Shit...sorry it had to end like this buddy. At least you got something back, which is better than most stolen uninsured cases turn out. I'm no panel expert, but it looks like about 7-8k worth of damage to fix, assuming it's just that side of the car and the chassis isn't bent / the pillars are straight. Can't tell if the A pillar looks alright? Then there's the mechanical side of things I guess...they wouldn't have been too kind on the engine/driveline.

Seriously what goes through peoples heads doing shit like this, "Yeah I'm gonna steal someones nice car, get in a chase, smash the car and cop cars and end up in worse shit than if I sat at home playing with myself"

Edit: Did they steal that 33 as well?

Didn't ask, probably not. Cops said heaps of skylines have been getting pinched around here, but then again they said the guy they suspect steals skylines all the time, so who knows :|

Went for a drive and the shop was a milk bar

posted that on gf's account lol

Used your credit card?

Debit master card, passed the info to the cops already. Went in there and bought a drink, heaps of cameras there.

Doesn't seem to be a professional job to me...Pros wouldn't be driving the car around days after stealing it...They'd more than likely have it in a garage and stripped for parts...

Like I said, you'd easily get $3k for the rims alone...

we need to do a set up! set up someones car to get stolen and like 100 sau members hide in the bushes then run out of the bushes screaming with poles!

    • Not that I know from experience, but in theory you'd want your gate spring to be as close to target pressure as possible, so you'd go with the higher gate spring?
    • Before I commit to it as I already have the wastegate off the car, would you change it to the 9psi spring instead of the 12, or whack it back on now and try your suggestion?   Edit: Actually I might just swap the spring and see what the logs say after another few pulls, as we know it's still spiking without the Mac valve in the picture so I need more data without the Mac valve trying to combat the issue.
    • Sounds good Hmm suppose the main thing is, how much do you care about this car? The filler doesn't make for a very good water barrier lol. If there was a tiny little bit of rust forming now, that in 3 to 5 years time becomes obvious under the paint (starts to bubble up), would it bother you? 
    • I already have the ability to datalog the voltage... what I can't do is correlate it to what the gauge is showing when I'm looking at the data at a later date. Or something like this. Except getting the oil to 125C+ involves me going 200+kmh at the track so you can imagine this is a little tricky unless I do something like note what the voltage is when I am at the top of 5th gear so I have a point to reference on. Drove car today. O2 still reading richer because hopefully not a leak instead of massive restriction I've introduced. Car really doesn't sound like a LS. It's quite strange. Pulled a bit of fuel out up top. This does potentially explain why my spark plugs looked like the car was running pretty over-rich. If I was tuning it to a ~12.7 which in reality was far richer than that in the past. It will be handy to have the dyno WB to compare my WB to to compare notes that's for sure. At this point I'm happy to just sit in the passenger seat and tune the thing given I've got about 7 million hours on the platform lol.
    • Yeah I understand you have to pay for an updated map or subscription service or something. But I can't even find a current map for Australia. My map is dated 2017, but didn't this car version still sell in Australia until 2021?   Also, just as an aside, the navigation system warns you of traffic incidences ahead.....why would they include that on a map they knew is not receiving live information. I am forever going to be warned of an incident that probably existed for 30 minutes 8 years ago.
