***************r33 Stolen *************


Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed that this is the second car within the last few weeks to have been stolen AFTER the person has broken into the house while people were there and stolen the keys and then the car?? I thought it was bad enough they came down our driveway at 7am on a Saturday let alone come into the house!!

yeh :S

Ive taken to taking my keys everywhere with me, even if my family are home and ive left the car there, still take my keys with me. Have also started parking the rest of the cars BEHIND mine, since i live in this same suburb. Pain in the ass at 4:30 every morning to move all the cars to let me out, but hell of alot safer.

I've seen this car around, looks hot.

Its distinct so will keep an eye out.

Can't believe how many R33's are stolen these days. Makes me scared. Although mine secretly will take a little more effort to get going.

But still, they must be fair easy to break into and hot wire! Although having said that I've had all my ignition wiring out when I was screwing around with fuel pumps, and although its all black, it is easy to work out which wire is doing what. And with imobilisers under there too, its even easier to pin point the ignition wiring.

HI ALL

For anyone who has had their vehicle stolen recently and not yet recovered, please email me a clear photo (preferably side shot and or 3/4 front shot) with rego number, contact details and where & when it was stolen from.

We have agents conducting static surveillance on the road everyday throughout Adelaide so I can pass pics and regos onto them.

They'll either make contact with me or you immediately upon sighting. No guarantees but what have you got to lose.

Thanks for the reassuring words :thumbsup: but it was posted up as soon as possible after we had found out!!!

AGAIN THANKS IS IN ORDER TO EVERYONE FOR BEING SO HELPFUL!!!

Who better to get on the case than fellow car enthusiats that would want the same thing done if the shoe was on the other foot.

There's probably enough info on this thread but it may be easier to get pics and details briefly on an email that I can easily forward onto the other agents.

sorry to hear.

pretty gay how people are breaking into homes now, while people are home and people not noticing, they must be like ghosts and the fact they found the room with the keys. pretty daring.

Good luck in finding it.

no shit still no word yet if its been this long i think the pricks that stole it are stripping it maybe on its way to interstate hope your brother has some luck man and gets it one peace

Yeah, I can confirm I've seen it in Melbourne.

Not in Springvale though - more so in Noble Park... that back bar and side skirts... I swear I've seen it.

If I were you, I would contact the Victorian Police and give them your VIN number... they'll put it on their register... so if they randomly pull people over with a similiar description, they can do a check... don't worry, in Springvale/Noble Park area - cops pull Skylines over all the time, You should be able to find it quick... good luck...

It was driving pass Springvale road towards the lights leading to Noble Park station... the driver was an Asian guy in his late 20's - looked like a street-wise kinda dude... I remember, as he pulled up to me and wanted to drag me - the Mrs. and I joked about how he would have no chance so I remember quite clearly... hope your brother gets his car back mate... ring the cops asap!!

Update. I am hoping that it is just the case of someone with the same kit as someone spotted it hear in adelaide on the weekend.???? so am unsure of its whereabouts. Still would be great for eyes to keep a look out and if seen call the police and follow it to where ever they are hiding it. :domokun:

    • @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.
