Got this email from Alisa who is the Championship Co-ordinator for Auto Salon... She has been very helpful in the past, so I thought I might be able to help her out by posting this here :D

Hi Everyone,

If anyone has information relating to the whereabouts of this car or parts that maybe sold from it, we would appreciate hearing from you.

There were a lot of additional things in the vehicle including a passport and gaming consoles. You can remain anonymous if you wish as any information will be helpful.

Yeah I dunno, I wasn't given any of those details... Kinda sucks... a picture would go down well... It's hard to tell if a car has a Plazmaman plenum from the other side of the street...

Miranda westfield is the next big spot for theives (so it seems with all the other skylines stolen from there :( ).

Where exactly was it parked in the carpark??

if someone likes what your have they will take it no mater what you do to keep it safe ..f***ers.it would it be nice if you could do what some countries do ,chop of a hand or leg,hell even a head would be nice.a just punishment . :P

I got a similar email from the owner of the car :P

just a little bit of additional information:

To my knowledge, there are only 2 sets of GReddy in-cabin adjustable coilovers in the country, mine and one other set. Also, the Plazmaman Intercooler is a big sucker, and I’d be surprised to see a great deal of these around as well. So these would be something to keep an eye out for.

not hard to chop their hands off if you who they are and where they are being held. Just gotta hve patience and plan.

Look it should be a well known fact now that some organised crime people are currently focused on stealing performance type cars in the Shire area generally. AFAIK they are currently driving a white camry. Don't know what year model. This will change. Just not leaving your car at any mall carparks will go a long way towards keeping it safe.

    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
