Hey guys,

Unluckily tonight at 11pm Brisbane time my car was stolen from my work (just out of my sight) at the Shell Service Station Corner of Logan and Nursery Road, Mt Gravatt.

It's a Black 1993 Series 1 R33 GTs-T with Series 2 Rear Wing (turbo model), Plates are Gold on Black, BEN 337. Dark Tint, and a Apexi RSM andSAFC-II on the dash (very visable with the apexi stands) with Momo Steering wheel and Nismo Gear Knob (black leather one), 17 Silver AVS 5 Spoke lightwieght rims.

Was last seen heading toward the M1 along Nursery Road. I believe they would head south towards the coast or into the city (Gaza Road exit northbound, and the on ramp just before Klumpp/Mains Road exit).

Yes it was insured, but that doesn't make this suck balls any less, good alarm (black wire mongoose, I'm pretty sure I armed it but could have bumped the controlled in my pocket... FUDGE KNOWS), however... I was running late for work and didn't put my steering wheel lock on (behind my drivers seat, the one freaking time I don't... I'm always so paranoid). Didn't hear the alarm, but I can't hear much from outside and I could have been out back getting stock when this took (the actual break in). I came out to serve a customer when I noticed a DICKHEAD spinning wheels in reverse in a black skyline... thought what a wanker! Then realised hey... those are my rims... THAT'S MY CAR. I ran outside after it.... not that I could do anything. All the while I was serving a customer (I think they waited till the customer walked in before taking off, he didn't see anybody, but it's dark there). As far as I know/hear/see he could have spent an hour inside the car getting around the alarm etc...).

They managed to stay out of sight of the cameras (ARGH!!) as they came in next to the carwash in the dark (!#@%@#). What's worse a member from here spoke to me under an hour before complimenting my car and telling me about his White R34... missed your name the other customer spoke to me).

Anyway pictures incoming. This f**king sucks balls... right infront of me. Customer in the store crapped himself when I shouted "holy %$$$ they are stealing my car" and just ran out the store. He was still there when I returned so I thanked him, asked if he saw anything (he didn't) and sent him on his way. Police turned up about an hour later and took my info... they pulled somebody over 10min after it happened on the same road I last saw it go down....

So if anybody sees my car please call the police ASAP and e-mail me at [email protected]

Cheers,

Ben

how much fuel did it have in the tank? cause they may have just flogged it till the juice stopped flowing.

however, if they took an hour to beat the alarm they may have more respect for it then just flog it

Everytime I see a topic of this nature, my heart sinks.

It's one of those, "It'll never happen to me" kind of thing's which you hope never does.

Fingers crossed you get some good news soon.

Yeah, having insurance is a blessing, however it doesn't lessen the blow of losing your pride and joy.

Best of luck.

I live around that area, will keep an eye out as well. There's nothing worse then one someone let alone breaks into your car, not to mention steal it, and thrash it in front of your eyes!! That's gotta hurt!!

Tank was 3/4 full... I filled up tuesday and I was only on my second night of work for the week (use 3/4 of a tank per week.. sigh). Was meant to move out of home in a couple of months... looks like that'll suffer a bit of a delay.

Thanks guys for the words, weirdest thing I've ever seen... thought... no way that isn't my car at first. Reviewed the video today and he almost hit a car on his way out the driveway too. So I'm glad he didn't as those people would be worse off also.

I'll keep you updated, but I have that awful feeling I'll never see it again. Anybody got a R32 GTR forsale? lol, though I've been thicking about a crotch rocket for a few months now (I know, dangerous!). So much for taking care of it to the best of my ability =)

Also this comes after last year when my girlfriends Magna was fire bombed in her family's front yard. I love cars.... but not having the best of luck it seems lol

coming from a person who has had is car stolen aswell i would just like to say that i know what you are going through. who were u insured with?

all i can say is thank christ they dont have your keys. you will prob find it somewhere. when my ce lancer got stolen they had broken into my house and took the keys from my bedroom while i was asleep. trust me that is scary as (people have keys to your house :S) car was never found.

i really do hope you get it back, but will make sure to keep an eye out

Phone call 20min ago from the police... it's been found... ohh how exciting. Burned out down the gold coast. Did excatly what I thought they would do, bastards.

Straight from my work down the M1 to the Gold Coast. (my work is just near the on ramp). So they prob scored me a ticket or 2 from speed cameras (thursday night afterall) which is a non-issue though since it was stolen.

Insurance is just cars, all should be fine... still out my excess and the claim against myself as I greatly doubt anybody will be caught (future insurance price rise... whoopie).

RIP Nissan R33 Skyline, so much effort to keep it a prime example (close to stock, good paint and excellent mechanics).

What to get next I guess is the question after this all clears, in the mean time got to find a way to work!

Thanks anyway guys, and remember, be safe guys, lock your car up. I'm thinking I might do some donating of club locks to the SAU car club for people to enter... I imagine if I didn't forget mine it would have made a massive difference.

Maybe my rims are still decent and I can nab them, know somebody who might want them hehe.

why the f**k do we even bother, when there is god dam lowlife scum everywhere that is just going to destroy something nice because they are jealous.

i cant explain the horrible things i would do to car theifs if i could catch em.

anyways mate im so so sorry to hear

Thanks lol, you should see my partner she is seeing blood. Between the 2 of us that's 3 cars (2 were hers) burnt out now... each with insurance and security devices (all at different places and completely unrelated).

From what my work says, it's a first for the company in Queensland, yay for being special!

Well I was going to take a holiday this upcoming week but decided to delay it... guess I get to anyway lol (not keen to go back to work heh).

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
