Sorry to hear this mate. Will be keeping my eyes open for it. While its completely stoke, is there anything we could use to identify it. EG: SAU stickers, stratch on front bumper? Just anything that could be used to identify it from all the other silver S15's out there.

I did see a silver S15 on my lunch break, roughly 11:45am today driving down Elizabeth St in the city. Unfortunately I hadn't seen this thread yet so I didnt pay it any attention, could just be any other S15.

Hope you get it back mate.

Oh dude that sucks hard, i haven't seen it in greensy/eltham/monty area in ages, will keep an eye out, hope it was insured for a nice agreed value? On the + side it might end up saving you the job of selling the car? That's so wack

sorry guys, i dont know what condition the car is in now!

but picture a pewter s15 that rolls off the production line back in 2001.... and thats what mine looked like!

no scratches, no dints, no damage no stickers

when it was stolen it had a brand new red leaf air freshner hanging from the rearview mirror.

just been tire shined, wheels had small amounts of gutter rash, but nothing huge

and whole car was immaculately clean!

still no word from the cops, so either he still has it, or its been dumped and no one has found it!

Not exactly relevant but shows just how bad car theft is recently

Snippet From: http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2008/09/12/1220857778801.html

On September 11, 2008 a man was shot in the leg, tasered in the face and neck and robbed at a Bunnings car park in Sydney's south-west last night, police say.

The 27-year-old victim and a 23-year-old friend arranged to meet with a group of men interested in buying a car at the hardware store car park in Casula about 9.45pm.

Although wouldn't you think it's a bit suspicious to arrange a meet at 9:45PM? But anyway point of this is just don't trust anyone!

I have to agree...you can't trust nobody.

he would have sounded on the phone as really interested as the next person...but it still have to be ballsy to take off in the car. The good thing is that your not hurt.

I'll keep my eye out for the car (I doubt that they would be driving the car around with the custom plates but you never know how stupid people can be)

I hope you do find the car with no damage so you don't have to spend the money fixing it up.

if the guy is out to steal a car do you think he is going to hand you his correct licence?

of course not!!! the only thing if he was going to use his real licence, it might have been avoided as he would have gotten scared

but if he was planning to steal it, then he would have fake ID and plently of fake stuff to go

whats a fake ID for when he clearly wasnt worried about showing his face?

dude seriously just get in a car and go for a drive around broadmeadows, campbellfield, upfield, glenroy, roxburghpark.

Not exactly the same thing but yesterday my uncle who has a POS vp commodore which he drives to the train station to go to the city; he came back at night and started the car which made a huuuge roar sound.

He called the RACV and found out someone stole his cat converter; A f*kn cat converter for like 30bux jeeeezuz.

Anyways im still keeping an eye out for your car; saw a white gt spec and a black one last night but thats it.

lmfao, what a waste of an effort stealing a cat from a vp commo

Paul, how many people have access to produce a genuine looking fake Victorian Drivers License?

As Ant said no license no drive. What if the potential buyer was genuine, but crashed the car on the test drive, then turns around and states that he has no license, or does a runner from the accident and leaves you picking up the bill for both cars.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
