Was out and about all day doing things and no luck.. Had mates working at murry bridge ,Eliz and Sals but no luck .. Moving truck around adel and 4 mates drive semis 2 headed intersate and one picking up at the port and other in town and spoken to all no luck f*k f sake! I'm trying my guts out hey!

Good news!

Stagea has been found, stereo is stolen, ignition barrel destroyed, one broken tail light and a busted window.

Pretty lucky really, car still starts and drives.

I found out today that it didn't have insurance or alarm, it has insurance now though, And the alarm and kill switch is getting fitted next week.

Good thing is that he did find it in not too bad of a condition but seriously with all the imports being targeted atm why on earth would you not have and alarm/immobilizer or insurance. These days insurance and alarm take priority over rego i think. Lesson learned very quickly too I see

I know people don't like to hear it, but its usually the people without the protection/cover that dislike hearing it.

Imports are targets for thieves. People will spend $500-$2000 on mods in a heartbeat, but not $300-$500 on an alarm.

Glad to hear his Stagea was recovered under good circumstances. :thumbsup:

    • 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.
