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.

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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
