Not much crime in my area..... but then again there is scum every where you go. Some suburbs just less than others.

There are often reports of a crime gang "testing" the security of new buildings on st kilda road where they target anything of value in storage cages in the "secure" basement car parks. Lack of cameras, too long delays on auto closing access doors, and lack of care by residents leaving remotes in their cars means anyone can gain entry by tail gating through when someone enters the car park, steal a remote and booya you have ability to come and go..until the building admin cancel the remote (if they bother).

Problem is, doesn't matter where you live, the burbs will never be secure. All you need is some guy walking past and they'll rob. They don't plan for it, it's driven by impulse.

Whether or not they live in the area or just happen to be there is a minor factor.

Unfortunately, it's a "wrong place, wrong time" situation; unless it's like the OP's story and it happens at your house - then it's a "shit happens" situation.

Was at broady station one morning to go to uni. There was a VH parked in the bay closest to the station entrance. The keys were sitting neatly on the dash with the windows wound down.

11 hours later, I get back from Uni and the car is still there...

So the R31 trick may just work.

Not good about keying tho.. is it bad? did your decals get screwed?

      There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/

      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

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      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.
