Hey guys,

I just got a call from my mate who just had his car stolen.

It was taken between 8pm to 10pm tonight from a gym in St Albans. Fitness Health 101 or something along those lines.

The car has registration XRA 254. It's a burgundy R32 GTSt with type m skirts and rear pods and a GTR front bar. The pod, side skirts and front bar are painted in satin black while the rest of the car is burgundy. Ah.. wheels are black AVS model 5s in 17x9 +19. Only the fronts were fitted with these wheels, rears were some silver stockies.

Car was fitted with basic mods, a no holes front mount intercooler, 3" custom exhaust, RB25 turbo and a Nardi Deep Corn steering wheel.

The car's been reported stolen, but it'll be awesome if people could keep an eye out for this car. If you spot it, call the police please.

I don't know if there's anything else I should mention. But below is a picture of the car.

I'd post more, but it's a mates car and I don't have any more.

I've seen this car getting around the St Albans area a bit. What a shame, it knows how to move.

Does your friend go to Vic Uni? I think I've seen it parked in the student carpark

I hope it's recovered unharmed. I'll let a couple of my Melbourne friends know.

Cheers

Thanks heaps. We're all into cars here and I know that when I go for a drive, where ever it's to, I take notice of other modified/imports on the road so any extra eyes I can turn with this thread will be awesome.

Chanz, I'm not sure whether the car's ever parked at VicUni, but my mate goes to Swinburne Hawthorn.

Any help is appreciated.

man whats goin on...ive heard about so many imports getting pinched from the western suburbs. Makes me worry as im tryign to sell my car and dont want people to just call to suss it out only to come back to steal it.

Yeah, the amount of stories I've heard lately of people's cars being stolen, broken into.. It's unbelievable.

My mate goes to Swinburne so you definitely would've seen it from time to time.

There haven't been any updates on the car since its been taken..

Thanks guys.

As above, the car's been found at a local park stripped of all the wheels including the Nardi deep corn and random bits and pieces. Indicators, gear boot, oil and radiator cap? Everything else seems good.

The thief obviously owns a 32 and needed those parts..

But thanks for keeping an eye out everyone. What goes around comes around in the end.

ya i guess...its just sad how people find it ammusing to rip people off....very low act....

Atleast the car was found in a decent condition....not burnt/written off...and glad its back to the right owner...

Yep, the easiest item to keep any eye out for would be the Nardi deep corn and the AVS Model 5 wheels. Specs are 17x9 +19, not many of them in those sizes at all. Originally white but painted black.

    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • 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.
