Everytime my cars in the driveway i take the battery out, 2 minute job. Plus i have the spare (tractor) tyre on the front so kinda puts ppl of stealing it. After seeing the RAA open the car with a piece of wire and a triangle shaped piece of wood, makes ya think how easy a skyline is to steal without an alarm - might just be 32's that are easy but yeh.

And yeh hope to hear everything is ok with your car. hopefully they cought whoever stole it and you find out who they are!.

Clutch has burnt out completely, and cannot transmit any power - it was slipping under power before, was already booked into Boost Worx. Thats probably why the car was dumped on Prospect Road, because the clutch failed completely. Apart from the broken window, not much damage. Little personal belongings gone, they took my old dash lights from the centre console worth about $1. They took my safety flare. Could have been heaps worse.

Thanks for keeping ya eyes out guys, and for your messages of support.

Everyone who doesnt have an immobiliser + alarm - please learn from my experience!

i told you that you would get her back mate!

Yes you did - what cross lotto numbers should i pick for this Sat night?

good to hear its been found hopefully no blown engine or diff

time to get an alarm me thinks

George from APS is on holidays as of last night - his wife has a bun in the oven which was due to arrive last night! My car will be locked in the garage with some fuses pulled until George is back to fit my alarm!

heard their was a high speed chase involving a skyline which got away in sa today didnt happen to be yours?

I heard a white nissan was in a chase, I didnt know for sure that it was a skyline. Mine was missing from Monday morning until Tuesday lunch time, not sure if thats in the time frame of the chase.

good to hear youve got her back.

wow - mate, 1st modification should always be an alarm.

search ebay if finances are lacking.

I got mine off ebay (1st purchase for the car), and had it installed asap along with a few other electrical items (boost controller, safc and alarm). Was $120 for wiring those 3 items up at Graham West Workshops (they outsource the electrician jobs, ring and ask who perhaps?).

Good to hear you got it back, you got away lucky too man, could have been heaps worse! Let this be a lesson to everyone! Oh and by the way, if you need a good alarm installer, PM me, got a good bloke who's done a few of my cars :thumbsup:

Alternatively, see the guys at GT Autosound. I had them install an alarm on my R33 just after I bought it (2 weeks after I bought it, wouldnt drive it till it was done) and they did a top job with great service.

I've got a lot of respect for George, Adelaide Pro Sound - so i'd like to stick with him. The car can stay locked in the garage until he comes back to work. But thanks for the tips re other trusted installers.

I've heard not so good stories first hand off people from there zip ties and stuff, bits missing from installs but i guess no one is perfect

hes too quick to bag what isn't his or what he doesn't understand, but that doesn't mean hes isn't PRO @ what he does know.

^^ lol yeah i was thinking that pity there isnt a button you can press that when u leave your car the clutch acts like its fried and slips everywhere so theif leaves car due to no power ... btw i know PFC will limit RPM but yeah

You could put a valve in the hydraulics and achieve that but in the long-term it probably wouldn't do your pressure plate any good.

hey good to see you have the car back

and very lucky that you havent done any mods on your car yet

Hooray you got your car back! :/

My clutch is slipping, i dont think ill change it for security purposes ;)

Get an alarm with all the bells and whistles now, no skimping out. You're lucky its only $1000 for the best alarm and not $15,000 for a new skyline.

- Patrick

windows arent to cheap are they,

as rekin said, spend 1000 bucks on this, dont go cheap, get an alarm with all black wiring, and many features, and dont get one thatll annoy you in the long run. It'll be the best peace of mind.

    • 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).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
