It was about 5am when i woke up with the family to the realisation that someone has been through our house :mellow:

what we found was

1. 106cm Plasma TV gone

2. Ipod and various little things :rant:

and thirdly my car was broken into and the deck was taken :rant:

the deck was a nifty little Alpine quite recent model :rant:

how can people do this???

Went to bed pretty late which would have given them a small time frame to do it went to bed 12am woke up 5am

Was in the Jandakot area within Glen Iris

oh and they cut a piece of wiring on the tv that is needed so it probably wont work

the 33's dash has been ripped to bits I'll see if i can post up some pics in abit once i find the digital camera (Crosses fingers)

:)

yeah man i know its not far from you your in the atwell area hey

I'll require the radio bracket

a radio

and the little tray that sits underneith the radio

they ripped at it and undid the bracket and ripped the rest out :mellow:

the smashed the face of the a/c by doing so

I rang Just Car and they said it would cost less to not go through them so im not

the door seal and stuff hasnt got damage to it but the alarm was on its an autowatch and i think they obviously knew a way around it :rant:

gggrrr I'll be getting pics soon aint touched anything in the car . one of them wasnt wearing shoes either

i got a big metal breaker bar for that :mellow: if they dare come back

thing is my younger brothers car was sitting next to mine but seeing its a run of the mill commodore i guess they coulda taken that instead but they didnt they also peeked in the garage window at the top to scope the other cars in the garage

an astra and torago respectively

my ipod can be connected to the stereo but they forgot the cable :rant: if they want it they can come back and get it but they will meet whatever im swinging at them first when they come back preferably a metal bar :rant:

big metal bar pics on there way too

no one else was hit i have a feeling they had planned it in advance seeing that the tv was taken only nothing else was touched they didnt touch any of the gaming consoles underneith the tv they took all the other things that we opportunistic my father has a feeling they have been here before and knew of the tv planned it out and tried taking the car at the same time

well forensics have just lifted some prints off of my cars boot and door hopefully seeing as i cleaned and waxed . polished the other day and i havent opened my boot since that one of those prints are theres :blush:

there telling me atm success , jandakot and yangebup atwell are currently being hit by the same group of people and they think they know who might have done it :D its looking good so far

we have had the tv for some time now about a year it was delivered tho

i drive my car now and it just feels different :) but i think its just me you know like I'm sitting there looking at it and thinking have they done anything else that i cannot see atm you know :down:

the Cops seemed to have plenty of different ideas on it but they believe the group are targeting high end performance vehicles by name only they might have been driving around at night and seen my car on the driveway and thought lets try take it etc etc

btw they were looking for the keys to my car cause the other keys to the other cars were all moved and they could have taken the other 3 cars in the driveway but they didnt which struck me as odd

Gee man thats not good news at all. So your car was in a locked garage when this happened? It must be a weird feeling knowing someone has been in your house while your sleeping and you didnt hear a thing!

Hopefully the cops do something worthwhile and find them rather than concentrating on taking us off the road!

Good luck. :P

thats terrible.

i am moving house soon and i dont really know the area very well. its a new housing estate and our neighbours around the streets near us are being broken into.

i have a garage to park in when i get there - but would you have any advice to deter this from happening...

eg keep keys under my pillow while i sleep? haha

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @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.
