Hey guys just a heads up that another skyline has been stolen this week. It was a r33 white coupe, rear spoiler removed with black tape over holes, rebuilt engine, fmic, in need of a paint job, but something that really set the car apart from the rest was all the work done to the interior from new seats, steering wheel, dash the lot, black/blue with Creme suede. It was taken from Keillor downs shopping centre

Rob, would that have been enough room for a tow truck to grab your car where it was parked?

seems like cars are being taken by this method lately

Wasn't mine bud and I'm not sure tbh but now that you mentioned that's a scary thought how ever not easy for a towy at those shops I don't think

Probably the villella brothers. They've been stealing a shit load of cars again in the area. They stole mine over a year ago and a couple more at that time. Stole a friend of a friend's s14 and a wrx on the same day. Car will pop up around the area they steal em and drive em around like dumb dream boats.

f**k all, they are useless dream boats. These guys have been stealing cars and motorbikes for god knows how long and nothing happens to them. I punch a guys mirror off his car after swerving at me trying to knock me off my motorbike and the cops are at my door within the hour and i'm in court a couple months later. This guy just gets out of jail for stealing cars, they see him driving my car, they end up getting his prints from my car and no court for him. I haven't heard anything back from the cops since they told me they got the guy and that was over a year ago giving this rat more time on the street to steal people's stuff.

Yeah but there are plenty of others who won't coz the cops won't do anything about it and they will just keep stealing.................... What's more frustrating is how they are so known to the cops in the area

If there's any truth to that story it will be a matter of time before they take the wrong persons car and end up six feet under. That's if the bodies are ever found.

Nothing surprises me in the northern/north western suburbs however;)

    • 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 
    • 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.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
