cops dont do shit for car break ins.

gfs car got broken into, they took name, rego, parts stolen and chased her up about the damn TITLES of the CDs stolen for a week. WTF? go catch criminals not ring constantly asking exactly what cds were taken!

another mates S13 got nicked (the whole car) and he found it luckily a few streets away but they wouldnt come out for that until he footstamped and threatened until the did.

cops are useless unless your dead. then they seem to take notice.

no it is unless you speed, have big wheels, your car goes psssssttt, a loud exhust, or making clouds lol

then they are right up on your case

Thanks guys appreciate the support I have managed to source a window off another SAU'r at a good price which is great so hopefully that will help me save a few $$$. Big problem is when they cut the SAFC out my car is running like crap now it wont rev above 1700rpm am guessing because when the SAFC was installed they would have to cut and bypass a couple of wires. I will have to try and work out which ones have been cut and solder them back together. Hopefully I will be right but if anyone installed an SAFC and knows what wires I should be looking for or is an electrician (looks at Andrew) and is happy to lend me 5 minutes of phone time or pop out and have a quick look I would appreciate it (locted in the city area).

Cheers Leigh

If it was installed properly, it should have the plastic cable taps/cuts. Basically you put the original wire in and the wire from the safc in, close them up and it splices the original and feeds it into the safc wire. It would be pretty obvious which wires go where from looking at that. Thats if it was installed properly though :D

Otherwise its just a matter of matching colour to colour, wouldnt take more than 30 minutes to do.

Sorry to hear about it :D Exactly the reason I will never move to apartments. Their "secure" car parks seem to have the highest rate of theft.

And they reckon they are not revenue raising........give us a break, any real police work and you can't find them, they're too busy hassling some super criminal [not] for doing 5km/h over the speed limit and extracting a hefty fine as payment!!!

spewing to hear Leigh, id hate for a car to be so violated,

regarding the not running right, if you have a wiring diagram for either the safc or car, find the AFM signal wire and join the two ends together, thats the only wire that needs to be cut when putting an safc I in, not too sure about the II but, if you need a hand, give me a buzz, should be able to fix it up for you.

I remember when i was working in Tuggers there was a crash at the lights near Tyre Power. It was fairly serious, cars had to be towed and stuff. The cops didn't get down there for a full 30-40 mins after the accident (even though the crash had obstructed the road at one point). Police station is like...2 minutes walk away. What the hell?

Anyways, sorry to hear it Leigh. :thumbsup:

again cheers for the kind words all and nik and andrew were right when the safc was installed it just needed the AFM wires reattached and it started running fine again. So things are starting to look better except that i am stuck with a 1980 honda accord for the next week or so lol its a beast :thumbsup:

Yeah if your dodgy.

Scotch locks/insulation displacement joiners should never be used, they degrade the integrity of the conductor, which leads to wires breaking, hot jointing, short circuits etc.. things i certainly wouldnt want when dealing with something that (partly) controls my engine.

Sorry for O/T, but unfortunatly Leigh, i think the only way to have a "secure" carpark where you live is to put a fence and roller door on your parking spot. but on the bright(ish?) side, karmas a bitch, theyll get theirs...

My housemate used the secure parking under my last place. i was forced to park in the vistor parking for a year. i never had one problem being outside, and my car was (is) a lot better than his (exa). someone busted into his car under our secure parking and flogged all his work stuff including laptop etc as he was driving to sydney in the morning for work and had packed the night before. i think if they (crooks) have to try to break in they will, but my car wasn't a challenge so they left it alone. very ironic i think

Sorry to hear that leigh..

that would be my worst nightmare someone breaking into my car..

your kinda right about the car parks.. altho they say there secure, with gates and doors.. its also means there tucked away.. noboys is around.. easier to do what you want without being seen.. Were as if your car is out side in front of and appartment. its more likely for someone to see once the alarm has gone off.. if you get me..

IT may be called secure.. but its so secure no one can see it.. which makes it an easier target.

i had it happen twice in my R33, but they never broke a window. i found out how they got in though, it's not hard to break into cars without window frames.

hopefully you can get your stuff back together without too much hassle, i hated driving around in my car after it was ripped open, it just reminded me all the time of the incident.

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
