1987 SL VL Commodore 5 Speed

Parked at Epping Station at 7.30am

Came back at 12 noon today, and I see an R31 Skyline P plater in my spot.

Tried to look for anything left behind but didn't find anything, as the rain poured down like crazy!

note: these pictures are a few months old, the car has venetians & rear S2 grey headrests.

I only have 3rd party insurance.

Clublock wasn't used (I know!)

I have Solex locks which probably got ripped out anyway.

I just want my car back please!

Cops are looking...

When I saw the colour and the venetians mentioned before the pics loaded (connection is a little slow here), I thought I might have seen it on Monday night on White St, Parkdale. There was a brown one with those blinds on the windows that went past me on a P plate.

As it happens it was a wagon with the venetians not a sedan, same colour though.

Sorry to hear mate and hope you do find it. :)

Car has been recovered at 12 noon today at McDonald's carpark (suburb unnamed). Great work from the police.

I am relieved that I got it back, cuz that was the worst 24 hours of my life.

The fancy things were stolen, but the car is undamaged and roadworthy.

All Sony gear were ripped out, Autometer gauges/tacho, aluminium gearknob, 2 air fresheners, and 3 pairs of shoes.

They travelled 50km.

Thanks to he guys that helped look out for my car, made me feel much better.

Good to hear you got it back mate

Also good to hear someone giving credit to the police rather than just slandering them and calling them useless :O

they are useless tho, the police didnt find it, there was a reported abandoned car most likely, and they were called to check it out ...

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
