Hey guys..

As I came home from royal national park..as I was at the door to my house the cops rang and told me that my car was found in epping and to pick it up..!!

expecting the worst...me and my brother went to Epping...the car was in good condition.!!

wheels were still there!!

sterring wheel too!!

a bit of damage to the bonnet and a slightly cracked and scraped front bar...

interior...stereo and shit pulled out..!! and gear knob and some plastic shit around the gearstick..!!

other than that..all is fine!!

oh shit..the car would have copped a shit load of a thrashing!! they took out the panel filter...must have driven it like that!!

but they didnt drive it that far..max they drove it was a few hundred kms..!!

The car has been involved with a few illegal shit I think..the guys that stole the car had dropped the car there 2 weeks ago and has come back to use it once or twice...

well its a vision atm...I will talk to the guys at vision monday!!

thats the story..!! I am back!!

Schweeeet - That's great news. ( that the car was recovered) However it blows that they did some damage. I guess you're just happy to get the car back in (sort of) one piece.

Best news I've heard all week - (Except for ROOSTERS winning against Brisbane)

Cheers,

CONGRATS!! :)

i am heppy for you man, its good to see that the cops can return the cars every now and then!!

i was devastated when you told me it was stolen - i am happy now. :)

I'm sure the car has seen better days, but i am sure you are happy to have it back. :headbang:

well done man!!

Christian

whoa thats awesome news dude!

so happy to hear... you're one lucky bugger.

Hope the car is okay.. engine wise.. as i know how expensive this can be. I don't think it could be that bad... skyline engines are made to be thrashed :)

at least the car is still in one piece... guess they were nice thieves and lucky they didn't torch it... would've been a nasty sight

anyway welcome back mate... take good care of her.

I had a flashpoint alarm!!

Hey i jus realised today...the grill taht was found next to my car...is not my grill..was there another white R33 skyline stolen??

the grill had the red S badge...and was white too?

chances are that one is being used for the same reason and is sitting in another carpark?

they probably jus kept changing up the number plates!

Jords...

nah, my car wasn't stolen.. but the front grill was (maybe they were getting started?). thankfully i dun have to park in that hole anymore! Quite a few of my colleagues have had their cars busted into in there...and my last car (lancer) got badly dented in the loft carprk. i always see another white R33 there with a black wing too. hope he;s ok

but anyway, i parked behind ya at fox on friday! shoulda called you (but bet u were too bz with chicks!).

clubbing in maquarie shoppo? Sum knob tried to lift my 180 in maq shoppo carpark (b4 they built the new one next to Big W) managed to take off with the momo steering wheel.

UNSW skyline club? awwww bugger where were you guys when I used to go there? Used to hang out at the Quad n the roundhouse all the time :) Oh and the Comp Eng Undercroft Labs ;)

Glad you got your car back man, coppers in Epping are nice I reckon, I used to live there on Blaxland Rd

we were supposed to go clubbbin at Fox... but we weren't dressed up enuff (last m,inute thing)

:)

were you at city live that night?

anyway, some workmates told me that the vandals at macquarie are a bunch of local kids that live across Epping rd. -They target cars of ppl that work in or nearby, but just havn't been caught in the act. Dunno if they actually steal cars tho!

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
