Another r33 has been pinched. Taken from outside my mates house when he was at work.

The car was for sale, ad with pics -> http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details...28&__N=1246

Car was fitted with a steering lock, mongoose alarm and immobilizer. Professional job, they probably would have had to bring a spare steering wheel along.

The car was spotted by police down on the gold coast, they tried to pull it over but it sped off and it was deemed to dangerous to chase.

If you happen to spot it or find anything out, please just call the police and pass the info on to them.

Question is, did Chris Rogers wire the alarm for said stolen vehicle?

I hope you're just being funny :P

OP - I feel for your mate. Insurance is a good thing to have. I do and I've also resigned myself to the fact that somebody will steal my car one day so that sorta helps...

Shit i thought this had stopped for a while. My first thought was - did anyone take it or a test drive prior to it being stolen,I don't think it would take long to copy an alarm/imobilser button frequency.

why would I want a 33 ??? :P ( I already own a 31 and a 32.)

I think some of you now know why I use the unit I use. I doubt I did this car. I did see a circular of facebook about one going missing and I reposted it.

club lock - two seconds to remove. think about that. spare wheel - they would need to know that the wheel came off. now if that was listed as a feature in the advert then that prepared them.

if it surfaces tell me and I'll make sure it stays put next time.

just looked at it. thats not one of mine. dumb move posting EXACTLY what unit was on it though. knowing that I would be able to locate and remove it fairly quickly. the shopping list gives me more reason to take it. I know what all these bits fetch on ebay and I can make a bit of money before I torch the car.

sorry for the scare tatics but thats how I would think..

    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
