I hope the criminal justice system does what its supposed to do!

and WTF is with the joker card? If it is a calling card, most cliche, try hard thing ever.

but werent they trying to burn the car, so wouldnt they expect the card to burn up as well?

yea hope those pricks get what they deserve! Hope this time around the justice system does prevail and sentence these pricks properly.

On a lighter note, how much was the car insured for? and has your mate decided what car he's going to buy next?

I might go check out the auction and see what the car goes for

This scares the s**t out of me, I have to leave my car in shopping centre carpark for work all the time, gonna rig up some kill switches to go with my pager alarm and 3 point immobiliser.

So many imports being stolen lately its fcuked, be careful ppls because it can happen in broad daylight anywhere

Madaz, he had an RAA installed and supplied alarm and immobiliser. it was their top of the range equipment with multiple killswitches etc. im 99% sure that they are a Cyclopes model.

shy_s6, thanks of posting that. i'll let him know about the jeep :/

another update. this is from Sam (the owner)

The pricks caught stealing my laurel yesterday have been linked to several other nissan's and other cars which have been stolen. Got a call last night from CIB (Crime Investigation Bureau), saying that the two caught were in custody and will be charged with theft, arson and many other offences. So those who have had there nissan's or other cars stolen recently go to the local cop shop and ask if they have any leads. It might make you a happy person to find out that the cops have actually spent our time and money doin somethin worth while, rather than defectin cars which look nice and are not endangerin others lives.

As many of us thought there had been the link in all the thefts of imports lately, so no need to be scared of such low-life scum anymore.

A special thanks goes to fuzzydice for puttin 2 and 2 together to catch these pricks, your lead actually made the cops find them. I'm grateful that the car had been found in reasonable condition, even though its an insurance write-off. However i will be approachin the insurance co about the wreck. I will hopefully get the wreck and be sellin it, i know a few people are interested so PM me for more info. (The car is complied with RB20DET in it all legit, so it would be perfect for track or rebuilt for road)

Once again thanks to all those guys who put in effort and created any leads.

Sam.

ah yeah wouldnt of said there that good and if RAA installed it they prolly put the cyclops stickers on it

Umm, isn't the joker the 53rd card? ie. 52+1? How is it the 49th?

That's what I was thinking although it would be +2.

Hopefully we'll see a drop in the theft of imports now. There have been too many lately.

Hi Guys

i work in the mawson lakes area and recently had my car broken into and attempted to be stollen (ignition and under dash ripped apart). Luckily while the car was in the car park prior to this someone picked up the license plate and i have since acquired the address of this plate, hoping the car used wasnt also stollen. Aparently it was the guys involved with all of the other stollen nissans going around.

Ill be payin a visit to this house in a matter of days....

Interesting, what suburb?

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
