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.

    • Ok guys thank you very much. GCG highflow it is then 🙂 
    • forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k. 
    • neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.
    • Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock. 
    • Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
