Hey everyone,

My GTR R32 was stolen yesterday morning(14/4/09) at about 2.45am. Its silver with grey rims, Kakimoto exhaust and there were Wiseco Pistons and MTX Audio stickers on rear windscreen. Number plates are AW58AK. Anyone heard or seen anything about this car can you please contact me as I am offering an $8000 reward because of its sentimental value. They broke in using an old aerial which was left at the seen and brought there own fuses as I take mine out every night! Steering lock was on so they probably smashed the column to pieces and drove it away with a screwdriver! F**king bastards!

I saw a car very much like what you're describing yesterday at around 4:30pm driving north on the Princes Hwy Kirrawee.

1 person in the car with short, dark curly hair and big aviator style sunnies on. Can't be 100% on the plate, but the numbers / letters you mentioned are familiar ( I always read plates and try to figure out what they mean ). I'm sure that's no real help to you, but........... :P

Yep. I often read plates too. Stays in the short term memory for a couple of days.

Sound like Yellow/Black plates (if they ain't changed by now)?

Post some pics up mate..

A car that's worth $8000 in reward to get back...? Sounds like you should have taken some more steps to secure it! GPS/GSM tracking for example.

Sorry to hear though mate. All the best in getting it back.

They dont have to be the right fuses.. any high rated fuse will do!

At the end of the day, any semi-pro car thief will be able to figure out that if there's no immobiliser they can find, then the fuses must be missing/blown.. it's the first step in diagnosing why a car doesnt kick over!

Yeah.. it was booked in yesterday to get alarm.. funny how it went the day before! Ive posted an 8G reward because of the sentimental value. Mybrother who passed had given the car to me, thats why it means so much! Plus the 200 man hours ive spent on it!

I've seen a deadset ringer for this parked basically on the corner of Oscar St and Victoria Avenue in Chatswood (On your left if you're heading towards Westfield from the RTA).

Can't confirm the number plate, and It was only there in the morning when I walked to work, wasn't there in the afternoon.

If I see it again I'll confirm the number plate.

know how you feel mate; had my first GTR stolen and although it didn't have the family connection that yours has, it's still a kick in the guts when you go out to an empty space where the car should be. I had six yrs and hard earned $$s in that baby. hope the 'generous reward helps; ironic isn't it how we have to offer payment to get back what we already own?!.

theiving a/holes$.

the cops caught the guy that stole my car; he is now doing 'time' but he refused to reveal what he had done with the car. I went to court for sentencing and later met with some of his 'mates' and his girlfriend outside the court. I offered them $5k reward for info on where the car was but never heard form any of the 'scum'. also posted reward on this forum, no luck.

anyway, just thought I would pass on sympathy, I know where you are coming from. good luck.

Man that sucks. My car was broken into not long ago, fortunately they didnt get the car. Sounds like it is someone in your street who knows you take the fuses out.

FYI you only need to take the fuses out for about 2-3min to demobilize the car and what not, or its the battery terminal, one or the other, so a pro bringing fuses sounds suss to me. I think its someone you know or who lives near you.

Dude that sucks, sounds like a organised crime hit though if they wont offer up info about the car for that cash.

Think on the bright side, the scum bag that they caught gets to enjoy the showers for how long?

    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard
