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)

wtf dan? where was it parked when it got taken? thats rubbish

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...

haven't got the "found torched" call yet - heres hoping...

red books only worth $2200 tops :nyaanyaa:

I'll take the ghetto way home and have a look around, that sucks

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:

    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan. 
    • The BES920 is like the Toyota Camrys of coffee machines. E61 group head is cool, however the time requirements for home use makes it less desirable. The Toyota Camry coffee machine runs twin boilers and also PID temp control, some say it produces coffees as good as an E61 group head machine.
    • And yes with a full tank it will hit limiter free revving or driving 6B6CDF6E-4094-426D-A9CB-6C553475FE36.mp4
