For years we, like the mainland, have been targeted by the local bogans, who steal, thrash and then burn our cars. They often get away with it for years before going to jail due to lack of evidence... This is happening pretty much everyday without fail...

In the last 2 or so months, professional thieves have also been targeting us by stealing, stripping and burning the cars. This week we have lost a rb25 converted R32 and a mint R33 GTR, both stripped of all sellable parts and burnt, once the VIN was cut out. The week before a R32 GTR was also stolen stripped and burnt. Whats even more annoying is that they dump them in really cocky places and yet no one sees a thing..

Just wondering if you guys on the mainland could keep a lookout because there is no way known the parts are being sold here, nor is it locals stealing the parts (well not the local bogans anyhow, they arnt smart enough to know what bits to take) so it must be someone associated with a mainland connection....

Anyhow if anyone sees any GTR parts or a RB25 head/turbo setup, then give us a yell, SOMEONE MUST KNOW SOMETHING. And no doubt they are reading this. You will f**k it up one day and get caught...

Cheers Dan.

as a previous tassie lad, i know of the 'groups' of semi-bogan/car floggers,

pm me some more details, and i can make some calls... this WILL get sorted out

if you dig too deep though it may pay to be careful, as you will probably end up as cray bait

Yeah, It would be interesting to know who is doing it. I used to have to always leave my car parked outside, now it get parked inside, immobilised and the garage alarmed. whats happening to all the stufff that is getting nicked?

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
