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?).

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
