , but on most Nissans (and Subaru's) the key code is on a label in the glove compartment.
If the car had been on a car show , its easy for someone to go and sit in the car and have a look at the code label. At the same time , his friend is asking the owner details about the engine and ecu , to distract the owner.
And there you have it.
Hope this helps.

This is horrible to hear dude. I know there's been a lot of crazy stuff happening around my area too. Scary!
I'm looking forward to the story of you catching these guys who did it.

This is absolutely awful. My girlfriend lives in Little Neck too, and I'm there everyday, so this hits close to home in many ways. I am extremely pissed off to hear this, Noah. I've seen your car before, and it was an absolute beast - without a doubt the fastest Z I've ever seen, and one of the fastest cars I've ever seen period.
The harsh reality of things is that the car may be in pieces by now. Sigh. I told my GF about this, and she's just as pissed as me.

I came across this item on ebay but the seller's description mentioned a LS2 swap. Located in CT. I'm sure there are plenty of people out there doing this type of conversion outside of the forums but thought i would post it here:

I dunno but give it a try???? Just trying to help

I feel sorry for the idiot that tries to steal mine.
I hope you get you ride back soon Noah.
OMG my friend's STI got stolen right in front his house as well. This was in Flushing,Queens. It happened jsut this pasted Weds. Is there a GTA running around??? Could it be the same guys?
Unlikely. The guys who stole Noah's car were obviously professionals knowing the immobilizers would be shut off and finding codes to duplicate the key. The STI was probably just a tow truck job. Who knows though.
