Ignoring the plates - does this look like yours?

It was found burnt out in Logan today :(

Updated with extra photo. It does look like yours.... Ill find out where abouts exactly in Logan it was found.

Wholy shit - That is friggen shocking.

Even though that car looks exactly like yours, even the wheels :( Lets hope for the best. I can't believe all of that could be done over night.

One of the workers at Nut and Bolt factory has his 32 stolen last week. Same thing....burnt out and dumped at logan. Apparently a young guy driving around in a stolen purple metallic 33GTST is to blame, also I was told Police know who it is and are looking for him. Could be the same guy. He stole it from the Hyperdome.

They have his face on CCTV buying the petrol IN the car that was stolen right before the car was found burnt out. So he's f**ked if they get him. I would contact logan CIB to see if it's your car

They've either changed the front bar or it's a different car.

False. You can see the screw holes and change of paint shade from the mspec front lip that "was" on there.

Must note. Very sad for your loss mate. This is partially the reason i dont drive my car out so much anymore :(. Well that, popo and fuel.

Thanks a lot guys. Sorry, I wasn't around for a few days. Yes, that is the car, unfortunately. Had an alarm with an immobilizer but no one heard anything. I removed the mspec front lip, cuz it was a bit broken and i was going to fix it. Police came and tried to find some finger prints but they couldn't find any.

Thank you so much everyone, and special thanks to V8skylineMAN for the pictures and special effort to take care of the car.

Hey guys...

Friggen sucks having the car stolen, I know as mine got nicked last week.

Just wanted to let people know that apparently there has been a rise in skylines stolen lately. I just got off the phone with the police about it. So if you dont have secure parking I would really recomend getting a really good alarm

This is getting wayyy too close to home. And you, majority of these cars (and others) seem to be being stolen by late teens to early 20's, thrashed, then horribly mangled.

So sorry for your loss. Hope you had insurance and it is honored.

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
