Hey guys

Bad news, my brother's R32 GTST got stolen over the weekend in the city (melbs). I've got a sneaking feeling that it might surface on the stolen parts market, so i just wanted to give you guys a heads up and would really appreciate that if you suspect this is my brother's car to contact me via PM. There are security spots all over the internal body parts and in the engine bay/over the motor, so the parts will easily be identified.

The car was silver (not gunmetal grey) with all panels in ok condition, except the front bonnet had a towbar dent in it. Stock rims, with centre caps missing. Engine had about 82,000kms on it, and was in bloody good condition. The car was stock as a rock. Some other points that give it away: on the rear driver's side quarter panel there was paint freying. The driver's door didnt close too well aswell.

oh and...The car was insured, but that doesnt help, because we wont be getting anything near what it was worth.

I might upload pics of the car if i can find it. Keep your eyes out if you see something. I'm willing to put up a very very generous reward for any information that leads to the discovery of the individual(s) holding the car. All information will be 100% treated with confidence and privacy, and i promise i wont give your information out to the cops or anything if you dont want that. The reason why i'm putting up a big reward is that I'd hate for this to happen to anyone else, and as a genuine motor enthusiast, thieves like these people need to be dealt with.

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
