Congrats! You're so lucky complete dummies stole your car. I can't believe anybody would be driving a stolen car in public like that, and even stupid enough to keep stolen goods at their workshop! IDIOTS!! Worked in your favour though that's for sure!!

This is insane, awesome work!! Cant believe you caught them walking back to your car and found your rims at the performance shop. Top effort, hopefully the crims will be getting alot of sausage when they are locked up.

Man that's awesome. I literally started punching the air as if I had just found the car myself and it was my own when i read that.

Feel good story for the week.

Thanks for sharing.

And yeah, I would shame the thieves too.

Go knock on the neighbours doors of the house where you found it, to see if they lived there, or if it was just a mates place.

Either way, tell them what happened, and ask if it's ok to put up a big sign saying "Car thieves live here ---->" on thier front lawn for a couple weeks!

:rolleyes::thumbsup: ABSOLUTELY AWESOME NEWS !!!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Prosecute them to the full extent of the law ( consult a good solicitor ) and sue them for all the mental anguish they caused you. All the sleepless nights and migrane's you've had since your car was taken and how that's affected your job, your relationship and your general health and wellbeing. :blush:

If all else fails, revenge is sweet !!! :thumbsup:

your lucky it was stolen by some of the most uneducated and hopeless thieves anyone has probably seen for quite some time.....

stealing a car, parking it in full view of the public in someones driveway, slipping a business card under the street, then having stolen goods from the car sitting at the business addresss?!?!

these clowns deserve 12" of love behind bars for their stupidity!

That's great that you got your car back. For everyone else I'll tell you that there is NO way they will get time behind bars for this. Courts are rediculous. Just like your all happy when you contest a ticket and win, so will these guys. Small fine and good behavior bond.

Very true! If you want justice then expose them to SAU and a local newspaper!!

Thanks so much for all your replys and best wishes, you all have hearts of gold.

My GTR had its steering wheel removed and replaced with a steering wheel with a S logo on it. Im guessing its a skyline wheel as it fitted straight on, and funny enough the white r33 with my wheels in the INSANE MOTOR SPORT workshop didnt have a steering wheel at all.

They smashed the ignition barrel then unscrewed the ignition module behind the key barrel but funnily the plastics were not damaged so i think they must have unsrewed the the steering collum plastics and then re-asembled them operating the ignition by turning the module with a screw driver hanging out from under the dash.

The alarm was working so they must have worked out how to disarm it without a remote. The alarm was a AUTO MATE made by DIRECTED ELECTRONICS same company as VIPER also same price, $1000 installed!

THe wipers were removed and also the black plastic just underneath but left in place, minus the rear bonnet rubber and screws and clips holding it down.

When i went to a Wrecker to buy some wipers i told this young kid about my story and he told me when these cars get re-birthed they remove these parts to get to the number on the firewall with a grinder and replace it with other numbers. Made sence to me.

Also my rego plates were tossed and replaced with some suspended rego plates and my australian compliace tags were removed.

My mechanic told me the rims my car was found with were from a s14. The body had very minor dints but moslty intact. So i was conviced the theives had a wrecked white GTR with plans to re-birth it with my baby.

But wait there more.

On monday i got a call from a guy called Alex who had just imported a white GTR r32 and was selling it.

He asked me if the guy who the police charged for my wheels was called sam? i said no but the guy who owns Insane Motor Sport located at 16 Bancell St Campbellfield is named sam.

When i asked him why he asked he explained to me someone called sam rang him about his car, gave him his address but never showed up. He thought at the time he was just wasting his time.

Shortly afterwards one morning he noticed his GTR not in his garage but pushed across the road broken into and 3 of the 4 screws holding the stering wheel plastics together on the drivers side carpet. He thinks the theives were spooked somehow and left the car in the street.

As no one else rang him about his car he thinks this caller is the only person who could have known about his car.

I advised him to call the broadmeadows police who are handling my case and report it

So im guessing that someone somewhere has got a white wrecked r32 GTR with plates and want to re-birth it.

Take care everyone.

Happy Days :mad:

Nick

I propose we organise a group buy with a difference :P

Group Buy on flights for all to Melbourne, then Group Buy on rental of a mini-bus and we'll all visit said workshop and the homes of the thieves.

After the tour / workout we could all go to Lygon St. for Pizza and Gelato :thumbsup:

That's awesome news.

I swear every workshop around Campbellfield/Fawkner is full of dodgy f**ks. You can just sense it when you're talking to them. You could probably turn up to any workshop in the area and they'd deserve a good beating for something or another. It'd be the first place I'd look if my car was stolen.

Was the white 33 actually their car or was it another stolen vehicle?

I guess the thieves won't be working for that workshop again eh? They must have been 15 with those sh1te skills.

Btw what side of town do you live on for your car to turn up there?

I think you owe your mate quite a few beers :D

    • 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.
