Opps sorry,

no I only found what was left of the car, motor/gearbox. and a pile of parts.

The car has alarm, a hidden fuel pump switch, and battery isolated.

Also the car was in locked security yard with 4 infra read cameras,

I guess they didnt realise the cameras were there

Also, I do believe we took out an import specialist stealing gang.

well at least the cops finally caught some of the a$$holes, must have been a pretty serious mob to nab it with all that security.

Not really, doesnt come accross like that when we nab them.

The car was left un attended with all security at spare house back in brisbane, in a decent neighbourhood.

The property is in large and well away nfrom street, and if a thief has all the time in the world, sooner or later they will get it going.

However saying that I only drive that car twice a year, and only drove it the week prior to it getting stolen, so someone must have spotted me, and either followed or when searching the locality. The thieves were aware of the car history and build, somehow.

So, yes. it was targetted and not a random thing.

Ok, I've been out of town and was brief on some recent developement of this event.

Before anyone assume anything, I donot condone violence, or participate in anyway or form at all.

Apparently,

The "mechanic" who stripped the car, had petrol tossed in his face and was set alight.

He now reside in the PA burns unit and is unrecognisable.

I'm pretty sure this is what is "known" as a "screaming candle"

I will keep everyone update as thing progress, but I hope it all history by xmas.

I'm a strong believer of karma

I still remember you Belgarion, been a long time since we last met, how have you been?

Johnny, plenty happen on the night that I didnt tell Vicky, but some funny shit. Well to summarize it up, I've never seen a bunch of criminals who were so happy to see the police. They litterally, ran over to the paddy wagons and lock themselves inside.

And for the record, I didn't lay one finger on them

As for thieves I'm pretty sure they're just as prevalent everywhere. Its just you don't hear about it, that's all.

I'm still surprise that these fellas rolled up to my place, and think they were going to get away with it.

Saying that, I'm wondering what is happening or where is the thief who drove the car out of my yard?

Now I have a dilema of what to do whit a pile of parts and running gear.

Might go put it in some classic convertible, like a 356 speedster or a 190sl.

be interesting with around 600hp atw with one of those.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
