If it was an attempt to steal the car, why would they have sawed through every single wire loom in the steering column, and then not steal anything?

I don't think they were trying to steal it. It was probably the same people who fcuked with his car the last time.

OK Merli I don't wanna fu#k with you for fear of a shit stir attack!!! :D:D:D J/K

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA... I only screw with the little sh1ts that ask for it :D

I know you know your stuff with this kind of thing, so I'm actually interested in why you think it was a theft attempt?

I really have no idea, but I came to the conclusion of vandalism because they sliced through so many wires seemingly with no reason? Surely you wouldn't do that if you were trying to start the car up? Dunno?

the hardest part of hot wiring a car like this is getting past the steering lock, they obviously had no idea what to do then, and went on a hacking frenzy. assholes

I have a tracking system but am investing in a paging system soon.

bah...i wont be knowing the price until tommrow...

And Merli you think the same group? i doubt it, because why would they go that extreme if they wanted to damage me. i mean i still goto my gf's place and park they car there, beem 1month since other incident, nothing has happened. I mean if they were really pissed, they could of keyed my car? or mayb even stolen my mp3 deck? but as i mentioned they stole nothing else.

also my car is stock, very good condition, paint job looks nice, stock muffler, stock body kit,

interiror still in good condit, mayb they targeted the car because it looked stock

Chadstone is dodgy man! Even though its a rich area, there are gangs that patrol the car parks and breakins there are a common occurance pretty much every day.. particularly skylines from what i've heard.

Try and get security tapes of the area if they have any.

Also: a good way to prevent your car being such a target is parking it close to the stairs, exits, etc where everybody walks past frequently. No thief is probably going to be brazen enough to do it metres from so many people walking past.

also to mention when my lights were smashed, it was in st albans

and this break in was in chadstone. This is pretty much on the other side of Melbourne.

No way in the world they know where i live, since it would be a 1hr drive from st albans to my place, i wuld know any1 following me. Also my papers for my residents are at my uncles, since i used t live there 2yrs ago. so if they saw my licence, bill etc. the address they are lookin at is not where my car is at.

So your suggesting some1 that lives on other side of melb, somehow flooked it to follow me to chadstone? i find it impossible for it to be the same group

nope.. read above mate. I used to live 10mins from there.. and its a VERY common break-in area. Its just a random attack.. and the theives of course go for an import because they know they're more likely to get expensive items out of there.

    • 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 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
