hi,

it's a sick feeling in the guts when you come back to where you parked and see an empty space. I had my GTR stolen last october and remember it well. the police caught the guy that stole mine but the car has never been found; hope you have better luck and the car is returned in reasonable nick.

with so many Skylines being stolen perhaps it's time to have a page dedicated [on this forum] to listing all cars stolen belonging to SAU members'. a simple format including; car description/distinguishing marks/features, where/when stolen etc, may help get some of the car thieving lowlife off the streets and have the cars returned to the rightful owners'. being members of the Skyline community we naturally notice new cars [or even extra cheap Skyline parts]in our areas and may even be able to recognise suspicious 'ownership' in certain cases. this way we could cast a pretty wide net and anyone who sees or hears about a 'questionable' car could quickly check out the "stolen list". I reckon it is time we became proactive as club members' and send a message to any car thief who targets a Skyline that he/she is taking a bigger risk than usual, of being caught.

just an idea, let's kick it around and see if is do-able!!.

regards

Sorry to hear bro!

I've been up here for nearly a year now and this is the 2nd case of a stolen car i have heard of up here. Must of been living in a dream world when i thought this town is a bit more sedate.

I'l most probably be out tonight and over the weekend, have stored your number on my phone and will keep my eyes and ears peeled... I hope for your sake the thief is stupid enough to be out!

Tried posting this on qldstreetscene.com ??

they broke into my room and took my keys from beside my bed, still havnt seen the car yet, they pushed the car out of my yard left the gates open and started it and drove off also lost my wallet and keys.

99% it would be:

1. Some people that know you really well (friends and/or foes)

2. Someone who bought parts from you recently and knew you had a GTR

    • @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.
