Car found last week, finally got a chance to look at. Pillar clusters, rims, spoiler, front grill, number plates and even the SAU stickers were taken. Generic shit put on.

The prick who took it had the decency to leave a Van Halen cd in the cd player so thanks f**kwit. Hoping the engine isn't screwed but considering my rear bumper is now full of carbon shit, I won't hold my breath.

Pictures speak for themselves:

+1, and if its sitting in the back of a factory somewhere and someone spots it as they're passing through and remembers the car from facebook / forums... A complete car which doesn't match the stolen car description won't raise eyebrows, but a half stripped car with the distinguishing features missing does

Or...burn the thing / drive into lake and not worry about turning it back to stock?

Cause the whole effort to return to stock obviously worked in keeping it from being found!

To update the post, car was found around 4am near the CBD idling in the back streets when found by police.

After giving the car a once over, the prick who took it obviously thought he'd use it for a work car after he sold all the nicer bits. I found so much shit in the boot and back seat (work tools, paint, spare clothes - even a fkn porno). Who the hell steals a car and decides, "yep I'll keep this for myself" and drives it like he owns it?!?! Explains why the stock bits went on.

Car hasn't got any major damage on the body (except for missing bits) comp is fine across all cylinders but the turbo has shat itself, Unfortunately I think they'll write it off . :(

U reckon they'd write it off based on that? If it's just the turbo and some trim bits gone, I would think at worst maybe 3-4k of repair work necessary.

Started motor also gone, 18" wheels + rubber = $2k so around $6k as quoted by the inspection center.

It pisses me off the amount of low life scum there is around knocking off vehicles I had a VL caiais stolen from crown about 10 years ago, luckly for me it was found the following day in cranbourne with only the sub and amp taken from it,

I was previously in the 4WD scene and the amount of Nissan Patrols that are getting knocked off in melb is unreal, every week one goes missing, if some prick ever tried to come to my place and knock off my pride and joy they would want to be quicker than a speeding bullet from a 30-06 rifle

      Blue Smoke from exhaust, RB25DE+T

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Stock R33 boost control, with the exhaust, and FMIC done, will boost creep. There is no tuning around it if it is the factory boost solenoid.   If it has an aftermarket electronic boost controller, the settings/mapping can be altered in it.   Oil could be anything as mentioned, however did it ever do it before you did the turbo swap? How much and how often did you drive the car before the swap?   I'm hinging on too much oil supply, or it's not draining properly.   To check, pull the air outlet off the turbo. Is it full of oil? Drop the exhaust at the turbo, does it appears to be oiled/coked? Now pull turbo and check the exhaust manifold, does it appears oiled and coked the same way?   Secondly, the PCV could even be stuffed / not functioning properly and will cause blowing of blue smoke.

      Like loud exhausts? You could be a psychopath.

      No "could" about it.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Almost any ECU would work, from a 30 yr old PowerFC to a new Motec/Autronic. But presumably you want new middle of the road ECU, meaning that you want a Haltech or a Link, most likely. As to which model though? I dunno. I don't keep track of what they have in their current ranges. You don't want a plug in though, because plug ins can start to cause you the same wiring issues that you have to chase up with your stock ECU/loom swaps when an engine transplant is involved. If you use a Haltech (and presumably a Link) you could put the base map for the engine in and drive it around and not even need to "tune" it. It will work just fine. I can't recommend a tuner without a location (and even then I can't recommend many, being as I never use any tuners except myself and my brother-in-law). And not many tuners are happy to remote tune. Maybe they'd be happier doing it for a basically stock setup that just needs to be demonstrated to be working properly. But even then, not being able to be with the car to see what the hell is going on and sort out the inevitable problems that will result from an engine conversion done by an amateur..... unlikely to be enthusiastic about the job. And if you think that just adding 2 wires for the boost sensor is difficult - you don't want to be trying to install and set up an aftermarket ECU. You're going to have to bite down hard on something with either approach.

      Wiring loom difference between A31 A/T RB20DET and R32 M/T RB20DET?

      wired everything up and confirmed that the red with white stripe is indeed the fuel pump pin on this harness.
