hey all

im over being angry now, c'est la vie... to tell you the truth, it's been 12 hours now, i'm not sure if i want it back

two things i do want back are my autometer guages and hard-to-find clarion minidisk headunit. keep an eye out, but if do get the car back, it will be for sale very cheap... having had a previous car stolen, i don't think i'll be able to drive it comfortably again.

thanks all again

matt.

Considering it's insurred and you wanted to sell it, maybe someone up there (or down there) likes you. Blessing so to say.

Now if only someone would pay the excess.

Good luck with it all.

Doesn't sound like he wanted to sell it... sounds more like he doesn't want her now she's been tarnished by some scum who doesn't want to work for what they get, the type of scum that takes from those who worked hard to get there. The same scum Sinista was talking about recently in another thread.

Message to all... seriously think about the GPS tracking devices. They are affordable and quick to locate your car and hopefully catch the lazy scum red handed. I hope the scum tries to take any of mine... including the race car and gets caught.

I'm sorry for the torment you've been going through Matt, it isn't a good feeling. It isn't over yet because even the insurance company will probably treat you as if you did something wrong. I imagine you'll be interviewed more than once and feel like shit for something you didn't do /rant

:( Pisses me off every time it happens, as I've had a car stolen.

For your piece of mind I hope it is found with the nameless shameless brainless people. Also if they are caught, make sure ur insurance company rides them all the way to court.

I will keep an eye out as my station.

Sorry there Matt, Mis interpreted the Canberra cruisers thread. You purchased it there and the other guy was selling.

I agree, after theives steal your car, they normally do a cold start and rev the shit out of it, not good. I agree that it's better often to never see your car again. My last one got stolen but found dumped. To much damage to repair but it was bad to see the gild I'd spent 10 years with in the aami yard all crooked.

Michelle when you have time, can you consider starting a thread with costs/advantages etc on this GPS tracking in Canberra as you obviously know more then most about it.

There are a few of us who are already using the GPS stuff and IMHO the more of these cesspit dwellers that realise that ACT SAUers are using them, the less likely they are to target us.

There are a few different types available, some use a service to track and others can be as simple as a pre-paid sim card for approx $20 per year (not including device) - Not bad insurance is it?

You need to do your own research because I don't want to give away too much about the devices or services I am subscribing to... but there is something out there for every budget.

For starters, although closed now due to the fact that SAU admins didn't like the no close date, it did offer an affordable solution to everyone http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Re....html&st=80 and my opinion is that instead of closing it, they should have made it a sticky to raise awareness of what is out there.

The new GPS tracking systems ive seen (someone group buys them on SAU) cost less then the standard excess. It lets you pin point exactly where it is within 50 metres using Google earth, so if the fools park it in their garage you can catch them red handed. It also reports to you how fast and which direction it is going. The one I saw just required you to buy a prepaid sim for any carrier and put credit on it, as when you sms it, it send u a text message tell you all the info. It will also sms you if your alarm goes off as it has a built in input for your alarm (attaches to siren or something) Finally if you decide to leave the cops out of it, and you are tailing it with 2-3 carloads of enraged friends you can turn off the engine via your mobile.

So not only does it track your car, it tells you when the alarm goes off and lets you turn it off incase someone just jumped it from a carpark and you are near enough to stop the engine and run out and demonstrate newtons first law XD

The group buy has ended, but the guy to talk to is gtr_z provided he still is selling them.

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
