Ok posting this up for my mate.

On the 9th of may APM radiators was broken into. Thieves went through the customers cars and stole various items.

One of the main items was a brand new garret gt35R with a 0.82 rear housing which they opened the bonnet of a soarer, unbolted and stole. We are getting the serial number currently before anyone asks. The car it was stolen off is Benny c's soarer for those of you who know him.

If anyone has any information or sees a gt35r for sale please contact apm radiators on 83846056 or PM me on here and I will pass all details on

Cheers

James

UPDATE:

Stole tools, stereo, afc, rsm, even the harnesses!

They spent a fair bit of time on the car as they undid the manifold aswell to the head! and took that and the wastegate, so if you hear of a 1jz turbo kit with ebay spec manifold, wastegate and gt35r also would like to know!

Theres over 6k worth of things were taken from the soarer alone.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Just out of curiousty, was any of these customer parts covered by the shops insurance, have heard previous cases of this happening and the customer had to wear the cost of it.

Yes, it's a WISE/GOOD/COMMONSENSE IDEA to ask any workshop you use, to check if it cover's a client's car for fire, damage or theft!

Every Workshop I use (incl Powerplay Imp, Unique Auto Sports, Just Jap, Steve's Autobarn, Bavarian Engineering, Faulconbridge Automotive) for Nissan, BMW or Honda COVERS MY CAR!!!!!!

It saves me from heartache

It saves me from an Excess

It ensures my next year's insurance premium doesn't go north

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
