Ever had that sinking feeling in your stomach when you realise your missing something....?

I was walking out the door to go to work this morning and i was like where the farkk is my car? Way not cool!

Stolen from my driveway at a dead-end street my poor R33 GTS-T is all gone :D .

Worse thing is it was right under my nose and i didnt notice. I am friggin ticked i only had it for a month.

:P No i didnt have an alarm and i didnt have a kill switch LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ANYONE ELSE.

*^%$&^%#$&^#nts (sorry just venting) this is for those who think its fun to steal :)

Well if i dont get it back within 2 weeks in a repair-able condition im back in the market.

Any suggestions on what to get?

Sorry to hear mate!

its been said so many times, and some ignore it. But if you own a nice import car and dont want to be in this situation an alarm should be one of the first things we put on our cars.

There is too many scumbags out there who will steal a car!

:P No i didnt have an alarm and i didnt have a kill switch LET THIS BE A LESSON TO ANYONE ELSE.

What ever it is hopefully it will be protected with an alarm and or immobiliser.

Any suggestions on what to get?

if i woke up at night hearing my alarm going off i would run to the kitchen and grab the machete and hopefully scare the hell out of whoever set the damn thing off.

What if they have a bigger machete? Or used needles full of aids?

Sorry to hear about the stolen car! Hope you get it back in one piece!

I doubt they would use that car in a robbery....

1) it stands out so poo poo's will spot it easy

2) im sure there are easier cars to steal, whats so special about using a skyline in a robbery

3) Most likely going to a chop shop.

Best of luk getting it back, u must have been a target as well, being in an dead end street and all. Someone would have to have known the car was there so maybe if u have run into a few weirdo's recently maybe people at the petrol station (I say this cause i always get questions about my V35) or someone who has asked questions about ur car would be ur best bet.

Scum... just the other week someone almost managed to break into our house. Not sure what that they were after, but the fact that my car was out on the driveway was the cops' reasoning, they wanted to get the keys.

Hope you get it back in one piece mate.

      I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.

      I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head.
