I have had my turbos stolen from pacific pines on the gold coast

They are r33 N1 turbos with ported manifolds as well. I am offering a $200 dollar reward for these safe return. Please contact me on 0410665701 if you hear anything about them.

Im so disappointed as I was just about to put them onto my 30/26 for my 32

MM no insurance on these and I have been looking haven't found any for the price your talking about

Was enough for what I was wanting to do with my car. Since I am a single income with a house to pay off, wife a child to provide for , 700 may as well be 7000

I feel for you mate. My place broken into 2 months ago as well, took a bunch of car stuff that insurance wouldn't cover. Like you , pretty devastated about it, but what can you do. Will take a long time to get the coin for those things again

I rang my home insurer previously and listed all my valueable parts. They said if you have recipts and or photos of the listed items then that will be fine.

Tip always let you insurer know. They didn't charge me any extra.

Are you sure your contents insurance won't cover it?

Contents insurance will likely cover this.

Call your home and contents insurance provider and discuss it with them.

You will get covered for new replacement value, meaning you can buy a set of -9s with the money.

GL!

Dang dude, maybe should've said they were at home. While I know that's fraud, you'd have been fine :)

Yeah I should off

But my job requires me to have a squeaky clean record so I cant do that

Well My turbos turned up. I offered a reward and some one came through with the information for me.

I called the guy and work and told him he had till the end of today and I am going to the cops.

He freaked out and gave me back the turbos and he is also paying for the reward money that I had to shell out.

I told him he was lucky to retain ownership of his teeth as I have a big friend wishing to talk to him about his actions.

Chalk one up for the good guys

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
