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.

      R34 GTR Speedo Drive , sensor type ?

      By Butters · Posted

      Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
