I would like to thank everyone who kept an eye out for the Stagea. It is greatly appreciated. Unfortunately for me the search is over as the car was found burnt to a pulp in Mawson Lakes at 7am this morning :(

That sucks man ;( Sorry to hear it.

Lowlife pricks...

oh no. Hope that someone got seriously burnt while trying to burn your pride and joy mate

Yeah it sucks big time! But there are some salvageable parts from it. The rims, tyres and brakes are fine. The motor didn't ignite so most of it is still ok. Apparently onlookers saw it pull up at Mawson Lakes at 6am yesterday morning, full to the brim with stolen goods. Then a truck came and they moved the loot from my car into the truck, torched it and took off. Hoping that bastards get caught!! Too bad nobody that saw it thought to take down a number plate for the truck.....

So now the process of stripping the car and selling what I can begins! I'll try to put some pics up so you can see the damage.

Just joined to provide further info for you. I get news updates from sapol on facebook. Yesterday they mentioned your burnt out car plus a truck being stolen from a construction site where your car was located. About an hour later, they had a pursuit with that truck on the gawler to two wells road heading into gawler.

Truck was abandoned in craigmore and sapol arrested one of the offenders with another one escaping.

Hopefully they can link them to you car and give them what they deserve.

Try contacting Corporal Security aswell as they patrol a majority of Mawson Lakes and may have seen something. Definitely pass any info onto SAPOL as it could help their case. According to the GRN paging website, MFS received the call about the car fire at 620am.

Stagea is getting pulled apart asap. So if anybody knows people who want any bits, I will be taking photos of what is salvageable.

Thanks guys.

Might be worth throwing up a thread in the 'Stagea Parts Classifieds' section http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/forum/145-stagea-parts-classifieds/

Sorry to hear dude. Sucks big time. :down:

When you're ready to part, there is something I'd like and its a little hard to explain the part. I'll tee up a time to look at the car when you have retreived it and are ready to part it, so I can point to what I'm after.

p.s. how bad are passenger side doors? Warped from the heat of fire?

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
