Sorry to hear mate.

Broad daylight... Sigh...

Tip: Park with your steering wheel turned? (not straight)

So if they didn't have access to the wheel, it'd be really hard to get it on the flat bed.

thats not gonna stop the winch on a flat bed unfortunately

Not a random act, this was a planned job, just so brazen and risky!, the scums must of really wanted it.

My guess is that it's not too far away from were it was stolen, seeing that there was a tow truck involved its probably sitting in some local factory or workshop. (at the moment)

sucks man ill keep an eye out but it would be long gone now unfortunately

turning the wheels full lock does nothing

and its easier if the handbrake etc is on as you drag it onto the flat bed

the only thing that protects your car from being stolen unfortunately is full comp

no other protection will suffice, unless its a 200k lambo or something rare and spastic with satelite tracking

All you need to do it drive it to a shipping container and move that :(

As said, probably a local place in airport west, keilor or similar.

If you been parking it in the westie's carpark semi-often. It wont take the crooks long to work that out unfortunately, they patrol carparks etc.

I never go to the same places @ the same times if im driving the GTR. Too many dodgy f**ks around.

i wish i had a gps tracker in it now. unfortunately i work there and park there all the time but my roster changes all the time so its a bit suspicous for them to know i was working that day because i dont work many weekends.

Could of just been random maybe they were just driving around carparks to find something worth taking.

It sucks tho.. pricks.. if they don't find it what will be your next car?

dunno i havnt really thought about it. i dont even know how much its insured for all i know is its market value i think.

    • 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!
