Hey all,

just heard that a friend of mine's R33 was stolen over the weekend from the Belconnen Mall carpark. its maroon in color and pretty much standard (gee that narrow's it down doesn't it?!?!). if you happen to see it around please let the Belconnen police know about it. rego is AZS 58M (NSW). cheers....

here's a pic of it....

If they can have unmarked police cars in our community trying to provoke and catch street racers, why can't they set up stings on parked Skylines (well there are other cars they could use, but not nearly as desirable IMHO :P ). Have them fully monitored, speed limited (<10kmh) and immobilise them as soon as they take off – oh and don’t forget having it all on film :P

They can't say it’s because of the risk to life... most of these kids are too young to have a licence and are life threatening the second they get away with these cars (Google died stolen car and see how common it is).

Is anyone aware of any schemes currently in place to reduce auto theft in ACT?

Yeah here's a scheme that's just been announced in the last few days.....AFP will no longer chase cars suspected of being stolen.

hmm okay... I think I have it worked out... we can't speed in our own cars

What we need to do is steal each others cars and we can speed all night and they won't chase us :P

Im getting so paranoid now/ I park in a carpark where barely no one goes through during the middle of the day. Im contemplating just bussing it.. haha

haha wouldnt that be the worst thing you can do, i park in the busiest possible area closest to the entrance to the shops (not just because im lazy)

They do this in America seen it on them police video shows

If u have a car stolen u will see how piss poor the cops are , NSW cops this is i have not dealt with the AFP.

First time i had to ring the cops and ask them to charge the person they found driving my car , for insurance , u think i asked them to break the law or something

Second time the cops accused me of doing it , threatened to arrest me , than asked for me not to report my car stolen as it makes their reporting better the fewer stolen cars each year

There should also be a rego check system in place at fuel stations (no fuel means no drive). I work at one and asked my Area manager about it and he said they tried and there was complications. As far as I'm conserned 'complications' indicate it will cost them too much. Just letting everyone know, fuel stations can write off drive-offs under insurance and tax, so they dont actually lose money so its cheaper for them not to care. But bringing to the point, the kids who do steal them who are too young to even have a licence probably dont even have a cent on them, so the police wont bother with it as there is no money to be made, and they just release them so they can do it again. I'll keep an eye out for it. If only we could get blowfish poision for our steering wheels...

    • How many of you guys run the synchro os giken set and at what power? Do you then also use the billet plate?  How is it launching with it, any dragy times from 0-60? 60ft?
    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
