My car was stolen on the 25 feb 06, no insurance and most of all my dream car.

But my luck has changed.

Last week a mate spotted a white gtr with a carbon fibre rear spioler in reservior parked outside someone's house, he rang me and i rushed down.

As i was racing down two guys came out of the house where the car was parked and proceded to open the car doors. My mate was with 3 more mates so they must have spooked them and they fled.

When i got there i thought i had won a lotery.

Their she was waiting for me minus 5 grand rims and some bits and pieces but my 4 grand stereo system was intact.

Anyway I drove the car to preston police station were they started to remove the car contents.

We found 15 cds some clothes cigarettes and some other bits and peices and then under the drivers seat we found a business card.

The business card was from Insane motor sport in cambelfeild, full of oily fingerprints.

My mates and I decided to pay a visit to this workshop the very next day.

And you would beleive it, my 5 grand rims and yoko tyres were sitting on his workshop attached to a white r33 gtst.

Well next the cops were called in and they arrested the owner of the car who also had prior convinctions and now the cops are waiting for fingerprints to come in and arrest some more theives.

The owner of the workshop is called sam and claims not to know anything of my stolen car.

My car is now back on the road and angrier than ever!!

Thanks to everyone for your support and best wishes and good luck to you all.

Happy Days! :)

Nick

isn't that the most feel good story of the day. congratulations on recovering your car. that doesn't happen very often.

get insurance. you don't want to go through all that again. and you can be sure the outcome wont be the same.

congratulations again.

congrats man, i'm glad it all worked out in the end....

its the most gut-wrenching feeling to come back to where you parked your car only to have it gone....

I parked mine in a 'Kings Carpark' one time, and went to the wrong level when i came back to get the car, went to where the car was supposed to be, and there was something else there.... my heart stopped for a good 30 seconds i reckon... it was the most terrible feeling, looking at this other car where my car was supposed to be... nearly in tears.... then i ran up and down the levels to see if it was on another level... luckily enough, i found it on the level below, and it was like christmas... i was so happy, i gave the car a hug :)

so i can understand where you're coming from, but in a much shorter timeframe, haha

Just to rub salt to the injury, sue them for damages, print their details on in the local paper, in fact make a sign saying the owner is a crook and stick it on the side of the street for all to see.

In fact PUBLISH THEIR DETAILS HERE SO WE ALL KNOW......................YES this is good news, you have no idea how happy I am for you. As for the crims............EAT SHIT BITCHES!!!!!!

Those ball'sy f**k's leaving it out in plain view!!!

well at least you know where they live/hang out

As if they didn't know it was stolen!

I would got to every forum and publish everything!!!!!

PS: Police will probably claime the credit on this one!!

PSS: get some comp insurance

PSSS Congrat's man!!!!

I second that! :)

thats great news, no damage done to the car what so ever?

finding ya mags at the performance joint aswell, good shit!

Yeah i would recommend getting insurnace on ya car, it might be costly but, it will be worth it, if something like that happens.

great stuff, good news for the day.

That's awesome!!!

Yeah i agree, let us know the details of the workshop.

The guy in NSW whose 33 GTR got stolen, also had his found!

Good to see they all don't end up as parts.....

Hope the thieves get what's coming to em.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • 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.
