Hello All,

Had an unfortunate incident with my R32 GTR yesterday arvo, I finished work went to the car in the car park and some little pr@#ks had tried to steal it. Smashed my key barrell nearly ripping it off completely, scratching panels etc....shit I was mad !!! Cant believe the balls of these types, middle of the day, 20+ cars in the carpark, people in and out constantly. They must of been spooked (or amatuers)because they were very close to starting her. I could rant about this for a page or 2 but I wont put you through that :) (I have a pic of whats left of the barrell if anyone is interested)

I am sure many of you have bought alarms over the years, does anyone have any units that they would recomend.

I like the idea of a GSM unit, has anyone had any bad experiences with these ?

Cheers,

Scott.

i run a viper alarm system and it works a treat for me for what i need anyway. post some pics up of the damage mate.

Thanks Krishy,

Stupid phone giving me grief getting the photos off and I am on my way out to drown my sorrows.

I will be back tomorrow with pics..

Join up with the Skylines Aus SA car club for only a measely few bucks and you get massive discounts from Auto Perfection and Ministry Of Bass - both supply and fit Australian standard insurance approved alarm systems.

GT Autosound do AutoWatch alarms. Probably one of the best alarms you can get and they no their shit there to by the best hiding places etc. Wouldn't go anywhere else personally.

A few of my mates have had problems with some other big name alarms like Viper. Their warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on.

Thanks Import S13, typevu and Krishy..I am now building a list of where to start...cheers.

Here are a couple of pics of the damage, I will get a couple of the exterior damage when the wife comes home with the camera.

I can believe they made this much noise in a busy area...

Seconded Madaz

The way they left the area in a big hurry (somewhere between 2pm and 3pm) I reckon they were spooked.

I will be firing an email off Monday morning to all staff that may of been in the area and seen the car take off like a bat out of hell.

Their car was most likely stolen but will post any details I can get and someone may recognise the car, all I know so far is it was most likely White due to the paint scratch on the rear quarter and they were vertically challenged as they had to move my seat forward.

..I also had some personal items stolen from the centre console that would be very recognisable. I am not prepared to describe it on here but will reply to a PM.

no on site CCTV ?

Only in the depot, not in the staff or truck car park as yet, still in the quoting stage :down:

Checked the camera that points at the gate on the street but does not show the street at all unfortunately. (Depot gate is on oposite side of road)

aww, well at least you still have the car i know its a headache having to fix but imagine having to ring your insurance assuming you have it saying the car got stolen and didn't have an alarm

Yes you are right, I had an old alarm in there but it has been playing up for months, I got complacent thinking that work and home would be the safest places to be parked and didnt get a new one. I never leave the car unattended at shopping centres etc.

Lesson learnt !!

I had my car broken into at 3am today, was parked right next to a bedroom window with a sensor light pointing at the car. My damage isnt anywhere near as bad as yours as the alarm must of scared them from going any further than opening the door.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
