Hi there,

I was just wondering if I could ask for some help trying to track down my brothers skyline that was stolen from Tuggeranong (Homeworld) last night.

His car is a 1989 R31 Skyline - light blue.

It should have had P plates on it, although the plate holder at the back was broken, and there is a metal piece sticking out from behind the rego plate.

Rego Number: ygd 99m

The parceldeck (where his rear speakers were I'm told :/) was home made (not standard) wih 6 x 9 Clarion speakers in it.

There is a scratch on the front bumper towards the right corner, and the seat covers had "attitude" written across the back seat in silver writing, and the front covers have silver tribal style crosses on them.

If you know anything about this car, please call the police or email me at [email protected]

I've heard very good things abotu skyline owners, that they are very protective of other skylines and it would be great if anyone could help us out!

Thanks in adavnce!!

Erin

Sorry to hear about your brother's car Erin. Quite a few people on here have had their cars stolen or almost stolen this year, so i'm sure everyone will keep an eye out for it.

If you have a photo of it, post it up, it all helps.

I would suggest your brother gets as many mates together as he can, and goes out looking for it. I would start with the out of the way places these low-lifes tend to dump cars, like Pine Island, Point Hut, Kambah Pool on the southside, old federal highway on the north side etc.

A few of the cars previously stolen have also been spotted at the various ghetto flats in Griffith, Woden, Braddon, Civic etc so worth a look around there as well. Maybe a few other SAUers can suggest some more places to look.

Have you also posted this on the other Canberra car forums?

Good luck, hope he gets it back in one piece.

Cheers,

JD

Man, this is getting really out of hand... So many cars being stolen! :rofl:

We should start a vigilanty group and go around baiting theives (while we wait in nearby cars) then jump out when they break in to the bait car and bash their heads in with steel pipes!!

James (DriftGTS) can be our "enforcer" --- He has a medievil style mace!

P.S. I hope it turns up :D

Thanks for the replies guys,

I've let my brother know the places you suggested - he'll check it out with some mates.

He's asked if I could post his mobile number if anyone sees it - 0428 529 255 his name is David.

Unfortunately no photos, I would have loved to post some if I had any.

As for other Canberra car forums, I've looked for some, but I couldn't find any - any ideas??

Thanks again! You've been very helpful :D

Try Canberra Cruises?

I'll keep a look out... def try those flats, especially the manuka ones as mentioned... a stolen skyline was spotted there too

How late was he parked at Homeworld? Was it after all the shops were shut?

Hey Erin

sorry to hear about davids car ill keep an eye out for it for you. it helps i aready know you aswell so ill call you and david if i hear or see anything

here are 2 more sites you could try aswell:

syndicatemotorsports

liberty.asn.au

like late at night you mean?

cos there's a place across the road that has imports sometimes and it might have been theirs?

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
