No worries :happy:

To the original thread poster... may I ask why u didnt get the car towed? Surely u'd have known leaving a car like that on a road means bad news?

leaving an import on the road to springbrook is suicide

what the people take so we can keep an eye on classifieds?

no, wouldn't have done shit

would someone have come to stop them? would they have run away? would anyone care?

i have better deterrant devices avaliable to me now =)

man, if i was watching tv and i heard my car alarm going off outside i'd be going to have a look

car thieves aren't going to hang around a car in a suburb street for long with an alarm blaring

id never ever leave my car on the side of the road unattended for long peroids of time. If she breaks down on the highway, im sleeping in the back for the night.

+1 that and ill call my mates to come for a sleep-over lol..

so can we have a list of things stolen so we can all keep an eye out.?

2nd that..i would never leave me my skyline anywere that would worry me :).. but, damn that is bad that happened, that would hurt the heart a bit :(

yer, i would have organised a towey pronto

racq membership is good for something! (i also make them change my tyres)

ur the people that call RACQ out to change a friggen tyre lol. u hold up soo much traffic.. everyone in brisbane has to stop or slow down to look ath the skyline getting its flat changed.. :rofl:

lol.. thats crazy.. hehe

but dosn't it suck waiting 1/2 hour+ just to change a tire?!

have you actually done this? cause i would have loved to have seen the racq dudes face lol

I take it you are quite capable of doin it yourself?

lol if you get ultra care you can tow what ever you want for nuffing, lol i get them to tow at least 2 cars a month...... and then trye changes are good cos the do it like in 10 mins just gotta wait 1hr for them to get there lol

This didn't happen to be a dark blue R33?

Think I saw it Saturday morning on the way to Murwillumbah.. all smashed up.. and thought "ouch"

yep thats the one mate......wish ida had it insured or sumthin im so dissapointed police arnt doing anything

Well if the -poor guy would give details of what they took we may at least be able to keep an eye out for cheap said items.

DARK BLUE sparco steering wheel, gear knob hand brake, blitz sbc i color, drift exhuast tip,(left the rest of the exhuast on), hks ssqv, air induction pipe / pod , intercooler n piping, few other bits and pieces but they completly destroyed everything they touched......its gonn cost a hell of a lot to fix.....if its even fixable at all

no insurance and u left it on road all night. were u high?

lol again.. hehe.. i dont want to be mean, but, this shit has been happending around the world for along time, and here in oz, i feel very bad for what happened, but, if you have something nice that others want in this day and age you need to keep it safe. why do we think that most houses/business's have huge alarm systems and malls have secruity, if the option is there, some people will do anything and live in the now to steal it.. just like leaving money sitting on the ground.. loox like we learn from our lessions though!!...:)

i get my girlfriend to park behind me so she parks me in every night, as i dont trust ppl, and this is in my own drive way!

poor skyline!!!..damn!

AFIAK there is only a police force on the Goldcoast in name only.. They're extremely under-manned, and absolutely useless for anything other than a few defects now and then. As for solving real crime, forget about it.

So here especially you have to be vigilant with all security.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
