Awesome work guys!!!!

Im so glad you have finally got your car back, i really hate theives!!

Oh also as mjfawke said it would be best if you at least fit an immobilisor to your vehicle to prevent it from happening again. At my work(Autobarn) you can get immobilisors installed for around $150 for a touch key immob. and about $200 for a transponder type.

Anyways, im so glad you got it back in one piece and nothing was stolen or damaged. :headspin:

No problems Daniel. I got home from the shops and sent you the sms after I got online and found your number. Told my GF and she was going on about how I should be a detective!!!! Able to spot a stolen car like that!!! I told her it wasn't that hard, I'd remembered the number plate!!!

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR LOOKING OUT FOR THE CAR.

I WAS VERY LUCKY THE PLATES ARE EASY TO REMEMBER THOU :wassup:

THINKING OF SELLING UP TO GET SOMETHING ELSE, CANT QUITE AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE DAD HAS (SHY32) BUT WILL DEFINATELY BE TURBO AGAIN.

THAKYOU VERY MUCH PHANTOM, I OWE YOU BIG TIME :P

IMOBILISER WILL DEFINATELY DO THAT IF I KEEP THE CAR. ITS JUST ONE OF THOSE CARS THAT I HATE SPENDING MONEY ON. :(

Glad she was found - good work guys :mad:

My brother had his car stolen during the fires 2?? years ago now. Everything he owned in it. $$ drum kit, $$ kingchrome tools, $$ power tools, snowboard etc. Cops pulled the guy up while he was driving the car but didn't put him away for this - and didn't inform my brother that the car had been found either. Thanks to the radio stations we got the car back!!

(Drum kit was later recovered 3rd hand when a friend discovered the location and tipped the cops off. At least they helped out in the end I guess :S)

I must admit the cops that turned up treated me in the 3rd person context and asked me the same questions over and over again. At first they thought the person that sent me the text was the person that stole the car and I assured them it was not.

Are well have bought a new car this week so the BEAST will be for sale soon.

Oh great now the fuzz think I'm the thieff???!!!!??? Sorry to tell them I was at work when I read about the car being stolen (in Lyneham - not Woden) and as cool as a decent condition little Charade Turbo is, I'm much happier with my 200SX, even if it is off the road waiting to get fixed!!!

    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
