Hey ppl,

My 1992 R32 Gts-t was stolen today from UNSW carpark on Barker St, ie the Street Maccas is on, somtime today after 9:30am but before 4:30pm.

It is/was white, gtr front bar, m spec skirts, spoiler, sunroof and Black wheels. Check out the attached pic.

Rego = ALC - 04R (black numbers on white)

If anyone sees it, or hears anything about it, please call the cops with any info.

Thanks guys. Keep your babies safe!

You really appreciate them once they go.

Sorry to hear, I always thought the car parks were secure with the parking police in ther 24 hours a day.

Are you sure they don't have a camera at the security booth at the entrance? Worth checking.

Did this happen on a weekday?

Pretty ****y for them to steal it in broad daylight at uni.

What sort of alarm did you have on it by the way?

thats pretty F*CKED!..... I used to go to UNSW and I heard of ppl getting their keys .... but not really stolen... I notice that since my first year at uni there were more and more hi-po jap cars and heaps of imports.... I even seen this new 7 series with P plates driving around.... so I'm sure UNSW will be targetted by thieves...

Contact the security office and see if they have any info...

Good luck..

Thanks for the support guys.

I actually work there, and know some of the security guards etc. Looks like no one saw anything. Although there is a thought that it may have been a "made to order" crime. Phoned the local constabulary and they said that the area was a hot spot at the moment, for reasons they couldnt say.

But yeah not nice either way. Thanks for your responses. Makes me feel better about the human race...a little anyways. I always wondered what it would feel like to lose my pride and joy... confirmation that it sucks!

Nah u guys rock. Look after your babies. :D

Hi all,

Yes it is very bad, these days you cant leave your car anywhere, the thing in josh's case is he had no alarm or immobiliser, and although it is easy to say in hindsight everyone should have one installed...if not turn your clublocks around so they cant get to the lock and maybe disconnect your ignition, the papers say they are using wrx's and sky's for ram raids atm so we all need to be extra careful, no where is safe... and also if your cars not insured dont leave it...lucky in this case it is but thats the only good point, but now I guess there is one less sky driver who has been relegated to driving a s**tbox...but oh well these ppl will get theirs in the end... this is also the reason why we all have trouble selling and insuring our cars because of scum like the ones who have taken josh's car, good luck bro I hope all works out well for you.

I guess the insurance company didn't require it.. but i think maybe its better it didn't have any alarms in this case cause if they cant steal it they would have just damaged it in all likely hood. Still the real question is why ppl feel the need to take others possesions rather than working for their something to call their own that they can be proud of. In the end khama will get these scum, maybe one day we will be able to leave our cars unlocked like the good old days....the way it should be.

    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
