Last night someone broke into my car at work (east gardens/marubra). They smashed the ignition barrel and tried to start the car, the immobiliser stopped them so they took my 12 inch sub out of the boot. They didnt even try to take my gauges, turbo timer or headdeck. I could start the car with a screw driver but the steering wheel lock was on and i couldnt steer the car, got some mates to try and help me break it, no sucess. So i got it towed home. If anyone hears of a 12 Inch MTX sub going around cheap in abox let me know.

Also now that my ingition barrelf has been smashed and the steering colum is mangeled, will i have to buy a new colum and all that stuff?

Thanks for your help!

If i ever find the (unt ill kill them........

It was next to east gardens at British American Tobbacco in between 12:30pm - 8:30pm. The car didnt start because of the immobiliser, i got the car started when i finished work, but noticed the steering wheel was locked so i couldnt go anywhere.

Im stoked i still have the car, if it wasnt for the immobiliser i wouldnt have it.

That's bad news mate...

People always say that most immobilsers aren't worth anything as a *real* theif will get it if they really want it.

At least this goes to show that one will stop little punks that want to go for a joyride...

Sorry to hear about it but be happy you've still got your beast...

Also, I have a 12in mtx in a box sitting at home as we're selling my girlfriends Festiva. In new condition, hardly used and no marks or anything. Dunno what specs it is but seemed to pump alright in her car.

PM me if your interested.

Thanks

Just off the fone to SSS and JustJap both quoted me 200 -250 bucks for another steering colum and about 2 hours labour or so.

Does this sound right toy ou guys?

Cheers

You could just take the pin out and drive it home .

You will need the whole lock housing ( alloy ) a new barrell or reinstall the old barrell in the new ( used) Housing , (not an easy job ) and a new key . If they broke the steering shroud you need that as well .

I bought a new shroud ( r34 gtr ) from Nissan for $105 , a new immobiliser ring $220 , ( you dont have it in the 33 ) and a used ignition housing $75 but without a key , i used my old barrell .

They took my floor mats and damaged the A-pillar mould , new floor matts from Japan $500 and i still havent replaced the A-pillar mould .

It was pretty hard to see what i was doing in a dark carpark, couldnt see shit so instead of mucking around and trying to find the pin i called a towie. I dont have a 33 i have a 32. My barrel is catctus, the locking mechanism is gone, there is no sign of it just the barrel.

Saturday is repair day, then cruising time, i miss my car!

I had a similar sort of experience a coupla months back at Parramatta Westfield, I was only gone for 10 minutes max and they got to the barrel, almost all the way home with my car! when I got back, the bastards were sitting in their car looking at me. Only if it wasnt 4 of them and one of me at the time. I didnt even have an alarm cause I'd only owned it for a coupla weeks at the time. Yeah, so consider yourself lucky that u still have the beast.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
