Hi guys

My R32 GTR was stolen from my folks place in Viewbank early this morning. If anyone has any information or has seen anything, please let me know or contact the Greensborough Police Station - 8432 0200

Was last heard at around 4AM on Lower Plenty Road.

Gunmetal grey, R33 GTR wheels, looks clean and standard but is heavily modified with a single T78 turbo, NUR block, Apexi brakes, HKS suspension.

Rego - TPI 554

***UPDATE***

Car was found in Epping, and was called in to Epping Police Monday morning. The police didn't call me, and didn't bother to go out to the car until Tuesday morning. By that time, it was gone :( So angry.

Pics were taken of the car on Lyndarum Drive, Epping. I don't have much faith that it will be found now..

Car had a tow rope attached.

Mate the cops are f**king useless / do not care. They wouldn't even look at the security footage at the carpark my girlfriend's car got stolen from.

Do 5km/h over the limit and they'll happily spend 15 minutes with you on the roadside. Disgraceful state the force is in.

thats bullshit.

im guessing car wasnt driveable? you couldnt go grab it back?

I had no idea it had been reported to the police until the next day..

I would've happily gone out there had the police notified me that it had been found.

Those pics were taken by the person who found it, but they didn't know who the car belonged to.

That's f**ked up man! Not fair at all... They put millions into all these stupid inspection stations on Saturday nights and pay penalty rates... Couldn't they pay some dickhead penalty rates to get your stolen car! If there is no income to be made, most police are the most useless people in the world!

Holy shit man, I literally drove past what I think was your skyline the other day in the same spot as this photo. I even stopped for a minute to have a look because it looked beautiful... So sorry to hear man, I've had the same thing happen to me recently as well. I live near this place, I'll keep an eye out and keep a note of your number plates... Hopefully you find it soon!

  • 2 weeks later...

*** UPDATE ***

One of the plates - TPI 554 - was spotted in Fitzroy on a Toyota Chaser, and the other plate was recently found at a house in Lalor. The police said the people at the house didn't know anything about a stolen car (no surprises there).

I've tried to keep an eye out as that's literally around the corner from me, a lot of skylines in the area...there's a burnt out supra in one of the paddocks that hasn't been built on yet as well...

Wonder which house in Lalor...ill see if any parts start to pop up

Sorry for the delay guys..

The cops haven't told me exactly where in Lalor the plates were found. It's apparently still part of the investigation.

*** Recent spotting of the plates this morning (well 1 plate, on the rear) - TPI 554 - on a silver 3 series BMW in Preston (Chifley Drive, heading towards Northland Shopping Centre). Cops are currently out there looking.

ok maybe I'm a bit stupid...

but why would you drive around with a stolen cars plates on your car.

Shit if you were going to steal fuel or do a drive by, pull up around the corner and grab non stolen plates off a random in a street.

these dicks just seem to have some kangaroos loose in the top paddock

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
