I'm about to go out and murder some little local pr*cks.

My holiday/ fishing vehicle (2005 hilux SR dual cab) loaded up with expensive fishing gear and hunting equipements was half packed for Friday and I did the cardinal sin, by taking it to work to get tinting done.

Well the little bastards smashed the driver side window and mangle the rear right door trying to openin the ute up, in the process they threw a brick through the window so hard that it smashed the centre console and destroyed the door trim on the otherside.

The police didn't even wanted to know about it after I waited for nearly 2 hrs at the local cop shop.

Now I finished my rant, anyone see any young kids running around with VERY expesive binnoculars/scope please contact me,a big reward is offered.

OOps, sorry, the area was Calamvale. I suspect the gear would be floating around Browns plains/Crestmead area, as I've seen a few youngins walking towards that direction this morning.

More than likely. Prob the stupid barsard round here that got pulled over trying to steal a bobcat the other day.

Hope they are caught, and you get most if not all your gear back.

Out of interest, insureance???

even if u got insurence most of em only cover upto $300 of gear inside the car.... unless u want to pay more for your insurence :)

Yes the car was insured, but personal effects is $300 max, DOH!!

To make matter worse, Toyota haven't got one of those side glass in stock, and I sat on a glass splinter yesterday which will need the attention of my good looking female Dr.

So the trip out to St. George is off, oh well I be doing somethig else this Xmas.

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • 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 style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no 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?
    • 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.
