My cousin got his intercooler stolen in broad daylight.

it was a hybrid 600x300x75, the only thing that was hold the intercooler up was the support bracket at the bottom and the inlet/outlet hoses.

ie 4 bolts..

they also took his BOV, 2 bolts

bleed valve and pod filter..............

Not happy chappy, cant go fishing this weekend

must be pros cause its hard to pop the bonnet with a screwdriver.

When you think about it nobody would give them a second glance.

If I saw a couple guys with the bonnet up on an import with tools I would just think they were fixing something.

But they would still have the risk of the owner returning. Where was the car parked and where was your cousin?

Is it possible they knew he wasnt going to be coming back for a while? i.e at work?

he's from QLD, but just on a 3 month transfer to NSW. The took it while he was at work.

he parked it somewhere in parramatta, but i guess they sussed him out cause he had parked there for over two months now with no problems.

wasnt the cooler supported at the top?

if so the front bar would have to come off

Ehhh who cares bout that. Some f#ck has taken it now. C#%s who steal need to have their balls tied up to a short rope & pushed out of a tree. Although its pretty unlikely i hope some1 seen them & you can get a description out of anyone to report to police.

The police really need to set up Stings & why not start with Parramatta. I'd love to be a cop just for one day in a Sting waiting for some f#%@ to try & steal stuff from a planted hot car.    I'd have no problems using excessive force.

do you think excessive force would be catching the mother ****er and letting him go a round with my little baby pitty, or would that be going a litttle overboard

hey, most of the time if the cooler is supported from the top you dont have to remove the front bar, you can easily access the bolt and slip the cooler out the bottom of the bar (usually the bars are trimmed so easy to slip it out)

Cooler support at the top is just another two bolts. Well makes me want to spray my name on cooler just to make it worth less to potential theifs.

well they did take his BOV, POD, Bleed valve from the engine bay.

It sets him back $1000 and he's still paying it off like most of us do and a day looking around Syndney for parts.

well anyways he went and got all the parts today as it happened yesterday.

ohhh yeah, someone also stole his digital camera from this Pram while shopping in Liverpool Westfields also with his kids.

so he's got a string of bad luck at the moment.....

Lol, why not, what ever works :)

I'd love Australia to have a law like they have over in Egypt.

The Government says: "You steal; we cut off your finger. We catching you steeling again; we cut off your hand"

You raise the punishment enough I guarantee you'll get any message through.

What is this world coming to. :D

Indeed

I've just grabbed the latest Autosalon magazine & there’s great story, a near ‘possible’ death experience of criminals trying to steal this guys highly modified GTR. Its a top read, had my heart pumping *seeing it was actually real & not a movie* The event itself of course wasn’t great but the story was very well told.

F%@$%&%@#$

can we start a petition about that man, sounds good. I didn't think middle eastern countries had much going for them in that respect, but hey I like that law man.

Although it should go something to the tune of punishments in the order of offences

first time, prison instantly, no good behavior shite here

Second time, Beating from the person you stole from

Third time, Appendiges being cut off

That's not a bad idea actually. Maybe not on the front, but on the back, so it's easily identified. Perhaps ingrave your end tanks with you name and address? Perhaps everyone can put SAU and their username on their cooler so that if anyone hears or sees anything, they can let that person know.

Did the car have an alarm? I can't imagine parking my Skyline in a dodgy area if it didn't have an alarm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
