Guys the reward for information leading to the retrieval of this vehicle is over $2,000....so if u see anything lookin like this car or any parts being sold that look like they may have come from this car please let us know.

Other things about the car..

*The grill is missing and u can see the blue oil cooler through it

*The passenger skirts is damaged and is held on partly by tape, so it flutters alot witht he wind

2g's could be yours.....................

I just spoke with Dave - I thought I'd found his Sil80 on Port Wakefield road - but it wasn't the one :( - VERY similar though.

He mentioned a few unique items from the car, in case anyone get offered parts for sale:

- AAR leather drivers seat (he's never seen another one before in Australia)

- dished Sparco steering wheel

- cutom intercooler piping with tons of small pieces welded together Jap drift style

- a Defi boost gauge

- 18" rear mags, 16" silver front mags.

Keep your eyes and ears open for this stuff (or hopefully the car) to turn up!!

No so to top this off Dave is left in debt

Andrew have you met him before or is this the first time?

Dave and Sean stay at my place last time they were down for an event

Dave is a nicest guy, the kinda thing you would wish nothing on!

nah mate, haven't met Dave, but he sounded like a cool guy on the phone .....

damn I hope they find the car in one piece - in fact I hope one of us spots it, follows it to a locale, call in some SAU backup, and go to work on the bloody thieves!

I am going to get one of the Viper paging alarms for sale on the trading section, since so many cars have gone missing around the place lately. I have a good alarm and immobilisers already, but it would be nice to thave a vibrating pager in your pocket for when you are at the shops or someone else's house etc ....

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • 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.
