What alarm?

It has an immobiliser. I guess they knew what they were doing. And on a hot night all my neighbours had their windows open in their homes... no-one heard a thing.

Damn. I pass Heidelberg regularly (MacLeod isn't that far). I'll keep an eye out. (Only problem is Silver R34 sedans are becoming way common out that direction - I know of 4 I see on a regular basis - All N/As)

But since yours is a GT-T might be a little easier to spot.

Do you remember anyone following you home lately? Certain cars driving up and down your street - who are not your neighbours? People walking past your house regularly?

I'm quite paraniod about it. If I suspect I'm being followed I pull over to a random street and lead them on, or if I know the area I lead them to a dead end street.

If they look agressive/tough drive to the nearest cop shop or petrol station - they have CCTV and can record details of the suspect following you.

Quick story for everyone:

I was followed by a guy in a VN calais once - I drove to random streets, even double backed - he was still following me. So I pulled into a dead end st (court), did a U-turn and stopped, he must have known the game was up and he sped off - never saw him again.

My conclusion: He must have been after my car (wanted to find where I live) or just some random guy being an idiot.

Its FOUND!!! Now being recovered by the Police! I'm very relieved.

The dash and centre console is all removed (including my $100 stereo unit LOL). I didnt think that climate control systems were worth enough to steal a car for. Its a real mess inside, but apart from the damage around the door lock, the rest seems ok (although, its dark).

Its being towed and off to CSI tomorrow for checking over. Thanks to you all for your well wishes.

I recall hearing about people stealing cars and removing parts such as the full interior, including the dash, which wouldn't damage any parts of the car. The insurance company would mark it a financial write off and send it to fowels or pickles. The person who stole the car in the first place would buy it back and replace all of the removed parts and sell it for a decent profit.

lucky you got it back =) - Was the immobiliser AUS standard? (dual circuit / black wiring etc?)

Yep, Aus standard to comply with the insurance policy.

Its gonna be parked in the driveway from now on. I'll just have to move my wife's car out to the street each night.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
