Hi peoples, sorry to return to the pages of SAU with such bad info (I've had a rather busy 6 or so months fixing 2 cars), but my friends R34 was stolen from around Kilburn last night. It's a Black GT-T coupe & had 18 inch chrome 5 spoke wheels on the front & stock rims on the rear (no not for burnouts 18's were worn out & he's been a bit strapped for cash), mirror tinting on the front windows, DVD player with flip out screen & somewhat more unique a Towbar!

The vehicles rego is XOS-369. Anyone with any info on it please let the cops or us know.

Thanks

ah that sucks mate, gl with finding it. Did he have an alarm?

Just got off the phone to him, understandably a bit pissed.

Yeah it had a full alarm immobiliser fitted by the boys at GT Autosound. However he noticed when he got back home that there were scrape marks where it was parked, indicating that a tow truck was involved... It was parked right next to a unit, but no one heard anything, most likely as they never had to break in to steal it.

It's not looking good atm, most likely already hidden in a dodgy chop shop.

If there was ever a case for upgrading to GPS security this is it.

This info would be greatly appreciated, would be nice to catch one of these SOB's for change. If you could pass this info onto the Police tomorrow too my friend would be greatly appreciative.

UPDATE: Just spoke to him again tonight & he told me that the last time he saw it was about 10 - 10:30pm so the tow truck you saw SICKR33GTS-T unfortunantly couldn't have been the one we were after. Thanks anyway for taking notice & coming forward.

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
