Hi guys,

This story has had a happy-ish ending. The car is now back in my brothers possession. (off to CSI to get looked over)

However would love to know if anyone saw anything early this morning on beenleigh road at Runcorn. (approx. after 11.00 pm.)

My brother was still up at around 3am but didn't see anything only noticed some head lights but didnt get up to investigate. (as our house mate had his burgandy r33 series 1 stolen from the same house out on the road).

The car had been pushed out of our driveway to just past down infront of the shops on beenleigh road.

They couldn't get the car started, ignition barrel is rooted, all the trimmings are in about 10 pieces and they took the headunit as a consellation probably.

It really looks like a mob of joy riders.

Its has plates MUP37, gtr wing, P1 Buddy clubs in grey same colour as car.

The was specifically was left on the service road beside beeleigh road.

Any help would be awesome. its a stretch as it always is. But even if we could just find out a basic description race colour etc.

Glad to hear you got it back. My skyline never turned up once it went missing. Funny how they can vanish without a trace...

Did the other one go missing on the same night?

I have alot of interior bits if u need them. Potentially most or all of what you need.

Good news, after alot of dicking around from the cops, they finally got a hold of my brother to tell him that they DID print the car after all and got a match from underneath the rear wing.

(Intially they said that they wouldnt print the car cause it had been out in the rain)

The print pertained to some Richard Rooney from Redcliffe. Havent been informed whether they have found and charged the guy. But hopefully we will hear something soon.

My house mates car went about 5 months prior. Its all covered under insurance, only about 8 weeks later but it is getting done.

Btw little bit of useful information, dont ever get your car done by Woollongabba Car Collision, they are under review for dodgey work.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
