Last night my front personalised plate was stolen off my car from out front of my place at Alexandra Heads.

"GTS R33" - Black Plate with White Writing

If anyone has info about this please PM me. I have already reported it stolen to the police.

Any help would be appreciated.

I seen it parked up along side on the hill somewhere along coolum beach (sorry have no idea on areas in sunny coast). Hopefully you didnt park your car there mate, cuz it sticks right out.

I think its 350 fine or something like that for not showing the front plates, I cant remember exactly the price, but i know for sure its a illegal to drive without front plates.

It is always parked there and i have never had any problems until the past week. It has been egged twice. I have been told who it was but cant do anything as I dont have proof, this guy drives a ford and hates imports. Him and mates egged cars including a merc that reported them to police, but nothing was done. All I can do now is wait and hope for the best.

Hey man, i had my plates stolen a few years back, i know who did it, but thats besides the point. anyway i reported it to cops and had to fork out for another set of plates. what the police did was nothing, and just put a flag on my plates as "STOLEN" so for the next 3 years when driving round, id get pulled up for no reason coz the plates were flagged and harassed by the cops, after a while i got sick of it and blew up at the cops told them i wanted him to go back to the station and remove the flag from my plates, as it was bullshit. I havent been picked on since. i know your pain man, its a pain in the arse, the only thing you can do is pay for replacement plates and get some good secirty screws on there. but if they ripped them off, not alot is going to stop them taking them. being where u live man, i can bet it was some drunk wankers walking home from the clubs or something. thats the usuall story behind it. i can garauntee that they will either be up on somebodys wall as an ornament or disposed of down the road soemwhere in a bush or bin. il keep an ear out anyway for you, but unless police actually go into the place for some other reason and find your plates in there, then i dont like your chances of getting them back.

Cheers

Darren

yeah because a replacement plate will cost $1150

No but thats what 1 plate cost, which i have already paid for. Plus now I have to repay about $440 to have them remade.

$2295 - initial plate cost ($1150 each)

$440 - replacement cost

$2735 - total amount paid to have a pair of plates.

If something of yours you paid for was stolen you have lost that value of money since you have parted with that money and have nothing to show for it.

If you pay to get another its an extra expense.

I dont see any sense in your sarcasm.

Id just get a set of new personliased plates but not prestige mate.

Spend $440 or somethen and get "AHR33" OR "HAR33" OR "AHH33"

if you sound it out its just R33 which is pretty sweet. Im still saving :P

Whoever stole your plates is a complete loser who obviously has nothing better to do with there life. what a c***

Yep same as me, I still get pulled over in relation to my R34 that was stolen 4 years ago....it's super fun! The bizzare bit is I wasn't pulled over for a good 3 years, it's the past year where I'm getting nailed a lot.

    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
