Hi .... I'm extremely pissed off! :huh:

On Wednesday arvo I parked at the Kmart side of the galleria in morley for around 1/2 hour while i was shopping between 4.30-5.05pm. Someone broke into my car via the passenger side and stole a lot of valuable stuff I'd really like back. Most of the shit they stole has no worth to them without the other parts under the engine bay...f**king doosh bags, so they'll either try to sell them or dump them!!!! But it's costing me $1550 IN EXCESS!!!!! Cameras at galleria didnt cover the parking spot I was in so no footage (that's if security checked like they said they would) :angry:

Here's the important stuff that was stolen if you can keep your eyes and ears out:

GReddy Profec Eo1 Electronic Boost Controller (screen, controller and sender unit only) + Emanage box

GReddy white electronic gauges

GReddy Turbo timer (black with blue lit display)

Radar detector

Trust Gear nob

Sabelt (blue)

Double din head unit

Grey Adidias shoulder bag of clothing, camera, ipod (unsure what esle was in there)

BEWARE: just car insurance will not cover anything if it is not bolted to the car nor a permanent item...cds are not permanent car items- not covered, bag of items - not covered, emanage that was about to be installed but not yet managing the car- not covered! It hardly makes it worth making a claim.../end rant.

Also if traders could keep a look out for suspicious enquiries on purchasing just the solenoid and wiring for profec e01, or the timer, or the gauges. Thanks.

Cheers guys. Ant, I now know exactly what you mean. I wish I had been paranoid before this happened and it may have been avoided. I thought it was safe, lots of people around, lots of cars around...I didnt park far away and my car could be seen from the entry doors to the shop. Now I even lock my doors while im driving, I feel like my cars a free for all...violated.

Sorry to hear mate

Some thing happened to my brothers car about 3 weeks ago. They stolen a E-01 Boost controller, but they cut the cable that goes under the dash so the unit was useless to them!!!! If you hear anything about people buying parts for an E-01 can you please inform me.

And they also stolen an amp and sub!!

I have a feeling its the same people, idiots dont know anything about imports or electronics!!!

cheers

Sorry to hear that Nat :D

Guy at work had his mazda 626 (wtf) stolen from there too, f*kn dodgy place the galleria, haven't been there in years & won't be taking my car there anytime soon. One question, how many of those items (if not all) were clearly visible inside the car?

Just asking because apart from my a-pillar boost gauge it looks average, the only other things that get attention would be the steering wheel & the not-yet functioning rocket switch that will control the 2 maps (16psi/10psi) once sorted, but even those aren't spectacular....sleeper for the win

I just think its f**ked you can park your car in the middle of the day, in a quite public place, for a short amount of time, and still get f**ked over by these losers, while the same cop that would give you a yellow for a pod won't give a f**k if $1000+ worth of stuff is stolen after a break in. :)

VIGILANTE PEOPLE!!

Sorry to hear that shit happening. You never catch the MF's doing it and what can ya do but just be extra paranoid to protect your hard earned dollars. I have a sick feeling today as my original GTR rims were stolen in the middle of the day in a security building! go figure....

Sounds like its crime time! I have no tint on at the moment, so I guess everything was visible if you look close enough. Im going to have to think about the location and hiding my goodies next time. Dirty dirty scoundrels. Still furious.

Maybe go african style and get the gas outlets under my car. Or maybe get some amazing doors that slam on the intruder breaking any limb thats in the way and lock the rest of their body inside awaiting a beating. Ohh yeah.

Nah my alarm/locks were fine up until the break in, never had a problem. And my alarm is set so that if the key is not in the ignition and the car hasnt been locked, in 30 seconds it automatically locks the doors and arms the sensors (caught me out a few times with leaving my keys inside too).

so then they smashed the windows and got in ?

maybe theres some witnesses ?

edit : also, might want to keep your eyes out for your stuff on ebay, look for new listings for simmilar stuff like yours, if you see any and its listed as beign in WA then you might want to look into it some more.

    • 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.
    • 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.
