Hey guys,

Went missing in the Moonee Ponds area, in the early hours of 1/05/13.

Reward paid for information leading to an arrest.

If you see any of the Stag specific parts:

Dolphin body kit,

double hinge center console,

rB25Det bolted to a 4wd hicas box.

Will repost in the skyline forum as well.

Still had the baby seat in it and some toys.

Give me a heads up by:

PM or

Cheers,

Post up a pic; maybe with the numberplate.

A pic will jog memories much better than text.

Best of luck cobber, hope it turns up undamaged.

Wasnt expecting this... but we got it back!

Police were chasing him in association with credit card fraud apparently.

Drivers door lock and ignition barrel broken (can open/start with a teaspoon) The Hicas & ABS fuses were pulled, the handbrake stretched to the stop, the gearbox was really tight, now its pretty sloppy and he put 4,500 km on it in 3 weeks! Front and rear bars trashed, tore the airbox out, changed the BOV for a noisy one (left the stock one in the wheel well) stole the spare, changed the rear rims (now not matching, were stock nissan) and tore the center console out. The power steering pump is howling now too.

Baby seat gone, my kids toys and books all gone, seat covers gone, maccas in the passenger footwell, ashtray full (in 3 weeks!?)

But, it drives, and apart from the headlight its roadworthy. Probably needs brake pads and a clutch pretty soon.

Wasnt expecting a happy ending to this story, should have it cleaned up over the weekend if I can find the parts.

Cheers fellahs,

Mely

Good to hear you have it back, but make sure you haven't got back a shitbox. 4500km is plenty of time to wreck a car.

I'd be getting a trusted specialist to go right through it; to ensure you don't end up footing a bill for thrash related repairs down the track.

Complete fluid flush (diffs, gearbox, coolant, engine oil, brake/clutch fluid etc), and a full going over.

Hope they catch the f**ker.

From what I can glean, I suspect that your car was used in or groomed for a robbery/ram raid.

Have you got any speeding tix in the mail yet?

As Daleo and OS80RN alluded to, everything needs to be checked out. The gearbox condition indicates a thrashing.

Hey stagnuts,

Checked my recipts, he only put 1200k on it. I thought it went out with 87,200k on it, but it was 89,200k.

Yeah, look i got it with 75,000 on it from Japan. The car was like new. The gearbox makes no noise and its not popping out, its just not as tight as it was...

Yeah, they caught the guy, his mobile number is on the back window under "for sale" in paint pen... The detective is away, I will see what I can get back when she gets back to work. My insurance got sent to my old work address, I was 10 weeks uninsured, so that's all I can do to get cash back.

Will chase down the parts (Passenger side light, locks, change BOV) and fluids (Box, engine, brakes) and do a better job of the immobilizer to get it moving for the Mrs and my bub. Probably pull it off the road in a month and do the brake pads, handbrake cable, diffx2 oil and clutch. Nice to have would be matching rims, it has 3x different kinds of rims on it at the moment and i might put on a carton and get the boys around to do some lazy BBQ, beers and fiberglassing on the bars...

Keep you updated,

Mely

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.

      Could it really happen......

      I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.

      Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...

      Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
