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.

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?

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.

      OEM Soko: Japanese business supplying Automotive items from Japan - Freebie inside!

      By Rezz · Posted

      We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning.

      RB20DET lean on cold start

      Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.

      Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?

      Rb20e and RB20DET parts

      By A31Skyline · Posted

      yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
