This time last week at sunshine tafe a r32 white four door was stolen around 1pm parked next to my 34. In the last week iv heard of numerous skylines being stolen around the western suburbs. In Caroline springs alone there were three major vehicle "car strip downs" one was a hav vz limited edition clubsport which was parked in the driver of the owners home and infront of numerous CCTV cameras. Three car loads, seven people car totally stripped and left on frame in 40 mins, how this was done with out waking the neighbor hood up who knows but it just gos to show what type of people are out there... So lock up, play it safe and take note of the suss.

the white r32 sedan was found thanks to all the guys spreading the pic around on facebook! someone spotted it dumped on the side of the road

Are u the owner? If so was it just used as a joy ride or were stuff missing what about all your tools?

40 mins to strip a car?

wouldnt mind seeing that footage

Hard to beleive I know, how ever this is just second hand info from the next door neighbor who is friends with this person who also has a rather rare vehicle in pristene condition. I guess it doesn't matter how it's done, how long it took them, or when it happened... Point is its happening and all we can do is keep an eye out n help eachother out

      Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?

      Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
