Lock away your Skylines boys and girls..........

This afternoon a couple of low-lives tried to break into my GTR in broad daylight on a relatively busy street. They had pulled the weatherstrip off the passenger side door (yes, I know weatherstrips are gay) and were trying to get the door open when the alarm went off.

Luckily someone from work happened to be driving past at that moment and saw them, so they took off before any real damage was done.

The witness got a good look at them, and the car they left in. They also left an excellent set of dusty fingerprints on the inside top window glass, so hopefully they will be tracked down before too many more cars get done.

The old ute is looking good as a daily driver now.

If anyone has had a chance to look into the GPS/GSM options from the other thread, could you maybe PM me some info?

I feel very sorry for those who haven't been quite so lucky lately.........

Thats probably as close to the best outcome you could have after an attempted theft, apart from actually catching them..

I've got a GPS/GSM tracker in mine from the group buys off this forum. Using a Vodafone 365day prepaid card. I think the forum members username was gtr_z or something like that.

Just a quick update.

Spoke to the witness this morning, the culprits were two males, late teens - early twenties. One had bleached hair and was wearing a white tshirt and white trackpants, the other had a cap on and all dark clothing.

As soon as the alarm went off they bolted down the road about two blocks, and jumped in an older model dark blue sedan. It was too far away to see clearly, but she thinks it was a commodore or falcon.

AFP Forensic came out and dusted for prints, took some pics and a DNA swab this morning, but it will take some time to get the results (if any) back.

My commiserations to the poor bugger who wasn't so lucky yesterday......

I also know of a techie who can rig up an immobiliser to a sim card unit.... just dial away and disables vehicle on the spot

Looking into those at the moment, but two different installers have told me that the remote immobiliser function is illegal in OZ, probably due to the risk of causing an accident if you killed the engine if the vehicle is in heavy traffic at the time.

Will do some more research on that and post up the findings, although I realise that some people may be less concerned about the legailty of it vs securing their ride, which is fair enough.....

there are laws pertaining to anything connected to a workable telecommunications line, its a very tricky thing to get around, but if i had it i wouldnt be telling anyone.

the parts alone are less than $100, then just use prepaid or a really cheap plan...

DBL car audio does an alarm system has a sim etc.... also gps tracking, you can set perimiters eg. speed of 70kph and 2km from a set destination and you get notified if the boundaries are crossed. an emergency function (notifies 3 people (plus you) if something happens and sends them the location, tilt sensors, hidden microphone and the works. It is good, it is the alarm i will be getting soon.

The remote immobiliser is illegal, it is due to a) accidents and b) a lot of insurance companies wont cover you if it is stolen and hit the remote immobiliser and it kills the engine somewhere eg. middle of an intersection and they get wiped out.

that is why the EVO no longer has the remote immobiliser. (Think it was evo 9 that had it)

How are they starting the cars?

Oh it would be soooo worth every cent if the immobiliser caused them to get wiped out. Especially if James was there to 'help' them out of the car afterwards. GO JAMES!!!!

    • Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi 
    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell.
