Hi peoples, sorry to return to the pages of SAU with such bad info (I've had a rather busy 6 or so months fixing 2 cars), but my friends R34 was stolen from around Kilburn last night. It's a Black GT-T coupe & had 18 inch chrome 5 spoke wheels on the front & stock rims on the rear (no not for burnouts 18's were worn out & he's been a bit strapped for cash), mirror tinting on the front windows, DVD player with flip out screen & somewhat more unique a Towbar!

The vehicles rego is XOS-369. Anyone with any info on it please let the cops or us know.

Thanks

ah that sucks mate, gl with finding it. Did he have an alarm?

Just got off the phone to him, understandably a bit pissed.

Yeah it had a full alarm immobiliser fitted by the boys at GT Autosound. However he noticed when he got back home that there were scrape marks where it was parked, indicating that a tow truck was involved... It was parked right next to a unit, but no one heard anything, most likely as they never had to break in to steal it.

It's not looking good atm, most likely already hidden in a dodgy chop shop.

If there was ever a case for upgrading to GPS security this is it.

This info would be greatly appreciated, would be nice to catch one of these SOB's for change. If you could pass this info onto the Police tomorrow too my friend would be greatly appreciative.

UPDATE: Just spoke to him again tonight & he told me that the last time he saw it was about 10 - 10:30pm so the tow truck you saw SICKR33GTS-T unfortunantly couldn't have been the one we were after. Thanks anyway for taking notice & coming forward.

    • @GTSBoy i tried to jumper the wires and got the steering wheel light to come on which is right under the gear indication but that still doesnt come on.  Can it be an issue with my cluster?
    • Given that you have seen the dash indicator work briefly, then it would seem like you have a simple wiring problem. What happens when you simply jumper the wires on the "steering wheel switch"?
    • Yesterday's day in review: All the wiring to the lights up the front how I want it, is ran, terminated, and all to length. The only lighting up front I haven't finished is the side indicators, as I need to get to the partly cutup factory loom, and find the plugs for them. Interesting note, the side indicators use the exact same plug that's in the doors for something else that I don't remember what it is... So that plug better be careful...   Power steering solenoid, on the R33 is variable, and from memory PWM. The Ford's control from the docs I have so far, is it's just a on or off control. So I'm not sure it's what I want, and in any case, power steering running, but at its heaviest (solenoid off) is likely what I'll want anyway, so I'm not yet touching it at all. All the wiring I can complete so far, is done. There are 3 wires I need to make a plug for at the ECU, and these are just for the vehicle speed sensor, of which I need to get a T5 from an AU, so I can use its output that has the speed sensor on it. (My car doesn't have ABS, otherwise I'd set it up to use one of the ring gears on that). I need to buy new headlight globes and front parker globes, otherwise I could show photos of lights working. Current fuel lines in and out on this motor are "5/16". I'll order hardline, and some AN fittings for that, and I just need to 100% check fuel line size at the tank end, to get the ends for it. I'm also looking at a few options for the banjo bolts to AN fittings for the power steering rack. I'll pull the reservoir off the Barras PS pump. There's an off the shelf fitting for that pump for a -10 AN feed, and it'll use a 16mm to dash -6 an outlet to feed the rack. I'll be making my own power steering reservoir, I'm going through the thought process at the moment of how I'll run the baffles, and I need to research another idea for it too.
    • Two inlet runners changes the engines characteristics requiring less fuel to make torque at different points in the rev range. The smaller diameter inlet runners on the DET increases air flow speed, which improves atomisation of fuel, particularly in low load/idle for better burn, and in specific areas of the engine, (areas you would use when driving normally) increases the efficiency. All of those items change how efficient the engine is at different speeds. The changes on the neo help slightly to improve emissions where it matters. The overall improvements won't be the likes of going from an engine built in the 70s to an engine built in the 2000s, it's just a small step. But still leaves it the RB with the best chance of improvement.   As for your comment about the whole using a cat to not need to worry about those gases. Two things, no system is 100% perfect. It won't eliminate everything. So reduce the quantity you put into it, you still reduce the output. Two, make that system do less work, and it's likely to survive a little bit longer. Funnily enough to, one trick employed to get cats up to temp, AND to drastically reduce emissions before they get up to temp, is to reduce ignition timing.
    • Maybe I should have written that a bit better lol. I did come 8th last in English at school during the HSC, ironically spent 2 decades reading/writing specifications and contracts in IT 😂
