Hey guys just a heads up that another skyline has been stolen this week. It was a r33 white coupe, rear spoiler removed with black tape over holes, rebuilt engine, fmic, in need of a paint job, but something that really set the car apart from the rest was all the work done to the interior from new seats, steering wheel, dash the lot, black/blue with Creme suede. It was taken from Keillor downs shopping centre

Rob, would that have been enough room for a tow truck to grab your car where it was parked?

seems like cars are being taken by this method lately

Wasn't mine bud and I'm not sure tbh but now that you mentioned that's a scary thought how ever not easy for a towy at those shops I don't think

Probably the villella brothers. They've been stealing a shit load of cars again in the area. They stole mine over a year ago and a couple more at that time. Stole a friend of a friend's s14 and a wrx on the same day. Car will pop up around the area they steal em and drive em around like dumb dream boats.

f**k all, they are useless dream boats. These guys have been stealing cars and motorbikes for god knows how long and nothing happens to them. I punch a guys mirror off his car after swerving at me trying to knock me off my motorbike and the cops are at my door within the hour and i'm in court a couple months later. This guy just gets out of jail for stealing cars, they see him driving my car, they end up getting his prints from my car and no court for him. I haven't heard anything back from the cops since they told me they got the guy and that was over a year ago giving this rat more time on the street to steal people's stuff.

Yeah but there are plenty of others who won't coz the cops won't do anything about it and they will just keep stealing.................... What's more frustrating is how they are so known to the cops in the area

If there's any truth to that story it will be a matter of time before they take the wrong persons car and end up six feet under. That's if the bodies are ever found.

Nothing surprises me in the northern/north western suburbs however;)

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
