Well after have some thieves try on several occasions to steal my VL turbo a few years ago I can say that the ol 33 is very tightly tucked away.... They would have to be very very keen to try to take it.... But still you don't want to hear about these things soo close too home...

they pushed it 200m down the road

i have an alarm with door, boot bonnet, and glass brakeage sensors, also have an immoboliser, but they got past it some how.

They ripped out the ignition barrel to break the stearing lock so they could push it down the road.

It was insured with the RAC 3rd party fire and theft. They told me i have an escess of $1050 so i told em to get ****ed

the thing i had stolen where

panasonic 4x45 head unit

pioneer 220w 6x9

pioneer 4 channel amp

rockford fosgate 12" sub in sealed box

splitfire 5" monster tachoi w/shift light

plus not to mention how my car was left...

back seat was onm the road, carpet ripped up everywhere.

all panels wires etc ripped out and left hanging everywhere.

what i can get over is they stole the whole rear parcel shelf, they wheren't satisfied with just the speakers im guessing :)

Hi Guys,just came back from SST. We couldnt push the car to redline because the boost was creeping TOO much. So im gonna go back with a profec EBC and theyre gonna port my wastegate hole too. But without even pushing it to redline my car made 274HP,this was at erm 140+km/h i think

-so theres lots more potential left in them steve reckons

    • Mount some of these on your dash? https://www.greddy.com/products/16001720  
    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
