Hey All,

I went to Box-hill shopping centre to do some shopping over the weekend, so naturally i parked in the box hill shopping centre car parking. I finished my shopping and returned to my car, to find that the petrol tank cover was open.

I walked over, and the first thing that came to my mouth was 'F*ckin Muthaf*cking C*nts'.... upon closer inspection my petrol cover had been jimmied open with some sort of instrument.......Why would one break into someones petrol cover though?

I started up my car and from full tank........mate i must of had about 1/4 left! Haha i actually found it quite pitiful and amusing and did have a bit of a laugh about it. I couldnt' believe it i'd just been SIPHONED!!!!!!

The damage to the petrol cover wasn't too bad, just a few paint chips on the inside of the petrol lid/cover so at least they did a good job and didnt' damage much.

F*ckin povo c*nts......i mean $1.40 a litre is bad but ppl are going around looting ppl's petrol tanks like its gold or something! I imagine with rising prices you will get all sorts of peasants siphoning petrol out of unsuspecting car owners!!!!!!!!

during the day as well......big deal i guess $40-50 in petrol and a few scratches/paint chips on the petrol cover......its the principle though! I've never 'stolen anyone elses petrol'.....( well......apart from the B.P in mill park!!! but that was ages ago....)

You guys might want to beware of peasants stealing petrol......you'll go shopping, come back and bang u've been drained for all ur worth! hehe.

How about this, my mate works at coles nightfill, has a crappy old camry, security came in about midnight saying they found 3 cars missing numberplates, one was my mate, just parked there they stole the number plates, so they called hte cops, dusted for prints etc, they found out later, all 3 plates were reported stealing petrol from a servo 10mins down the road.

So 3 cars, steal 3 lots of number plates together, then go fill up together and drive off with fake plates attached... hahaha

yeah true. its still low as f**k though. jesus petrol prices have gone down in the last few weeks anyways so i dunno what people are on about with ever increasing petrol, 3 weeks ago i was paying 1.48 ( 98 ron ), now im only paying 1.35, 13 cents a litre is still 13 cents a litre in the downwards direction.....

back when i was about 17 one of my mates was 18; the rest of us were all under 18 so he was the only one with a licence and his mums wheels. Anyhows one night no1 had any cash and we wanted to go out for a cruise; so we went down the street to the old datsun. It was missing its petrol cover lid so we had direct access to the petrol tank.

We didn't have an auto-siphoner so we used to just grab a 20 ltr jerry can and a 2 metre length of garden hose. We'd walk down there under the cover of night and there was always an argument before hand on who had to 'start the siphon' - which was done by sucking on the garden hose inserted into the petrol tank like a massive straw hehe. If you were lucky u'd get a mouthful of petrol, unlucky you might swallow a little bit and if ur really unlucky like my mate he got the siphon started, it went into his mouth, he pulled out the hose from his mouth and it got him all over the face and in the eyes lolllllll I remember him saying 'I CANT FKN SEE!!! I CANT FKN SEE' so my other mate holding a ciggie goes over to help him lol stupid twats.

karma eh.......Maybe its payback for my antics back when i was 17!

    • 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.  
    • 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.
