Hey guys, first post and sadly not a good one. My R33 Gts25t S2 was stolen from a westfields car park at Miranda (Sydney) between 12:30-3:30 Monday 13 feb (yesterday) a heap of personal stuff was in there also and im devastated... if anyone spots a white skyline rego AWX-70E please pm! my life is over without my car.. I can only wait for the police to contact me… by now its probably torn apart and its guts dumped in some VL…the thought….unbearable…

f**kING THIEVES, I"LL KILL U ALL AND YOUR FAMILIES .......yes I hate them with a vengence. Might not have gotten my skyline stolen before, but my dad's old nissan got stolen a few years back after spending weeks restoring the whole thing. Hope you have insurance, seems skylines are being stolen left and right these days. Wait til I get my hands on one of these little shit holes, they'll wish they were dead.

Sorry to be so emotional, I'm usually not like this, but the topic of thieves is a sore spot.

If you find the thieves, and need a hand cutting off their limb, let me know.

shit man sorry to hear that. I would be devastated if i got my line stolen. Good luck with getting it back i'll keep an eye out for sure.

It looks like most of the lines that have been thieved recently haven't had alarms or immobilisers in them.

Like lingeringsoul said, if you need a hand dishing out vigilante justice i'm sure there will be a few people on here willing to help out..

Once again man hope u find it in 1 piece.

i think you have fair chance of recovery. the fact it had no alarm or immobiliser and was stolen from westfield during the day means they were most likely opportunity theievs and will thrash it till it needs petrol/they crash/they get caught. Then you will get your poor car back. fingers crossed.

I parked bottom level.. red i think.. its still hard to believe but im hangin on to what a few people have said... i hope it was a group of joy riders...id rather get it back thrashed or crashed than not at all... :rofl:

i talked to my mechanic about it and he said skylines are surprisingly easy to break into and their genuine parts are always being targeted... whats even more disturbing was there were 4 skylines on two levels…easily visible from the bottom… it seemed mine was the easiest to get to..he said they most likely bent the window out and started it ... i didn’t see glass on the ground... maybe because a car had parked in my spot once it was gone...

Not familiar with that Westfield but I suggest you try to request for the suveilence video of the car park(gate) when the car exited. Dont leave this too long as this will be more difficult later on.

i went to security first and asked for video footage but they told me they have never had any video surveillance in their car park... the thieves have obviously done this before :rofl:

Was on the phone speaking to a mechanic who gets alot of tires from the place next door to westfield, approx a few cars per day go missing from that westfield!!!

Will keep a lookout for the car. Rule of thumb, buy an imoboliser and alarm when purchasing the car, gives you piece of mind when u park it at least

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
