STOLEN: 1998 C34 Stagea (S2) - Black

This car is very dear to me and was stolen last night 09/02/2017 from South Road in Hampton East.

If you see it can you either report it to the cops or contact me directly on 0477 355 000

Reg ZXM-440

Thanks

UPDATE: I just spoke to the police, apparently it has been found in North Melboune with a busted ignition barrel and no other information. I'm guessing it was found by a parking inspector or a curious local. Will update when the inspector gets back to me and releases the car.

Thanks again for your help all. I'm very glad at the prospect of having it hack.

Okay, it's finally home and some notable things to report are

  • missing ignition barrel made it shockingly obvious how easy older cars are to steal
  • things missing were a car charger, cheapo set of sockets and a vape (good quality stereo was left wtf)
  • it was obvious they went through every nook and cranny of storage space, even inside the spare tire tools
  • they removed the air filter panel which was in the boot
  • oil fine
  • coolant fine
  • tires fine
  • 1/4 tank of petrol left
  • flat battery
  • melted positive battery terminal
  • when jump started starter motor just clicks and battery terminal starts smoking
  • can push the car around in 5th and engine still turns over

so i think the next step is to find a column key lock set thing and call an auto elec to figure out what has gone wrong with the starter circuit

unless anyone has any ideas?

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
