Hey guys, my newly bought, one day old "WHITE SKYLINE R34 GTT" was stolen last night from my underground car parking! :rofl:( I hardly even got to drive it coz I got it in on wed nite and it was gone by last nite...I cried lik a baby coz it waz ma 1st Skyline R34 and I had paid half, almost 20 grand from ma hard earned money! Wen to the cops this morning wit the video footage from the surveillance cameras from the buiilding with many suspicious things hapenin lik a car following ma stolen car which does not belong to anyone in the building wit its Rego plate clearly visible and also a guy who had a jacket pulled over his head hiding his face bbut at one point he actually looked up n u cud see his face clearly, but the COPS jus plained refused to even hav a look at it sayin that its not enough evidence and they need to see someone actually jackin ma car as evidence! That really annoyed me! anywayz... i hav described the car in detail below, although I'm sure the thieves must have changed most of it already!

1998 WHITE NISSAN SKYLINE R34 GTT REGO ARR45L ,19" Lenzo Wheels, big 3.5"Exhaust, tinted windows and its TipTronic transmission I have also attached a few pics that i have of the car!

So plzzzzzzzz plzzzzzzzzzz plzzzzzzzz guyz, if anyone finds anything abt it or spots a white R34 GTT plzzzzzz be kind and call the cops or me on 0433270136! I dunno but I'm completely devastated and heart broken by this real LOW pathetic act and GOD forbids something lik this wud eva happen to any of you guys!

You're damn right that's annoying. Frickin police !!

what area was this in?

man, i'd kill someone if my car got stolen

did you have insurance?

can i have some shots of the rims coz its a good distinguishing feature of the car as theres a few white gtt's on the road

edit: just a q.. how did he manage to get out of the carpark? is it a secured one? someone u know tipped him off?

it was stolen from ma car park at parramatta...yea it had a rhino 2 point immobiliser & also alarm system in it! now we all kno how good & trust worthy thez systems are anyway! :)

I do hav insurance but they wont pay anywher near wat i bought it for coz of the afta market mods & accessories...besides payin the insurance n the excesss itself is about 8 grand straight up! :)

I got a call tonite from some guy who refused to tell me his name...said he spotted ma car...i wen down that suburb immidiately wher he said it was parked n wen down every street, corners n lanes but didnt find anything! I dunno if this was somekinda practical joke...well jus wanna let him kno that it wasnt funny at all n he wud kno how it feels wen something lik this happens to him! plzzzzz guyz....if u serz do spot it, let me kno...plz don fool around, it really hurts bad!

yea its a secured car park but the main gate was broken jus 2 days bfore i got ma car in!!! n i do have a very strong feelin that someone fo sure did tip him off (maybe from the dealer's) coz therz no way anyone wud find out abt ma car in within 1 day!!!

any suggestions, advise...plz let me kno guys, trust me i can use all the help! Thanks guyz!

damn....honestly I cant even BEGIN to comprehend how your feeling right now....

I dont know how id feel if someone stole my car now (touch wood) but after ONE DAY of ownership.....honestly...cant comprehend.

having said that I hope you do find your car intact.....if not at least find the FU(KING PRICK/S WHO STOLE IT and make sure they can never drive a car ever again.

thanks man!!! honestly, if i find that SOB, trust me man, forget abt drivin a car, he wud neva walk on his feet again n will make sure he eats his food from a straw thru his nose!!! but i'm jus prayin to GOD that i find ma car somoe how!

I feel for ya man - good luck getting your car back, I have had mine 2.5 years and I would still be totally devastated if this happened to me, let alone 1 day.

It all sounds WAY TOO Dodgy to me. The security gate broken a day or 2 before, alarm, surveilance, immobiliser and how many people would actually know u even had the car? Not many!

hey thanks man!!!

yea if u put together everything it does sound very dodgy! cuz the guyz at da dealer had all ma details for abt 2 weeks bfore i got mine delivered and trust me not many ppl knew abt it anyway....ma frenz didnt even se the car! i really dunno wat to do man....the f*****G police wont even help in anyway! damn ma luck man

Sorry to hear mate - that really sucks. I know if it was me, I'd be pretty devestated as well. Here's hoping that somehow you get the car back in one piece.

On another note, I cannot comprehend why the police wouldn't at least look at the video footage. Even if it's not enough evidence to convict someone, surely it could be used in some sort of investigation. If they then somehow found the guy with the car, then obviously that would be enough to convict wouldn't it...

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.
