Dogs seem to be a good theft deterrent if they are good at telling when someone is near the house too. Our dog goes nuts whenever someone comes in the driveway or whenever theres someone unknown to him around.

I'm sad to say it but police don't seem to care these days much unless its going to get them money. We have had several times at work when the cops just don't turn up for 4 hours plus.

That said i hope you get your car back or insurance payout, or atleast get justice for this and the f*%^ers that did this get put in jail and raped by their cell mate

man, that is terrible. I really to feel for you. but seriously you parked a GTR on the street without any form of security. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I'm sure you had planned to put in an alarm/immobiliser but that should be the first thing you do, and if you can't get it straight away park it in a garage, take out the battery, take out the fuses and sleep with one eye open. I know I would.

Mate, I honestly hope you get it back.

haha even with alarm etc on my car i still cant sleep at night.. tiz not good!

but on the note of this stolen car./ it seems to happen alot around inner city!! very sad indeed!

keep your eyes open on ebay, etc for parts wheels etc going off your car.

good luck and i hope it turns up!!

two things will help you sleep soundly.

1. A lock up garage

2. full comprehensive insurance.

if you don't have both of those I can understand why the restless nights.

this thread just gave me the same sick in the stomach feeling when I saw my empty parking spot a month or so back.

I don't know about you guys but I am certain these are no random thefts.

I am extremely close to getting a printout of all the recent car thefts... which have all been sydney by the way, and try to speak to a detective at a cop shop.

As if this isn't just like it was a few years back now when they went and did raids and found shit loads of stolen cars and parts...

I've had enough...

I'm gonna ***ing do it.

I'm gonna try to get someone to take a serious look into all this instead of giving me the "don't expect to get it back in one piece" bullshit I was told when they came to see me 4 hours after I reported my loss.

That's horrible... I remember when my car arrived I was totally paranoid.. and I live in a good suburb in Melbourne. That totally sucks mate and I hope beyond hope that you can get ya car back! I hate reading about all these skylines being stolen ;).

Whoever stole it is very likely to ditch the rego plates.

How about posting the VIN number or any other relevant numbers? If people are offered an engine (or your car) for sale, they might search the net, or even this site, and match the numbers.

I know how I'd feel in your situation.

I agree - dogs are an awesome deterent. I dont live in a capital city though - when the locals try and steal a car around here that doesn't have the keys in the ignition it is to hard for them, so they just vandilise insted.

Another bonus of living out here "in the sticks", an r33 doesn't mean much to the average joe blow, they would perfer a HSV.

this happens every week or so..its sad to think that you cant even have a nice car, or house without having to spend thousands on security. :P

good luck..

yeep, my parents live out of town and the house is left unlocked most of the time. if someones gonna make the effort to come out and rack something, then there an idiot :D there a low life from the moment they decide to steal someone elses belongings. plus they have some good neighbors..

cops don't look or try when my skyline was stolen from the car dealer if it wasn't for the fisherman that found it and stayed with it till the dealer got there with a truck it wooda been taken again

Cops rocked up 3 hours after it was gone on the truck bak to the dealer

man i hate ppl that steal i sleep 4 m from my line so anyone try selling it there ****ed i have dogs that run around in my shed with it and my mums cars blocks it in :D

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • 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.
