Got a call from the cops yesterday.looks like the car has been recovered. from what they said its not burned or crashed but im going to check the damage tonight.thanks for keep ing an eye out everyone. Once its fixed im gonna get insurance and move to a better area. Keep an eye on your rides, these c¥#@s are still out there

You are seriously farking lucky!

I'm sure there is some abuse there, but at least she's not toasted or bent. Get her fixed, get insurance, and get an alarm.

:)

Speaking of alarms ...

Ministry of Bass have a good selection of car alarms that they sell and install. Just upgraded my car security with them. They're more than happy to layby your goods. So if you want to get a bunch of audio gear and car alarm, you can pay it off and once you've paid enough for the alarm price, they'll happily fit the alarm while the rest of your audio install continues on layby. :)

Had a good chat with them on the weekend. A few horror stories about guys spending $4K on audio gear, and $0 for an alarm. And guess what? The car gets stolen. Alarms are cheap, protect yourself.

:blink:

In case anyone is still reading this topic the cops did a letter drop with a pack of stuff including a brochure with a guy taking his gf on a date on the back of bike (that really cheered me up)

but they did mention this:

Where apparently you can get an immobiliser fitted for around $200. I'm not sure of the quality, but its is a lot less than the $800 I have been quoted. Unfortunately I didn't have $800 the day I got my old removed (it was broken) hence why there was no security on my car.

Hope this helps!!

Edited by k speed

that seems very much like the ones strathfield used to do for $50 if you were a student (government used to pay the other $100), does the trick though

also good to hear you got you car back....mine is still out there somewhere lol

cheers Bengi

800 bucks for an immobiliser? Who quoted you that? I paid less for a full alarm system!, professionally installed.

    • 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!
