Wanted:- a person...

1) that thinks only of himself

2) who can't afford wheels

3) who's idle - not working

4) that doesn't respect other people's property

5) who's a manipulator/opportunist/thief

6) who you'd never trust with your last dollar

7) that's a male

8) who doesn't go to church

9) who's too young to be arthritic or poor of sight

10) who's going to be a corpse when blind_elk catches up with him

Now, can we narrow it down from 20,000 ? ? ? :D

Not at all, Terry. When I get hold of the pathetic excuse for a member of the human race:

1. Boil in oil

2. Tar and feather

3. Hang, draw and quarter.

4. Get nasty!

no offense, but this car was not stolen because someone wanted it for themself... it is mearly a mode of transport for some delinquent, so once they are finished with it, the police will find it with a busted door lock and a busted kaybarrel... in a few days i would imagine

^^^Nice gesture JH ! :(

I will drive down from the Blue Mtns (not to be confused with Sydenie) to Vic to witness this event!

And "nasty" means?

Any word yet in 24 hrs???

Watching forums for parts???

Yeh, thanks John. Just get them to call Werribee Police - 9742 9444. They will need to be patient, because it took me THREE attempts to get someone to even answer the phone, and they had to call me back because they had something else that needed to be done. You'd think in a station that big that they could fit more than 1 person in to answer calls!

Terry, still wondering myself what could be nastier than the first 3 options! Not sure how big the market is for used R30 bits. As Ruffels suggested, probably some little PoS too cheap to purchase a train / bus fare to get home.

Got free time Sunday morning if you want to organise a local search. Early start while the roads are quiet. A few cars could cover a decent area. You'd have to identify likely places to look (shopping centre car parks, industrial estates, back roads etc).

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • 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!
