Another r33 has been pinched. Taken from outside my mates house when he was at work.

The car was for sale, ad with pics -> http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details...28&__N=1246

Car was fitted with a steering lock, mongoose alarm and immobilizer. Professional job, they probably would have had to bring a spare steering wheel along.

The car was spotted by police down on the gold coast, they tried to pull it over but it sped off and it was deemed to dangerous to chase.

If you happen to spot it or find anything out, please just call the police and pass the info on to them.

Question is, did Chris Rogers wire the alarm for said stolen vehicle?

I hope you're just being funny :P

OP - I feel for your mate. Insurance is a good thing to have. I do and I've also resigned myself to the fact that somebody will steal my car one day so that sorta helps...

Shit i thought this had stopped for a while. My first thought was - did anyone take it or a test drive prior to it being stolen,I don't think it would take long to copy an alarm/imobilser button frequency.

why would I want a 33 ??? :P ( I already own a 31 and a 32.)

I think some of you now know why I use the unit I use. I doubt I did this car. I did see a circular of facebook about one going missing and I reposted it.

club lock - two seconds to remove. think about that. spare wheel - they would need to know that the wheel came off. now if that was listed as a feature in the advert then that prepared them.

if it surfaces tell me and I'll make sure it stays put next time.

just looked at it. thats not one of mine. dumb move posting EXACTLY what unit was on it though. knowing that I would be able to locate and remove it fairly quickly. the shopping list gives me more reason to take it. I know what all these bits fetch on ebay and I can make a bit of money before I torch the car.

sorry for the scare tatics but thats how I would think..

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
