One of our crews attended this scene. This is what happened:

The WRX rammed the GTR from behind, the GTR driver waited for someone to get out but thought it odd that no-one did for sometime. The GTR driver got out and LOCKED his car, then 4 armed guys with balaclavas got out, the GTR driver fled but the guys chased him, one of them got back in the WRX and run him down on the footpath, he was treated for minor injuries at the scene. The guys got the GTR keys in the end but couldnt start the GTR thank god cause of the GTR's alarm/immobiliser!!! The WRX WAS STOLEN, this was confirmed as the guy got the plates. Police on scene were saying its becoming very common, they are targetting there cars and following them for awhile first, get patterns and stuff. So think about it, I know im always watching the rear view mirror and never go the same way twice!!!!!!!

I work in the 'Gladesville area' and a dude that works in the wholesaler I go into everyday thought it was me! He knows i've got a GTR and he heard all about this on the radio, even went as far as ringing my boss to find out.

It's a bloody scary thing..

Jono

I heard it was on the corner of Epping Rd and Pittwater Rd, North Ryde.

I also heard on the radio that they had axes and baseball bats.

Talk about epidemic proportions - this sh!t is getting ridiculous.

Out of interest, what model GTR was it? I hope the dude makes a full recovery so he can identify the scum.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
