im feeling for skylinechick, and this whole situation is fishy as

but really, an angry mob from the internet?

so we turn up with pitch forks and torches, then what?

Yeah sounds a bit of overkill but the police say all you can do is report the car stolen.... Bugger that... these guys need some preasure put on them. If this was done to a young Lebanese guy the yard would already be just a hole in the dirt. The least we can do is rock up and ask some questions and try help her out.

With some luck they might see how serious the matter is when there is loads of support from others in the import car scene. Not knowing who the company is exactly but guessing that they are an import car yard, it can't be good for business to have that many people knowing about your stuffups and the potential intimidation to resolve the matter can only be a good thing.

I think the average Skyline owner is past the aggressor mindset that you are hinting at, well I hope so.

Yeah,

I think the biggest point is that fact that it wont be taken lightly, there will be a lot of support for her.

Come on people.. how would you feel if you didnt know where your baby was? i would be gutted.

Also i think the biggest issue will be the good ol word of mouth.. cause i would make sure this never happens to a mate of mine so i would steer them faaaaaar away from this group.

I hope its just the most pathetic customer service ever amy... good luck

Thank you so much everyone, @ people have seen it a slakcs creek. It wasnt getting repairs done because the car yard refused to fix the stuff wrong with it until they got the complaince thing sorted. I when down to moss st yesterday afternoon and look around. i couldnt see it anywhere. I have the number of the company people have seen it around i am going to ring them right now.

As soon as i get the car back i am going to fair trading. these people are going to pay for what they have done and put me thought the last new days.

But thanks again to everyone.

FOUND THE CAR!!!! IN SLACKS CREEK!!!! FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS BEING HIDEN THERE TILL THE OWNER GETS BACK FROM HOLIDAYS. nEXT PHONE CALL IS FAIR TRADING.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN HELPING ME.

I dont understand what they were thinking....

Amy,

So pleased to hear that you have located your car ;)

"Until the owner gets back from holidays" WTF.... :(

I would most definitely be making lots of calls now. Don't let them get away with this. Is anything missing from your car? How many extra kays are on it?

Karen

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so now its been located (congratulations), what do i do with this 12 guage shot gun, hacksaw and 50 rounds of happiness + bottle of jonny walker?

good stuff. keep us all updated on how it goes.

after you've blown them out of the water, can you let the community know who these doggggy people are?

=)

congrats on finding it... could i please get a PM with the name of this caryard so i know never to use them?

if this isn't resolved by next week, i'm actually on holidays, and will be rather bored, so i would be free to come down to the caryard to provide 'moral support'* if you have anything you wish to say to them

*by moral support i mean i'm a rather large scary guy

Great news to hear you got it back!! It'll cost you a few dollars but I would immediately have the locks changed on the ignition, both doors and the boot, and have a new alarm installed. You don't know whether they've made copies of the keys, recoded remotes or done anything to the security of the car. Have the whole car checked over with a microscope. Send them the bill or add the costs to the lawsuit or insurance claim as appropriate, just get it done.

Gratuitous plug ahead... If you don't already have someone you trust to sort out the alarm, Chris Rogers from Audio Express will be able to help you, he's absolutely trustworthy and will come to you - the car doesn't have to leave your yard. He's worked on approximately 11ty billion Skylines too so knows them inside out, and is an SAU Qld club sponsor.

Please keep us updated, I personally would love to see the person/s responsible for this ridiculous situation get raped by the legal system. And yes, curiosity has managed to get the better of me, can someone please PM me some details on the yard? :(

I still don't really understand what happened here. Why did the car yard get the car back, and why wasn't it returned to you? Is the car sold? Why are they waiting for the owner to come back from holidays? I don't understand how people took your car from you, and then just refused to return it. Who had it at slacks creek? Is the car legally yours?

So many questions.

Can somebody explain this to me like i am five year old? (had to use that Jerry McGuire line, even if it was uttered by Tom Cruise, may he burn in hell)

Hey can someone PM me the details, cause it sounds f**ked.

And let me know or someone make a topic or something on if we are going to visit someone sometime. We need to have a chat to some this guy.

Really great to hear you got your car back Amy, we are all here to help so. If you need back up then let us know.

    • Thanks again, really helpful chap from alpha omega wanted to speak to me, little concerned if this is meant to he aero alloy/ airospace quality and car sitting on drive has caused this.  Airplane are subject to much more changing temp and conditions than road salts! My caliper, many other components much older have surface rust but never eating part of the metal   Had I not seen it , could have been a disaster! specifically on rear part of bracket coming off like biscuit will update on what they say, helpful people so far
    • January or Feb is it booked in for turbo fitment?
    • The MX5 has had some annoying rattles in both front doors over bumps So I installed fancy pants door bushings, which stopped all of the rattles with the windows up, but........with the windows down there was still rattles, so after some googling,  and a chat with MX5 Mania, I got some new door to glass weather seals, all the rattles, windows up, or down, are gone now Shout out to MX5 Mania, the weather seals were on sale, and when I head to Dural to pick the up they even fitted them for me for free I did see a "really" nice Blue NA sitting out front   and this Black NC PRHT that looked like it has sat in the sun for its whole life and never had a wash, the clear coat was non-existent, an it looked horrible, really horrible, but, it had a nice turbo kit with over 200kw, the thing went like a cut snake, bagging the rears through the gears and dosing like a champ 😍 But, as I've always stated, I am keeping my NC na, I'm happy with the current power the car makes In other news: MX5 Mania do a drive in drive out turbo kit, the only minor additional part recommended for boosting my car, as it sits now, is a oil cooler, and that bonnet vents are definitely required for track use Aftermarket version look a bit to "racecar" spec I wonder how Focus RS bonnet vents would look?????
    • Paint is only structural when applied to the outside of Chinese and Indian cars. Otherwise it should never be present between mechanical joints that were intended to be metal to metal. Pain slips, slides, cracks, compresses, and add thickness that wasn't intended to be there. It comes firmly under the category of "just no".
    • appreciated it thanks   There are threads on the adaptor. I rear re anodising but didn’t know it will reduce strength   re mating services needing to be flat/ not painted, why would that be? I am devastated as car been off for a year, fixed power steering then installed bm57 master cylinder and just before driving it this came up. So annoyed   worried and afraid to drive it, no fun caliper coming off
