Hey everyone, unfortunately I have to share the news my 34 sedan has been stolen from my apartment parking garage in Docklands. Feeling super anxious and unsafe now after this has happened.

Police report and insurance are all done but obviously getting that car back is what i want most. It was last spotted driving around Seaford the past week. Was spotted parked in Woolworths Seaford as well as driving up and down Railway Parade and Hartnett Drive.

Plates are TKYO. Silver (KV2) R34 Sedan).

If anyone spots it please call 000 (This was requested by Frankston police after I informed them the car is being driven around their area) so HWP can dispatch to the location.

Hrm. If you hadn't said it was being driven around I would have said it would be in parts by now.

Hopefully the dipshits are not very bright dipshits and keep driving it around.

Yeah I'm so confused. I had so many people saying its probably in parts or sent overseas. But then I got messages that people saw it being driven and now I'm so confused how it hasn't been caught yet. If anything it feels more horrible knowing someone is out there driving it.

Man, that sucks. I hope you get it back. You must feel violated having this happen at home.

What was the situation? Was it an open car park or in a cage? Any security on the car? Immobiliser, GPS tracker or so?

Apartment living can be a bit f**ked like that. A colleague of mine had his bikes stolen. Camera footage showed people coming in with a van at 2am or so in the morning. Not wasting any time. Going through with a bolt cutter opening cages and taking whatever is easy to grab. Apparently covering the cage to hide the contents would have been enough to make these guys skip it.

I presume with a car it's a bit more targeted though unfortunately.

All the security on the car has been disabled by them which makes it more difficult. Car was parked in a "secure" shared car park under the apartment building.

This is my first ever stint at apartment living and its fair to say that I am currently looking to get out of the city and get back to somewhere with a garage and is safer in general.

Additional update, the car has now been seen again driving around Nepean Highway and Station Street in Seaford on Wednesday/Tuesday between 2pm and 3pm. Someone is literally driving the car like it's theirs. I wish I could go down and look for the car myself but now I have no car which makes that difficult..

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?

      Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card stile AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had not flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).

      So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By tsuokun · Posted

      Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.

      Got this r31 silhouette flood car to rebuild.

      By 25RBGT · Posted

      Boot is going to be replaced eventually. I just wire brushed what I could and rust converted. Then painted in rust kill primer. the spoiler also got repainted and plugs replaced on the ends. The under side of the bonnet is going to be black also, currently white. But red on the top side, same colour code as the silo to begin.
