to post a couple of updates

car was seen again on thursday (by me) and followed for a good 40mins. police were informed and caught up with the car. it had been involved in a high speed chase / armed hold up(s) about a month or so back, and when i saw it, it had just been picked up from the impound yard. a few things happened and the car was let go

tyson had a phonecall this arvo to inform him the car was in an impound lot and we're heading up tomorrow morning to pick it up :)

Good to hear that the car hasn't been torched. If the car in question is the car from the pic off facebook that posted up matty, then it doesn't look too bad to be honest

that is the one krishy

its safely back in his possession as we speak

was up at 3:30am to drive up to Port Pirie to retrieve the car. Theres a few things not exactly perfect with the car, but it is intact overall. Apparently the same guy from the Advertiser that interviewed him after the theft (and police bungles thereafter) is going into his work tomorrow and interviewing him again for another article, so stay tuned :)

long story behind it all, apparently the "rebirth" was that good the numbers checked out to the guy they pulled over....and didnt look at the chassis number stamped in the firewall next to the plate that would more than likely have been completely different

im surprised in your description of their roadside "looksie" that it didnt even get defected

you're not wrong

quick copy paste from kev

2 months of agony to be exact. and yes i havent seen him this happy since it was unlawfully taken.

HUGE thanks to Matty T for the 3.30am trip to port pirie this morning (about 4 hours out of adelaide for the interstaters) to pick her up. I've been awake since 10am saturday, completely ****ed, sick as a dog but it was totally worth it to see the smile on my best mate's face when we drove into the impound lot.

Also everyone's support and reports leading up to the seizure of the car from the police. Every step of it bought us closer to recovering it.

She needs a bit of TLC but Tys is keen to keep her and bring back the former glory. A good result but an unfortunate delay from police action, there will be another article in The Advertiser in a day or two.

Most of it is still there, the entire stereo system was stripped out but not much else seems to be missing. also the starter motor is completely ****ed and it has to be push started but it still runs.

as for the insurance, yes he had insurance. it'll now be assessed for whats missing / damaged and money will also be claimed for this through victims of crime

      I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though

      $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.

      Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.

      I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.

      I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
