Hey guys,

I'm posting this up on behalf of Hoony, who is currently unable to access the internet.

Last night around 7:45 there were two R33s parked outside his house, one was a black one, the other was white. The drivers were of bigger build, and were wandering around his car which is parked outside the house. When they saw his sister looking through the window, they quickly ran to their cars and left.

Most people here know Andrew (Hoony)'s car, it's a gun metal grey R34 GTT skyline with a full URAS body kit, no spoiler, and black boot and bonnet. Also has 19in Starcorp rims. The car is located in the Mirrabooka area. If you know anything about this, or you were one of the guys, we would appreciate if you could PM me (NA_Goodness) so I can let Andrew know. This may be completely innocent, however the last thing we want is to come home to find his car broken into/missing.

Any information is much appreciated

yes pretty poor post, edit it asap even the mods should edit the bit about it being out of the state.

Say something like he has the registation numbers of the two cars and unless someone here says they were just admiring, we will report to cops...??

MOVE THE CAR

No, his sister, brother-in-law, mother, and father are all live there as well, there is always someone home.

That's a plus at least, but like Simon said, move the car - at least just make it look like it's been out and driven. They know where it is, what it is and likely how long it hasn't moved for.. I'd give is 2-3 nights before they're back.

Is it in the driveway? front lawn? on the street? I assume it's not in a garage if they were walking around it.. if it's possible to get it into a lockup garage, do so pronto!

I'd offer my garage, but its full unfortunately.

Mirrabooka isnt too bad. My mate's cars have been outside for over 2 years without a problem. His dad's truck gets targeted but the Commodore with decent sound system doesnt?

Actually I agree with you. Mirrabooka is dodgy

does he have insurance on the car?

he wants to sell it anyway lol

otherwise hire a storeage space then garage it there till he comes back

better then finding it missing/house getting broken into demanding for keys

why does he leave the dodgy car outside in a dodgy area where dodgy people can steal it while he is on holiday?? andrew if your reading this dont worry. im sure you dodgy car wont let anyone steal it... your kit might crack while they look at it and make them run off :)

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
