yeah it could have been greyish black.....I didn't see the bum.. was going the other way and only got a quick look. The driver had the window down, and I think it was a young guy with a cap??

Nah dont think so - the "bum" looked like an unpainted rear bumper...

This morning: Black R32 waiting to cross over at the same set of lights as me in Reid - no wave back. Also a red 33 right next to me heading into Civic - also no wave... ?? *sniffs his underarms*

This Black GTsT didnt happen to have stock wheels, Jax Quickfit and Federal stickers on the side did it?

Hm to be honest I didn't notice any stickers on it. It either had stock (or very boring) wheels. It had two guys in it, both wearing sunnies and I think both had at least one parent with non-caucasian acenstry. This was about 9am in the morning... they were turning from the large round-about near the Convention Centre, RIGHT onto the road which heads towards CIT. What time of day is Nige's show on? I also PMed this response to you.

Just so others can keep an eye out:

In the car I saw, there were two males. The driver had black hair about 6-7cm long which was either straight or slightly wavy, and stood up off his head (nearly like a fro, but they didn't look african american, looked more lebanese/similar - something with a fairer/olive complexion). They both had a fairly dark tan or natural complexion, the passenger looked very similar but with shorter hair, or shaven head. Not all that much info ... hopefully helps though. Please note I hold no particular thoughts as to skin colour etc, I'm just doing a 5h1tty job at describing what I saw... I hope these ppl are caught if it WAS indeed the stolen car.

I didn't catch any other details as I was turning across the intersection and couldn't gawk while turning (plus, the car looked pretty 'plain-jain', ie no kit, no flared guards or really wide tyres, front bar or ANYTHING unusual, so maybe I didn't pay too much attention, other than wondering if they'd seen me wave (twice)).

    • Welcome Leigh. While it's possible someone knows something about your car, there are so many in the country, it's likely they won't. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and find the knowledge you seek here.
    • Welcome!  Pics of GU and 370z? It's amazing how side tracked we can get with life.
    • G'day. More deets on your patrol? Unless, it's in a d22?
    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
