Our VN Berlina wagon was stolen on Monday from Curtin Uni. It is a white 5ltr with polished VS SS rims and bonnet tachos. The rego number is 8XT 235. There is a reward for the return of this car as it was not insured (hadn't owned it very long). There was a Telstar with plates on still left next to where the Commo was taken from. That was stolen 24 hours before ours. Any info would be really apprecialted and we are DESPERATE to get this car back. You can call me on 9592 2240 or Jeff on 0407 473 673. There will be no questians asked, we just want our car back with minimum damage.

There is a photo of it if any of you see it. It was going to have an alarm installed but the guy who was gonnu do it was in a accident so it was waiting for him to be better to do it.

We are DESPERATE for it back.

It's funny really, the VN is one of the most stolen commo's around. We had a '90 VN a few years back, stock standard, and if it wasn't for the alarm it would have been gone. They're a high risk vehicle cos it's so easy to break into!

(after seeing what they did to ours, I know exactly what to do to open the door!)

Why steal old bombs? you'd think they would take something worth while if their going to risk gaol.They traded a $500 Telstar in on the VN.

Dad, an $8000 car owned by us (not by the bank) at our ages is not what I would class as a bomb. Maybe you would at your age but for young people, I wouldn't.

Thanks Brett, Kym, Paul and Zanda. Still unfortunatly no word.

i have no insurance, never leaving the r31 @ uni again. my last car was broken into a while back there as well. i think it has something to do with the people across the road. we need to start a vigilante group catch these low life pricks

Nick, NEVER park it at Curtin. Even bombs are being nicked, e.g. the Telstar they kindly left me to get home in.

Dad, we paid $4000, been offered $8000. Money was spent on it to. To us the car was worth much much more. I am sorry, I love Skylines, but I would be in denial to admit I didn't love that wagon.

CC, I plan too.

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
