Somone Broke Into My Car Last Night. Need Help Asap!


Recommended Posts

hey guys i after 2 weeks of owning my first skyline it got broken into last night. they broke in and ripped my cd player out and i'm pressuming they tried to steal my car because the ignition now doesn't turn. now i am just happy they didn't steal the car but now i can't even move it to a safer place. does anyone know who i can call in the western suburbs to fix the ignition like a mobile services. thanks guys for your help.

i just don't know why people have the tendency to keep stealing peoples pride and joy. i just hope they are taught ad lessons and i hope the thieves get brought to justice and get caught or get hit by a f**ken truck. this has opened my eyes that not even my area is safe after trusting it so much and not much happening and will now be extra careful about things like this and i encourage people to do the same. can't be too safe i guess.

hoppers crossing...i have been hearing alot about cars being broken into lately in hoppers but the thing is my court is really enclosed...no problems in my area and hardly ahve had any troubles with neighbours...so some bastard has been most likely watching me or someone in my neighbourhood....but all i can say is that no one is safe from these bastards unless u have a garage and a good alarm...

i had plenty of things that needed fixing on my car when i bought it. They can wait. Alarm with immobilizer 1st. spend cash fixing the things that need fixed and then your car gets stolen. damn that would hurt.

U have insurance right?

3rd party fire and theft. don't think it matters if i don't have an alarm or immobiliser unless i'm full comp? correct me if i'm wrong.

just payed for a new ignition barrel and putting it on for 220 from a mobile locksmith....god damn what a waste of money.

ah man...the casualties of owning a skyline ey...

farkn hell that sucks

i always get suss, as theres always p platers comeing in to my court. doing a u turn at the end.. and driving really slow past my house when im work on the skylines

lol

im anal... so i have in total 31 number plates with car types that ive written down when i see them do shifty shit

farkn god dammit

probably the best thing i got for my car was the quick release steering wheel...

if i have to park the car outside which is rarely i just take of the steering wheel

even though im worried about damage...to the outside...

also a tip for people who dont have a car alarm..

if your parking somewhere suss... pop ur bonnet and take out the ignition fuse

then theres no stealing your car...

hoppers crossing =(...my area is so good with these things like nothing ever happened...like not hoppers in general but the little area i live in because its so enclosed from the main roads and stuff but since i bought the skyline, i popped that cherry.

my bro has a s13 and its been in our drive way for yonks. no trouble at all? maybe cause his looks stock as a rock except for exhaust.

but i guess theres nothing i can do about it...there will always be assholes and the hard working people that love their cars will pay for it god damn it...sick world we live in..sorry about the emoness :cheers:

no matter how good you think your area is, dont trust anyone. personally i would never even think of leaving my ride in the street overnight!

little tip, wire up yourself, or get someone to do 4 you a kill switch and mount it right up under your dash. just put it in the 12v feed to your fuel pump so noone can drive off in your pride and joy. doesnt stop some ahole getting into your car but at least they cant drive off

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
