Took my gf to casino for work this morning, returned home to Richmond at 7am. After going back to bed for 3 more lazy hours sleep...I awake to discover that in those 3 hours some a#*hole has tried to steal fuel from my car.

They damaged my fuel flap as a result of forcing open the flap with something probably resembling a key or screwdriver. Now I have a bent up fuel flap and scratched duco.

If anyone out there happens to have an R33 fuel flap in KH3 (black) paint lying around please let me know as my car now looks s*%t!!

I do not understand some pathetic human beings but one consolation did however come from this setback...there was no fuel in the car to steal.

cheers peoples

Damn i heard rumours of sh1t like this happening, but didnt really think people would actually do something so low. If they do it again to another car hopefully they slip and the screw driver goes towards their chest region, preferably their heart.

WTF who in their right mind takes the risk of being caught and beaten to what would resemble a human being just for some fuel?? save themselves what 60 bucks? jeeze fuel atm isnt THAT expensive! the punishment for stealing something should be being forced to eat it... steal fuel you drink 2 litres..steal money..eat 100 5 dollar notes etc etc lol that would teach them

are you sure their trying to steal fuel?

i know suburbs around perth they set the damn cars on fire!

Exactly what I was thinking. Are you sure they're not trying to mix some crap up in there in order to detonate your engine? Vandals are pretty sad.

Also, about making someone eat what they steal, what if they stole food? LoL

Well, you've posed a good question and I guess I'm a little naive in this department but what you're saying could be a possibility in some places but shit like that just does not happen in Richmond, especially where I'm located.

They could have attempted to put anything down the fuel pipe for all I know. I drove to work this morning...just a short trip but I guess I'll find out in time.

cheers

LoL.....I've heard Richmond is pretty bad.

My cuz lives there, apparently there are heaps of junkies in some housing comission flats that cause trouble, perhaps this is related to them?

Seriously, why would someone steal petrol from a car? LoL.

Regardlesss, I hope you find the people who've damaged car so that you can beat them to a pulp. :)

On today tonight about 5 weeks ago or something, they had a segment on junkies gettin high on petrol n runin around streets late at nite all high n causin trouble..

hmm.. idiots.. lol..

Yeah I saw that.....bloody idiots <_<

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
