Stolen Gear............please Help


Recommended Posts

Well people within the last week I have been robbed of some precious things. :)

I have been saving for years only to have it all taken by some scum.

I am offering a very substantial reward for any info.

The stolen gear includes,

A.R.E Front mount intercooler

Greddy /Trust TDO6-25g Turbocharger

Greddy/ Trust High mount stainless steel manifold

Turbo smart mega sonic BOV

Autometer monster tacho

Autometer water temp and oit pressure guages in red cups

Pioneer cd head unit (the loom was cut

Kicker sub in a carpeted kicker box

4g worth of tools (every tool I own)

And a lot mor stuff.

These items were stolen from near Forest Lake and were stolen some time in the last week.

The items stolen are worth well over 10 thousand dollars and I am absolutely heart broken.

My car was due to be finished in 2 weeks and now I dont know what Im going to do.

This is a photo of the turbo and manifold.

Thats really nasty i got my GT30 and high mount manifold stolen from my garage about 3 months ago....

The police never found the goods but they caught the theives...

Still 4 months in the can is little punishment for the hundreds of thousands they stole over a 2 month period...

Ill keep my eyes open cause im trying to re-purchase those items atm.... So i am already asking round...

I have the model written down and if someone offers me one cheap when i look for another GT30 you will be the first to know..

I gather these parts were just lying in a shed or something? Cuase it would have taken a considerable amount of time to remove them from a car?

Good luck finding them. We had items stolen off one of our cars once and none of them were ever recovered.

Yeah i just had mine on the bench in the titan....

I was mowing the front lawn.... Come back for more fuel and their gone....

I never mow now with out locking the house and the shed...

Seems funny mowing with the garage remote in my pocket but its what i got to do....

Col, thats bad hey. I hate this world place hey.

Anyway dude, out of interest how did they take the gear. Because I know if I was a theif (which Im not just for the record, I dont have time) I wouldnt just go in to any garage willy nilly hoping to find something.

So basically what Im saying is, if the place was locked up, someone knew the gear was there.

Also, look on the bright side, there is always someone worse off that you. One of my dads contractors for instance. He woke up this morning to find. Anything of value in his house missing, ie wallet, money etc, then to go outside and find BOTH of his cars missing. They broke in to the house, stole most of his stuff, and took the keys and both of his cars.

Stupid barstards left the car they had stolen from the last place behind tho, so hopefully they can catch them off evidence left in that.

I was just lucky actually.....

The people who did me were just 18 not a cent older... So their were procercuted as adults. Also the house was unlocked so they could have got heaps more... The shed usually just has the cars and the lawn mower/weed eater/blower. So nothing too expensive.

The group of three were responisable for over 700k worth of stolen goods all over the north side of Brisbane... They got unstuck hitting a mobile phone shop with great sercurity... They got stuck inside and the police came and cuffed em...

Suckers...

My home insurance didnt cover anything in the shed as i didnt list the shed as coverage...

NOTE: Home owners if you have a granny flat/detached part of your house then you need to tell your insurance company about it cause they only will over your principle residents...

I now have the shed covered.

yeah, I'd be looking into the dodgey friends category. f**ken seen heaps of that lately, and If I do notice people with dodgey friends, I make sure they don't know what I have got and where I live.

Trust me man, the guys are probably closer than you think.

    • It's weird to me that you say this because I'm pretty sure locals with relatively standard standalone tunes (boost/barometric compensated alpha-N) still have driveability issues when they pop intercooler hoses. Maybe with enough data I can just train some kind of model that spits out an expected grams/cyl given every sensor input except MAF like what FCA did with their Pentastar 3.6 ECU logic. Basically stock everything. The main motivation honestly is to have a sensor that can be a decent baseline source of truth. In scenarios you're describing obviously it won't work every time but it seems to me the number of corner cases that exist in MAF load is maybe not as severe and difficult to manage vs ITB alpha-N with some MAP/barometric compensation.
    • What are your plans for your blow off valves? Purely plumb back? How soft will the spring in them be? AFM can be tricky to get super smooth and nice, especially depending on the rest of the system, and then can be very easily upset if something slightly changes. IE, even if you run recirc blow off valves, you could still see issues getting it to behave at certain load points as turbos might start to spool, but you release the throttle but it's not enough pressure to crack the bov open to recirc, and you can end up with reversion which can cause double metering, and hence dumping of fuel into the system, and stalling the engine.   If you're going to run a map sensor for closed loop boost control from the ECU, what makes you want to keep the AFM?    
    • It's not bad, it's just not flexible. And say if you have any leaks between the MAF and plenum, well then your load axis goes out the window. Here's a real world scenario, I blew off an intercooler hose last track day, as the clamp decided to Bluetooth itself somewhere. Still continued to do 2 laps and drive it to the pub for a couple of beers then home. Good luck doing that with a MAF setup 
    • Is MAF load really that bad? I'm not trying to do big power, my only real desire is VCAM and flex fuel support so I'm not terrified of blowing my engine apart from CA's appalling 95 RON "premium" fuel. Stuff like playing with closed loop boost control and really dialing in my transient fueling and ignition are frankly just to prove to myself I remembered something from uni.
    • Thats what ive been doing. Ive got a million questions but i know theyve probably all been answered before at some stage. Todays research included nismo heritage seat covers, s3 projector headlight retrofits and how to remove/paint the rocker covers
