Hi all

just a word of warning to those who have a skyline without an alarm :P

my bro had his r32 gtst stolen yesterday. got taken in the early hours of the morning. the car was parked in his girlfriends driveway at Ottoway and was today found by the police in Greenacres minus a panasonic double din deck (if anyway trys to sell you one), front number plate and center compartment. we are just glad that the car wasnt smashed up or anything. the d*%#heads even left us a set of keys, half a tank of petrol and a few half smoked fags on the seats. other then that the car is also missing some key holes.

the thing that gets to me the most is that the car is only an auto, pretty standard with an aftermarket exhaust but yet who ever stole it was game enough to do in front of the house right where the parents room was. it would of paid if the car had an alarm...

be careful where u park this long weekend! :(

Might sound harsh, but people who don't have an alarm in their cars should be hung, drawn and quartered. It just raises the insurance premiums for people who do the right thing and don't beg for their car to be stolen. Especially if it is parked in a driveway in Ottoway overnight.

"Might sound harsh, but people who don't have an alarm in their cars should be hung" lol

yeah maybe just a little harsh

so go out and buy an alarm today buys and girls!

how they started the car without a key? how many other ways are there?

lets just say an alarm and immobiliser would stop this from happening?

haha alarms dont do anything .....ive seen alarms go off and people just keep walking past, dont wanna get involved etc...the best thing to do is change your locks to keyless entry etc or just leave a rottwiler in the front seat or something......very good to hear you got your car back tho as not many people do

have u seen how immobilisers work?

unless your installer hid the relay really well, which they wouldnt have because its hard and takes alot more time (i installed my own with a mate). providing the theif can locate the relays it would only take about 15 seconds to un-immoblise one.

yeah but lang, you are missing the most important functions of an alarm:

1. as a deterrent (a flashing red light at night makes a car very unattractive)

2. that 15 seconds is often the difference between a stolen car or not. The car in question was in the driveway of a home, so the second the car made a noise the thief would have been out of there.

Proof of this is my brother-in-law David's R33 was broken into last week at his home, but as soon as the alarm went off the thief fled.

Also, I have 4 points of immobolisation and a kill switch - plus 4 piezo sirens mounted inside the cabin - the noise of the piezo's is absolutely ear piercing - I would enjoy seeing a thief try to get through the 3 immobiliser points with that noise in his ear :bunny:

My brothers girlfriend's neighbour had his newly bought R32 GTR stolen. They found it the next day with a completely blown engine. Also, a mate got his R32 GTST stolen about a week ago too. First thing you guys all need to do is get good working alarms and imobilisers and leave your cars in well lit, safe areas.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
