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.

    • 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 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • 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
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • 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.
