yep I have an immobiliser, alarm, shock sensor, etc... so they wouldn't have got far if they had actually opened the door...

I was parked near cafe primo... just near the padestrian crossing just outside the main door... off to the right a bit... I could easily see my car from the cafe and there weren't that many cars in the park either.

the only reason we took the skyline tonight was cos i was parked in front of the gf's car...

:P b4st4rds!

I had my new 'S' Silvia front badge stolen right out the front of TTP (front row near the pedestrian crossing) in BROAD daylight .... stopped 20 minutes for lunch, came out it was gone .... there were youngsters everywhere out the front and they must've seen who did it. It must have been one of them that took it :D

I disagree - it looks like they had no idea what they were doing .... they must have made HEAPS of noise and taken plenty of time to do that sort of damage!

I had a 'Millenium' style pager installed in my car the other week .... as soon as someone as much as touches the car (shock sensor is set VERY light) the pager goes off in my pocket vibrating and flashing. Nice peace of mind anyhow!

Sorry to hear about your misfortune dude .... I reckon we need to put a GTR out there one night and hide in the shadows then kick the living sh1t out of any bastards that go near it!

sorry to see they did so much damage, theres an easy way of getting into skylines without doing any damage, theifs have brocken into mine twice, the first time they took my gauges, and the second time nothing, ive got an alarm on it, so they must of just ripped out the gauges and run, ****wits, atleast they new what they wer doing and didnt **** my door,

i had mine broke into last week at modbury hospital.

muthaf&^ers used a crowbar to rip the handle off similar to yours boosted...... except i went back the next day to find the handle thrown over the fence.

not a very nice feeling to come back and see you door wide open.

just lucky the car was still there, and nothing was missing.

lucky aswell that i didnt catch the pricks mid act, otherwise i would be in yatla as we speak on multiple assault charges.

as a result, when once i would stop and think where i park the car....... i'm just not going to park it anymore.

hows the damage lookn pawley? did they **** your paint up bigtime too?

I dont park my car anymore...not even at the bay, just for the sake of it. Havin a nice expensive stereo thats taken me ages to save for, only to be stolen, will result in a very unimpressed car owner... not my piece of cake..

the door is pretty bad. was thinking it might even be a matter requiring a new door. all the metal surrounding the handle got torn. im yet to get to a crash repairer to see if i can avoid having to replace the door.

for those that are interested, the door handles on gtr's and gts's are the same!

so the speakers are working Timmmayy??? :P

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
