Hi People. those of you new to skylines australia may not know the saga that has been going on with Steve Verrocchi.

the reason i bring this back up is that i have been trying to find a police officer that i can get in contact with. My local police here in mount gambier require the information off the detective in South Melton/Melbourne that has been dealing with the case. because even after years its been since all the trouble went down i am still to see even 1 cent or anything else. and even my car.

if anyone can help me with this information it will be very much appreciated.

here are pics of my stolen car to to jolt anyones memory and find out if they have seen it.

I'm sorry I've missed the first part of the actual story I guess.

Someone stole your car, they got caught?

but the cop that caught him can't be contacted?

Police in another state asked YOU to go find the other cops details?

how about a story for those of us who doesn't know the whole story?

Who are you waiting for money from?

Why can't you find the number for Police HQ in Victoria and ask for contact details of the cop station where this other cop was supposed to be working?

my problem is that ive been dealing with my local police. i was given the detectives name i while ago from people that had been ripped off by steve. one person from sydney and a few from narracort here is SA but i cant get in contact with these people to double check the name as detective as the VIC police have not heard of this steven Vanluen... i was hopping to find someone that has delt with him as there was 20 or so people ripped off by this Mr. "scumbag" verrocchi

i do know that the cops never phically found my car.... as it was runoured from them that steve verrochhi would of sold the remains as scrap metal....... thats why i also asked had anyone seen my car.... and if so could they contact me and/or police

sorry if people feel im wasting there time but i know in that from being in the same possition im in now, trying every avenue, i would be one of the first to put my hand out as a helping hand.

Thank you.

No mate,

You don't waste our time but chance of us being able to do something about it is really hard. Just get as much information up as possible, someone might know. Best of luck.

Fellas, if your car was stolen and you're left in the shadows and asked to follow up shit yourself... how would you feel.

Mate - sorry to hear this... I would ring the Victorian policy HQ, speak to some high-brass officer and make this big as this is injustice...

Good luck tell us how you go... I know a few good lawyers... PM me and I will hook you up...

thanks people. had a few pms for a few people so it has paid off.... getting closer...and getting more information regarding other people that have been done by this guy aswell. yeah the only problem with lawyers here in mt gambier is that they want to treat it as a civil crime(f*ck knows why...). If i can push the police more and treat it as a organise act of crime i mite....(very slim chance) get criminal compo.

Hi Dorothy, this is a very old topic (15 years) and a lot of these guys no longer frequent this site. You can try to message them individually in their profiles but thats about all you can do.

    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
    • 9" wheels are a little too wide for a RWD 32. They can fit. People have put R33 GTR wheels on 32s for years and years. But they are a very tight squeeze. This has been known for about 30 years. As I said - there is no difference between a 17 and an 18 in terms of what will fit. The rolling diameter needs to stay about the same as stock - not very much larger. If you increase that, you will start to have problems. If you increae rolling diamater at the same time as yo increase width, you will have problems earlier. as 9" wheels are pushing the boundaries already, you would need to be careful with tyre choice. I would put 8.5s on the front of mine, but would expect problems with 9s.
    • post up screen shots of your injector tables
    • Diagnostic flow for a code 21 says check signal at the ECU pins, on a voltmeter of some kind it should read 0.1V at idle, 0.12V cranking, 0.15-0.25V at 2000 rpm. Check each coil such that +1, -3 is infinite or very high resistance, -3, +2 should do the same. (-1, +3), (+3, -2), (+1, -2), and (-1, +2) should all be somewhere between 0 ohms and high resistance. If you trace the path from the coil pin all the way back to the ECU in the diagram the resistance you measure at the coil vs connected to the harness should be pretty much the same.
