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.

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
