Hi everyone, i need help.

My 1994 gr2 gtr was stollen tonight.

when i first bought this car 3 months ago all my childhood dreams came true!

then tonight when i came home, the GTR and my dreams were stollen.

I live in melbourne, preston.

It was a white gtr with a very large karbon fibre wing in the rear with 19inch wheels with 295 in the back and 255 in the front.

the rims were a deep dish type and were dark grey in colour.

it had some mild modifications. alarm was a automate (viper) state of the art alarm (cost 1 grand!).

and lastly it wasnt insured!!!!!

was reading some more stollen post tonight and i realised that my baby might be stripped for parts!!!!!!!

any help would greatly be appreciated and rewarded.

damn that sucks dude. So you had a $1G alarm and it still got stolen? Do you have spare keys in your house (maybe they broke in to the house and used the spares to get to the car) otherwise looks like you've been targeted by some pros, in which case theres not alot of chace they just stole it to go for a joyride :)

Go ask your neighbours if they heard/saw anything. If you're lucky to live near any businesses ask if they have CCTV footage that might show them driving off in your car.

Hope yours is a happy ending mate ;)

I can't find any info on Automate alarms? Do you have a link or anything?

I saw all these cool "remote start" and LED-keyring alarm systems around, but went with a mainstream brand because I didn't trust the security of the others. (you can buy spare remotes that are programmable by "the customer".)

If it is a decent 3-point immobiliser, with an alarm on door entry, and has a backup battery in the siren, then they could have only really taken your car via a flat-bed truck or tow-truck!

Thanks for your support everyone.

There was only one set of keys which were hidden inside the house.

The alarm is made by "directed" the web site is www.directed.com they make viper hornet and about 8 other brands including automate.

The web site is www.automatecarsecurity.com . The strange thing was the unlock symbol on the remote (which also beeps an vibrates) was open and showed a tamper on the screen as well!

it was a remote engine start together with an engine immoboliser and they suposidly offer 2500 US cashback if its stolen in the first year. So i thought it was the best alarm.

So i guess somebody knew how to disarm this alarm.

What a waste of money. i think i would be better of with a clublock and pull a wire or fuse out!

The Rego is SGC309.

It is a 1994 r32 GTR white with a large carbon fibre rear wing.

The neighbours said they heard nothing and my street is full of new townhouses.

I thought these alarms were the best!

Thanks again everyone.

Hey buddy,

sorry to hear about your car getting stolen - whats the number plates? I live in the east/south eastern region - i will keep an eye out for it. Did you contact the police?

Yeah dude... I'm in that area a bit for work - plus majority of melbourne... I'll certainly keep an eye out dude... Tough Luck!

What a waste of money. i think i would be better of with a clublock and pull a wire or fuse out!

Hey mate sorry to hear, I'll keep a look out I'm in the area often.

Yeah you should have a good alarm, but other things help as well.

I've probably mentioned this 10 times now, but a detachable quick release steering wheel is the go.

Cars are VERY hard to steal without a steering wheel!!

A mate of mine has a Viper alarm which calls u when triggered, the quick release steering wheel, he also unplugs the airflow metre. It seems a bit overboard, but worth it if your car is gonna be out of sight for a long time.

Anyways mate I'll let you know if i see the car, or if someone starts selling cheap parts.

Ali.

PS: Just thought i'd add that my 180sx was stolen earlier this year from a Panel Shop and recovered 5 days later, with minor damage and a few accessories missing. So there's always hope!! I know how depressing it is.

ALSO you might wanna put this in the VIC section as well....you'll get a better response there.

thanks for your response everyone.

the car was parked in the street and it has been there for 2 months all my neighbours know my car and they didnt see anything.

This car meant alot to me, my wife bought it for me for chistmas, that just past.

Ill be offering $5,000 cash for anyone who can bring it back.

No questions asked!

sorry to hear about ya car being stolen

im in QLD, and we have cars getting stolen left right and centre at the moment, from what i am hearing.

Also a bit sus of having a quality alarm, no one hearing a thing or seeing. Whateva happened they knew what they were doing.

But sometimes it might not matter if you have a alram, if the guys want your car, they will get it somehow, or put it on the back of a truck.

I have an alarm just for the fact of the insurance.

I hope you find your car, and bonus the ppl that took it.

I'll keep an eye out up here, just incase they were doing a roadtrip

or any cheap gtr parts.

And one thing if i found your car, i wouldnt take your money

i think you have lost enough.

If it is a decent 3-point immobiliser, with an alarm on door entry, and has a backup battery in the siren, then they could have only really taken your car via a flat-bed truck or tow-truck!

No offence, but that is far from the truth. It doesnt really matter what brand it is as long as it works, its more in the install. so if you go out and by a $600 alarm and get it installed for 150 bucks well then all your money is down the drain doesnt matter how good your alarm is.

I have a big $$ 3 point etc etc alarm in my car (came with it) and even with my limited knowledge i could disarm it in no time.

    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
    • It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.
    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
