Sorry to hear the car was stolen.

I just got an R33 on Saturday and was headed to Pac Fair today myself today. Have definitely re-thought that as I dont have an immobiliser yet. Be taking my other car now!

Will keep a look out for it.

wow three broken into the night before, you think three unsuccessful attempts would cause them to go for something else.

did it have a full tank of fuel? that always worries me about my car it's almost always full so they can get pretty far away before it will run out of juice.

nah it had just under an 1/8th of a tank so they wouldnt of gotten very far without putting fuel in it, especially with the way they would have been driving it, and we havnt heard of it being in any drive off's

it's a bit suss with the 3 break in's the night before. It's almost like they wanted a 32 for something (parts, re-birthing etc)

hi

sorry to hear the theft/attempted theft epidemic is still out here. my GTR went last Oct, still not recovered.

I have mentioned it on another forum with no results; but I reckon it's time to have a register of stolen Skylines here on the SAU QLD site. somewhere specific where owners of stolen veh can post the details of their car. that way, any of us who are 'suspicious' of a new car in our area, can quickly go to a specific site to check: and then, if necessary contact the owner. I know some are wrecked for parts but according to police many are 'rebirthed' to be driven: even if only a small percentage are identified and returned using information on this proposed forum, it would serve a purpose. the least of which would be to rid the streets [for a while] of some of the lowlife earning a living stealing Skylines.

any comments from Forum officials on this subject?.

regards

IMHO, it's incredibly unlikely that the cars will be in an identifiable condition (resprayed, different plates, different wheels etc) so I doubt that the idea would work. Also, as it stands, people can already search for info by checking for 'stolen' threads just like this one. if a quick search doesn't bring it up, chances are it's been changed enough that it'll be unrecognisable anyway.

Feel free to post the suggestion in the Ideas/Feedback and Bugs section though, the other guys might disagree with me :thumbsup:

Sorry guys ill just clear it up a bit, the car has NOT been found, what happened was, A car was taken to a Japaniese wrecker to get some work done, where several parts including, Rims, Exhaust, Gear nob, inter cooler, door cars (had a tear in them) and heaps more were on another car, so this car has been impounded by the police and waiting to hear more.

Thanks very much for all your help guys

Thanks for the update dude. I have a pic of your friends car on my sunvisor so i can do a quick reference everytime i see a R32 on the road. Been keeping an eye out. I can remove it now i guess.

Thats fantastic i appreciate your effort!! :laugh: , but yeah as said we haven't found the car yet but i doubt it would look anything like the picture anymore, if you see a stripped skyline out bush somewhere i would love to know about it.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
