i live in Sandringham, but just saw this thread... don't see many skylines his way, so a dark blue S2 will def stand out. I'll keep my eyes open for ya for sure.

i've seen a previous thread where a 32 GTR in brissy was stolen, but it was some sweet ride, custom this and that... top car. Anyways, ppl who stole it were just cruising around in it, being hoons. And over a week or so, ppl kept seeing it and stupid driving. I can't remember what happened, i think it might have been used in a bank robbery but they f**ked up somehow, and abandoned their "getaway" car.

anyways, point is, if you're lucky, we'll get a few sightings here and there, and try and track 'em down..

oh, that's the other thing. SAU ppl who spotted the GTR were following the it, but apparently the driver caught on and got spooked for a few days. So try and stalk stealthily if you see it :)

Really sorry to hear about your ride mate....

That's really F$#@ed up and makes me mad....

Iam from the northen sub's so ill keep my eyes open as well...

I think people who own nice cars such as skylines really need to think about how they are going to protect it from low life sum bags..

I think satellite tracking is far more effective then simple car alarms...

I have a quick track satellite tracking system in my car and I would recommend it to any one...

Also the company who I work for has a similar device which we use for data logging and can also be tracked via satellite with software supplied with the device. Fitted to their trucks and has already proved it self to be very worth while investment...

We had a Ute stolen from our yard at the start of the year. They broke in on the weekend and stole the Ute and used it for ram raids. Come Monday morning we noticed it was missing. The first thing we did is notified the police and then we fired up our pc with the tacking software and found the car with in sec's... Told the cops where it was and BANG got them..They had parked the ute at their house in the garge with our plates still on it... Just show's how dumb some people really are...

Any way good luck with it mate i hope it turns up.....

roughly how much does that kind of satellite tracking system cost?

It certainly sounds like a worthwhile investment!

The Quick Track system by memory is around the $2000 mark installed, and then there is a $365 a year charge for the monitoring...

Also I must point out that in the event of your car being stolen you will get a phone call from the police or quick tack confirming that your car has been stolen and that police are on there way to intercept the vehicle. Also they can stop that car via satellite...

Also your insurance should be a lot cheaper having the system.

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
