Folks,

Just got a word from Matt (Borci88) that his red s2 R33 GTST was stolen from Genesis Box Hill not long ago.

Rego is WSK 462, pictures below.

If you see it, PM Borci88 on here or contact police.

EDIT:

With gold Weds Sports wheels, Turnflow FMIC, Hasemi Sport Exhaust.

UPDATE - from Matt's FB status.

My
cars been stolen tonight at 8.30 from Genesis Box Hill, I'll write a
proper status soon but keep an eye out for those who know what it looks
like, last seen in Hawthorn where the occupants assaulted someone.
Please keep an eye out.

Glad it has been recovered. Hopefully not too much damage.

Seems that sharing these theft bulletins on Facebook might be working.

Might make the scum think twice about stealing an import knowing that thousands of enthusiasts will be looking for them.

The key is to get it out there as fast as possible... and onto SAU Facebook and Drift Sales etc...

Spam spam spam, share share share

Get the image into people's minds before the drive home from work that night, etc

I was actually scared that people would be on Facebook aware but not out on the road while it's out there. Didn't matter, someone saw the poster the night it was stolen and then spotted it parked the next day. If it wasn't for 20+ people from SAU, my friends from high school days, Stolen Imports, Estblishd, Racepace, Aaron at IM and a few other facebook groups whos names escape me for spreading it like wildfire, I think they would have returned last night and burnt it out for sure, just like their last car.

A guy from I think Drift Sales lives in Deer Park, a couple of streets away and drove past it parked on the side of the road how you can see in the photo.

So I raced down there at midnight last night and waited till 3.30am for police to turn up, they didn't turn up but instead just sent a tow truck...

police dont fingerprint stolen cars

if they do i would be suprised

I know for a fact that they fingerprint some and others they don't, it's the luck of the draw. In saying that though, the car was involved in torching another car 20 minutes afterwards, and then later on in the night the occupants jumped out of the car and assaulted someone in Hawthorn, thus the dire need to get some good prints.

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
