Hi People. those of you new to skylines australia may not know the saga that has been going on with Steve Verrocchi.

the reason i bring this back up is that i have been trying to find a police officer that i can get in contact with. My local police here in mount gambier require the information off the detective in South Melton/Melbourne that has been dealing with the case. because even after years its been since all the trouble went down i am still to see even 1 cent or anything else. and even my car.

if anyone can help me with this information it will be very much appreciated.

here are pics of my stolen car to to jolt anyones memory and find out if they have seen it.

I'm sorry I've missed the first part of the actual story I guess.

Someone stole your car, they got caught?

but the cop that caught him can't be contacted?

Police in another state asked YOU to go find the other cops details?

how about a story for those of us who doesn't know the whole story?

Who are you waiting for money from?

Why can't you find the number for Police HQ in Victoria and ask for contact details of the cop station where this other cop was supposed to be working?

my problem is that ive been dealing with my local police. i was given the detectives name i while ago from people that had been ripped off by steve. one person from sydney and a few from narracort here is SA but i cant get in contact with these people to double check the name as detective as the VIC police have not heard of this steven Vanluen... i was hopping to find someone that has delt with him as there was 20 or so people ripped off by this Mr. "scumbag" verrocchi

i do know that the cops never phically found my car.... as it was runoured from them that steve verrochhi would of sold the remains as scrap metal....... thats why i also asked had anyone seen my car.... and if so could they contact me and/or police

sorry if people feel im wasting there time but i know in that from being in the same possition im in now, trying every avenue, i would be one of the first to put my hand out as a helping hand.

Thank you.

No mate,

You don't waste our time but chance of us being able to do something about it is really hard. Just get as much information up as possible, someone might know. Best of luck.

Fellas, if your car was stolen and you're left in the shadows and asked to follow up shit yourself... how would you feel.

Mate - sorry to hear this... I would ring the Victorian policy HQ, speak to some high-brass officer and make this big as this is injustice...

Good luck tell us how you go... I know a few good lawyers... PM me and I will hook you up...

thanks people. had a few pms for a few people so it has paid off.... getting closer...and getting more information regarding other people that have been done by this guy aswell. yeah the only problem with lawyers here in mt gambier is that they want to treat it as a civil crime(f*ck knows why...). If i can push the police more and treat it as a organise act of crime i mite....(very slim chance) get criminal compo.

Hi Dorothy, this is a very old topic (15 years) and a lot of these guys no longer frequent this site. You can try to message them individually in their profiles but thats about all you can do.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
