The owner was Tazered on the back of the neck and then shot in the leg.

Police say that this is being treated as a robbery according to the news report.

Man Tasered in face, neck, shot in leg

Attackers stole mobile phone, car

Police also hunting second shooter

A SYDNEY man has been shot in the leg and Tasered in the face and neck by a group of men in the car park of a hardware store, police said.

About 9.45pm (AEST) two men, aged 23 and 27, took a vehicle to the carpark of Bunnings Warehouse at Casula in Sydney's southwest, where they were to meet a party interested in buying the car.

"One of the men produced a shortened rifle and directed the two onto the ground where they were assaulted by the group," police said.

"During the incident, the 27-year-old was Tasered on the neck and face before being shot in the leg."

The three men stole a mobile phone from the victim and then left in a late model, dark blue Toyota Corolla.

The victim was taken to Liverpool Hospital where he is in a stable condition.

Meanwhile, in Queensland

Police are searching for a man following a shooting incident north of Brisbane.

Residents reported hearing two gunshots in their suburban street in Rothwell yesterday afternoon, and a man later presented himself to hospital with a gun shot wound.

Queensland police said the injured man was being questioned, along with four other people who were helping with inquiries.

"Police are searching for a male person allegedly involved in (the) shooting incident," a police spokesman said.

"Around 3.20pm (AEST) police were advised of shots being fired outside a residence in Cambridge Street".

The injured man, who was shot in the lower right leg, took himself to Redcliffe hospital.

The two got tazered and shot when the buyers realized it was NOT a GTR as advertised :D I can think of so many other things better to do at 9:45PM on a Thursday night than go to a Bunnings Carpark.

Sounds like what happened to my mate in Vic a while back, tazered and had his S15 stolen......

Its a joke that you can't even sell car car now days without this sort of shit.

When and if I decide to sell my line I will be at a location where I have access to a rifle.....

haha genius,

I'm not really looking forward to selling my two cars in a month or so now though, just have to make sure:

- you are in a public area with lots of witnesses

- ask the seller to come alone(had my last car checked out by 15 people at once, not good)

- ask the seller for proof of funds + ID before the test drive

- don't say your car is a GTR if it's really a GXE with GTR kit....you could get shot

When and if I decide to sell my line I will be at a location where I have access to a rifle.....

lol just threaten them to buy it lol

YOU BETTER BUY MY CAR MOTHERF**KER!!! *points gun at head of buyer*

I really don't understand why they put those comments in these "reports"... like I mean, that statement only limits down the potentials to a few hundred thousand people right? I used to LOL so hard when the Organized Asian Crime Squad in Sydney would release these reports with comments like "perpetrators were of Asian appearance" :)

    • 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...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
