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

    • 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.
