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

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
