Hey all,

As the topic title says, Nige from the FM104.7 breakfast crew bought himself a black Auto R32 Gtst some time ago with the intention of turning it into a drift car.

However his dream was cut down yesterday morning as the R32 was stolen while he was on air doing the show. :O

We all know how much people get attached to their Skylines (I know I am) so if anyone has any information or sees a black R32 Gtst with stock rims, Jax Quickfit and Federal Tyres stickers on it getting around Canberra or surrounds, make sure you contact myself and I will call Nige or contact the radio station immediatly.

P.S. If anyone sees a Black R32 Gtst for sale for cheap (or parts) please let myself or Nige know.

You can call the radio station on (02) 6242 1047

Pics to come...

I dont think it was taken from the radio station, he usually drives his Magna to work... I think it got taken from outside his house.

By the way the rego is - BEB 13G

Also if anyone knows of a cheap Manual R32 Gtst for sale please let me know. :O

Well... from Mick's post in the spotted thread, I realised I MAY have seen this car yesterday morning.

There were two males in the car. The driver had black hair about 6-7cm long which was either straight or slightly wavy, and stood up off his head (nearly like a fro, but they didn't look african american, looked more lebanese/similar - something with a fairer complexion). They both had a fairly dark tan or natural complexion, the passenger looked very similar, possibly shorter hair, or shaven head. Not much info ... hopefully helps though. Please note I hold no particular thoughts as to skin colour etc, just doing a 5h1tty job at describing what I saw... I hope these ppl are caught if it WAS indeed them.

I didn't catch any other detail as I was turning across the intersection and couldn't gawk while turning (plus, the car looked pretty 'plain-jain', so maybe I didn't pay too much attention, other than wondering if they'd seen me wave (twice)).

Great news!

This morning Nige called me to let me know that his Skyline has been recovered by ACT Police! :wub:

Apparently the idiot who stole it, took it to a wrecker (who had nothing to do with the theft) and asked him to strip the car so that he (the thief) could use the parts for his own R32 Gtst...

The wrecker thought that it was suspicious that someone would ask him to strip a perfectly good car and called the police, however he had already pulled nearly everything off or out of the car beforehand.

The thief has been aprehended and Nige will be reimbursed for any damages or loss.

Thanks to all who kept their ears to the ground and an eye out for this car, it is much appreciated! :(

Cheers :P

Mick

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
