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.

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.

      spot the stagea

      By AnimalGarage · Posted

      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).

      ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.

      OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
