Heading what way dude? North? South?

turning down marmion off norma..it was heading nth

that was quite a while ago...im not sure on the exact time we saw it. Im almost positive it was after 2pm.

Was he driving it just before 2pm? with a passenger?

Sorry to hear about it, but as i said im not much help - i just remember it crossing my path and thinking "nice looking 180" ..was driving my mates maloo and they crossed in front of me.

Just got back from the owners (dave) house.

The motor starts fine, we added some coolant and cranked it over, it has a exhaust leak (gasket) from the turbo. The boys are there now doing a oil and coolant flush and will find out the outcome later, it all sounds to be correct but wont know for sure.

The genuine M-Sport from bar (brand new) has been crunched, with about 5-7 cracks in it, nothing too bad quite fix-able. The drivers fender is mashed, that needs the be replaced.

They stole the Stereo (head unit, sub, amp, splits) and took off a couple of stickers/badge's off.

The car looks to be in pretty good condidtion, they didnt even do any burn outs! (no rubber over the rear of the bumber)

They didnt catch the theifs, but the cops have a pretty good idea who they are. (Male driver and female passenger in there eirly 20's)

The police said to the owner Dave "along the straights is was too quick, around the courners is the only place we could make up distance."

They also bought out the Police chopper to give chase as well.

Dave is very thankfull to everyone who helped him. :cheers:

It is a worrying trend that alot more cars are being stolen, it's been quiet prevelent over east and it seems to be starting here:( Time to improve car security and carry a big stick in the car;)

The Silvia guys are soon gonna look at a keypad immobilser group buy. basically (for those that dont know) its a 10 digit keypad where you have to put in a pin number to start the car. Good for when theives get your keys.

If SAUWA guys are interested maybe we can get some more buyers here.

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
