Hi all,

My mates Red R31 was stolen last night

its a series 3 lowered on stogies.

Its turbo but has no BOV and runs low boost so you may only hear a slight turbo spooling whistle noise as it goes past.

If you have seen this car about please reply.

It was stolen from montrose, neer glenorchy.

Cheers Brad,

It was a sleeper, S3 Executive AUTO - RB30e+t, she's stock looking - $15 super cheap hub caps, bulging tyres (215's on 6"rim), recently resprayed but paint a bit flakey around doors etc, has a rotary style dump exhaust, car is fairly low. If you hear it, its got a really quiet exhaust note, really can only hear whoosh and spool, has a really quick soft flutter (small side mount cooler)

Yeah, In Montrose - a street off the main road, it was on the side of the road under a street light, with a steering lock on...

red books only worth $2200 tops :nyaanyaa:

Well To close this up.

The car was never found.

It was thought to have been sighted in new Norfolk, however red executives some how all look the same.

The police haven't heard anything at all about it.

And my insurance company Suck, however the claim has been made and closed.

R.I.P poor red Car :mellow:

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
