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.

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      By nouveau_poor · Posted

      Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA

      That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
