POSTING FOR A FRIEND, PM ME IF YOU NO OR SEE ANYTHING

Happened 8th of jan in the early morning. police say 5-6 people entered my house without waking up anyone, took laptops,. ipods, and other stuff like mums wedding rings and left with my car and my dads car (which we found undamaged in nerang)

When we woke which was around 5:30am we noticed the cars were gone. Mine needing fuel so we proceeded into nerang to look, and too our shock there was my car at the set of lights out the front of dan murphys. we moved in front of them to block them in but they hit full boost and rammed my mums car totalling it.

It then went north towards pac pines, we rung tow trucks, garbage trucks and taxis to all keep an eye out. one tow truck driver (a close friend) informed us that my car had been in a high speed pursuit and highway patrol cars could not catch it. it was last seen headed into pac pines.

The police say there is a $5000 reward for the person driving the car which is thought to be an 18yo so called skyline bandit......

if anyone sees him or my car call police straight away who knows it could be a $5000 phone call..

nah, there has been a couple of blokes getting around stealing a whole heap of them in the last month and a bit.. 'the skyline bandit'. I've lost count, but seems to be near 10 they've stolen. I don't think any(?) have had alarms at all, or immobolisers.

Will be good if they've actually caught the guy.

I've seen your car around skyline_chick (before it was stolen)

it wasnt my car it was my mates. they cought him the skyline bandit. he wont say where the car is but.

bit of a shame really. you can't have a decent car without it being targeted. probably the reason I'm on the coast working a lot more now...

I'm going to pac pines in the morn so if I see somehting odd I'll ring the local cops.

    • Oh yeah forgot to also mention need to also unplug the IACV as well. Thanks for the reminder @MBS206 Unplugging the TPS takes it out of closed loop so you're able to screw down the IACV without the ECU trying to add/subtract timing to maintain the idle (not sure PowerFC can even do this, but Nistune and the OEM definitely does)
    • For sale is my 1999 Nissan Skyline R34 GT-T, tuned to 234 kW / 313 hp. I've had the car for a few years as my daily driver. The car is original (as far as Skylines go), with only a few minor upgrades to enhance performance and driving experience, as typical for such a car of its age. Overall, it is in great condition with no body rust, thanks to its earlier import date. It features a top-notch security system (not literally, but it's great!) with remote start and still functional 4-wheel steering via HICAS. It comes with several performance and handling upgrades, including:     Hypergear 450HP Turbocharger running 17 PSI boost, installed mid-2021 by Jaustech     550cc injectors     Nistune ECU     Front-Mount Return-Flow Intercooler     X-Force Stainless Steel Exhaust     Upgraded engine mounts     Bottom end bearings replaced     BC Coilovers     Lenso DR1 rims     Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE003 TL 245/40R18 97W tires, fitted early 2023 The interior is mostly stock, with a few additions:     Viper Satellite Tracking System with remote start     Bluetooth Double-Din Touchscreen Head Unit     Steering wheel cover Cons:     A few paint imperfections here and there     Driver’s seat shows more wear than the others. It's not torn at all, but I've added a seat cover to protect its condition. I also have a CarVX Vehicle History report available for serious buyers, so you don’t need to purchase it yourself. Price: $26,000 ONO.
    • I've had two suzukis in the past have an extremely hard time turning over and not starting after sitting for a few weeks. Ended up the alternator would seize up causing the starter to force. Same issue both times.  Maybe they're sourcing their alternators from the same place...
    • Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.
    • On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.
