Just a few more details if you got to have a closer look at the car.

*3 Autogauge gauges in the triple cluster.

*Pioneer double Din head unit

*BC BR coilovers

*Middle console & gear surround has been painted dark silver

Anyone know what theives usually do with Skylines? Re-sell them or do they usually get parted out?

they are either looking for a joy ride expect to get it back thrashed and needing a rebuild or they take apart and sell. keep your eye out on ebay and othrt sites for parts unique to your car. In england they pinch them and put them on boats to eastetn europe. at leasts it not leaving Australia....good luck.

I dono if this will be guys just wanting a joy ride, the car cannot be seen from the street so they must have watched me & know the car was there. The cops did say lots of cars are being stolen at the moment. its messed up.

The trend is its people you know who might have told people they know ETC....,Happened to my Uncle and Autie all the time they will drive to the car scenes in Brighton ETC before the cops put a stop to it ! and a couple a scumbags will follow them home or get info of their mates and the next thing you know a week later the car has been pinched. Thats why avoid car meets in general or driving to hot spots where these people are.

Shes beautiful mate. I can see why someone would want.

Best of luck. This is definately something worth raging about!

Insured for theft? I have had several security guys tell me you are never going to stop somebody that sincerely wants your car; all you can do is slow them down with immobilisers etc and suprisingly the cheap wheel locks are a massive deterrant

Sincerely?

When caught, the robber shall be baseball-bat-punished sincerely!!!

Yes, many times, a Club has saved some grief I bet.

Yeah im raging big time! I am insured but as always its never enough to cover all the time & effort.

It had an immobilizer but they broke into my house & got the keys.

Kill switch will be fitted if i get it back or get a new one

Yip been looking on here & a few other sites. Not in a great hurry though coz I have my cheap run around that im using in the mean time.

Yeah Chris once I get a new one I will be coming to pay you a visit for sure. What do u guys normally charge to fit a kill switch?

So I got a call from Just car at mid day yesterday to ask how I would like to have the money paid to me & by lunch time today the funds were in my account.

Im very impressed with Just car. I didn't have to send them a single thing, no receipts or photos, nothing.

    • Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.
    • @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html
    • These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.
    • The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.
    • It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
