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.

    • 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. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
