Yeah i learnt the hard way guys, no need to say any more about the alarm thing to me - maybe just to warn others who dont have an alarm, its not too late for them to get one.

I was aware that my car could be targetted, i never took it to elizabeth shops, or ttp, always took my girlfriends car.And thought it was ok in my driveway half a metre from the house, in burton - a new estate.

No probs whoring the thread, the SAU friendly chit chat is cool.

Why are skylines stolen generally - is it joy riders? or do they get stolen + rebirthed and sold?

I think it is lowlife scum who generally just want to have a good time.

However, it seems quite a few are stolen and driven around normally quite a lot - a few have been recovered with guys just driving them around as their daily and someone spotting them and taking action.

Needless to say they are one of the most fun cars around, and hence they are targeted.

Hope you get her back in one piece mate! And I hope you find out who stole it for some divine retribution.

both of you shutup. whoring soemone elses thread, for shame.

like u can talk Paul :)

You don't need an alarm, a kill switch and an emobiliser is plenty, I don't care if someone breaks in too much, as long as they don't take the car. Or take out some fuses, thats the cheapest emobliser.

:D

hope the car will turn up soon (minus the stereo etc)

No stereo - just a double-din hole, no amp, no subs, no speakers - the car was still a work in progress...

The waiting game is painful, not knowing where it is, and if i'll get it back...

if you dont get it back i really hope it doesnt turn you off another skyline just make sure the next one is FULLY alarmed 2 alarms even :) just being silly one is enough

for $540 i got my Viper alarm with 3way immobilizer works great if unsavory ppls are out side your house press the panic and they panic and leave

Rego WUO315. Please keep a look out, and phone police 131444 or 000 if you see it. I'd pay a big reward if someone caught the guy, and let me get to him before the cops.

Think I would beat the sh!t outta them too before the cops got to them. I would just say they fell over or something if anyone starts asking questions. Who are the police going to believe, the guy that just stole your car or the inocent victim. LOL

Hope it works out for ya dude. Just makes me so angry when i hear stuff like this.

The red skyline that robbed my soccer club was stolen, I hope these arent the same crew, although the cops caught the ones that did our robbery. seems as though a skyline is an easily stealable getaway car.

youll get it back buddy dont worry.

Thanks for the positive thought!

The red stolen skyline - do you know how it was stolen? ie, broken window, knocked out lock, etc?

Well I'm not sure, all I know is it was clean as hell, was red, had cold multi-spoke rims, and drove real slow as it exited our training field as it had stolen plates, but we suspected that it was their car just with stolen plates... the car got pulled over by the cops, they fled, they went into their flat or something and the cops caught them as they got back home or to their hideabout or whatever. I believe that was the story.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
