What sort of theif would want a rotary though? It's not like you can take parts out of the engine, it's hard to pass them off, panels, whatever of the car, there's not many rx-7s around, it seems so stupid if they were trying to make a quid out of it unless they plan on reselling it whole.

how many rx-7s are there in aus, not many, and how many are twin turbo, with 10 injectors, and a rebic, it's f**ked, nobody has this setup, nobody would do it this way, i hope they try and sell it on carsales or something

yeah forgot to mention, lost my cd player, some cds, a black aesthetics jumper, a cap, and a street directory. Not that i care about those things compared to the car...

I called up the Constable today, he's going to try and get the footage, hopefully we can get a face to this guy.

**** that I feel for ya man that's just ****ed up.

I hope ya get it back or atleast if you can't have it back the car kills the thief.

Just out of interest did anyone know you were going to park it there? I mean ... it DOES sound like they were really lucky or knew/heard it was a tough car.

Still.. either way it's ****ed up.

Good luck.

nah no one knew, it was spur of the moment out of boredom

The ONLY thing i can think of, is it was either, soemone who knew what they were doing and saw the bride seats, so they'd be up with the jap performance scene, or, some stupid punk who wanted a joyride (hopefully so they just left it somewhere)

but then you think, when they leave it somewhere, the windows smashed (or it looks like it's down) and another theif comes along, goes in a big cycle...

here's some more info:

It's a 2 seater, build 1989.

VIN/Chassis number, 6U90000FC3S203900

Engine number, E027020

odo reading, around 51000kms

tyres, 205/60R15, steel wheels, SNOW TYRES, BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAR (or something)

Bride Brix seats, 2 driver and passenger

Large visible exhaust,

It is a japanese import model Savanna with the smaller tailights, number plates do not fit without bending.

it also has 2 large and reasonably deep scratches down the left side.

insurance wasn't worth it, 3rd party fire and theft only pays out crap all, and comprehensive, when you look at both in the big picture:

premium+excess+loss of no claim bonus next time=the shit all payout they give you cause they won't insure it for what it's worth

We need to set up a van with 3 SAU members with baseball bats inside. We'll get some GTR owners to pack their cars near the van on this level late one night and we'll wait for thieves..  :)

lol that be worth watching/doing.

sorry mate, thats a nice fc. if you ever get it back, put some fat rims on it :)

Alright, I'll go through this once more.

I don't want any comments on the car, it doesn't matter anymore, I just want people to see what it looks like, and more importantly what the parts look like, and keep an eye out.

Especially look out for these parts as they are really quite rare, Greddy rebic injector controller, the car will not run without this, 12at 750cc injectors, Twin TD05-16G turbos, Pivot Turbo timer, Pivot digital rev meter and shift light, Twin bride brix adjustable seats, Now, honestly the car won't run almost at all if basically anything is tampered with, if the rebic settings are changed it won't run. So probably mostly keep a look out for the parts.

Here's the rebic, there are models 1-4, now the one i have, there is very few in australia if any.

The settings on this are WRONG, they need to be, first dial on full, second on 3k rpm, third on 0.1 boost, if anyone finds my car and calls the police, make sure the settings are on these.

The footage from the carpark came back, and the guys face was too blurry to see anything so basically we've got nothing from there, he got out by sitting on the tail of another car and leaving before the gate closed.

Anyone in the area of Liverpool and surrounding suburbs keep their eyes peeled. Especially for parts. There's only a pretty small market for these things.

Once again, here's all the information;

It's a 2 seater, build 1989. It has the rear pods.

VIN/Chassis number, 6U90000FC3S203900

Engine number, E027020

odo reading, around 51000kms

tyres, 205/60R15, steel wheels, SNOW TYRES, BRIDGESTONE BLIZZAR (or something)

Bride Brix seats, 2, driver and passenger

Large visible exhaust,

It is a japanese import model Savanna with the smaller tailights, number plates do not fit without bending.

it also has 2 large and reasonably deep scratches down the left side.

Other things inside the car where, 3 burned cds, a silver Sony CD player, a black Aesthetics jumper, a black cap, and a street directory of sydney, as well as a Billabong bag.

It's rego plates are ARX-73X.

It's blaze red, and still has standard steel wheels with snow tyres, has a aftermarket spoiler, and is a series 5 though the front bar looks a little different.

It was stolen from Liverpool westfield shopping centre on the top floor today 6th January 2005 at around quarter to 4pm. The drivers passenger side window was smashed and the ignition ripped out, as i found it on the ground.

Once again, here are my numbers:

Once again I don't care for comments on the car, just watch out for it.

I suppose you can't post pics of the guy at all?

Well, no i don't have the footage, and like i said it was blurry, you really can't see anything, the police said they couldn't use it so i doubt it'd be any help if i asked for it.

I am feeling your pain my cefiro was stolen on tuesday at 530am

stolen from my carport in glebe.

I hope you get your car back. best of luck. i have been driving around looking for mine but i dont like my chances.

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
