that sucks mate...... but it is port adelaide?, a dump

and no alarm, just asking for it. parking on the street is like having a flag on it in neon, "steal me"!!

at least you got it back in fixable condition not smoking still.

so I take it your first item to buy is a ADR approved alarm ?

wish the police would actually put the car theft crims behind bars, not a slap on the hand off you go.

farking scum in this town who steal cars and trash them.

Yeah port adealide is pretty dodgey looking area. This is like a really new subdivision right next to Port Adelaide. The street is completely off the road and there is only one way in and out. So it's not like these losers just happened to be cruising by and saw my car. It's likely they specifically targeted this area because it's a fairly rich area, and of course my skyline was like the only cool car parked on the street (apart from a yellow R34).

I'm so pissed off that I didn't make it a challenge to steal. I mean it's so easy to immobilise your own car even if you don't have an immobilisor. You just pull out wires and fuses, take out the battery or pull off the steering wheel. All of which I will be doing the next time I park in a dodgey place.

Insurance rang and they are going to fix it up and sort it all out, they have been really good about it all. So at the end of the day it's just gonna cost me for the excess.

I guess I was lucky it wasn't a smoldering pile of metal and all of my belongings were still in the car, my toolbox and a $700 car dvd player was left intact.

Hope everyone can learn something from this. It's just unfortunate I didn't read about all the stolen skylines in this section before it actually happened to me.

Was this Skyline supposed to be in a wedding in 2 weeks time? I have been asked for my V35 to be a replacement car for a Skyline that was stolen from Newport last week.

Sorry to hear man. Hopefully the filthy crooks hurt themselves when they crashed it.

It was supposed to be in my brothers wedding in a month's time. Hopefully it's all fixed up in time... I have no idea how long crash repairs take.

takes 2 sec to unplug the ignitor in the engine bay and the fuel pump in the boot

then click the little latch in on the boot catch so you need a key to open the boot

presto unstealable or will atleast you'll wake up from the sound of them trying to start it with nothing happen

my fav was the fuel pump trick

also try and buy the car back from insurance comp if its written off as a repairable write off....then see if you can fix it or make it in to a project.....or just sell the parts individually and make some $$ that way

No it doesn't look too bad but turns out there is damage to the suspension and they would need to pull the engine out. So they're writing it off. Oh well I'll have to get a GTR just like Krishy suggested.

Buy a clublock and an alarm + kill switches and hook them all up as soon as you buy it, being a GTR and I'm guessing it'll be parked in or around that port Adelaide area you'll need a few things to stop them, don't know how, but theives are getting smarter, must be a 'how to' guide to stealing cars book, or 'stealing cars for dummies' book..

I can tell you that I wont be parking a skyline ever again in the port adealide area. Not without removing a wheel or something.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
