That's terrible. But I guess it's a lesson for everyone to get their driver's license number, name and address before even giving them the keys for a second. I'll keep an eye out mate. Did you have insurance?

yes i know, however i am a very trusting person... not anymore i spose!

thankfully the car is fully insured!

still man, liek when my old skyline was on the market i never let anyone test drive it until, i was always taking them for a test drive, thats just me, i underrstand your a trusting person because i wa sliek that at one stage but something similar to this situation happened so thats it, just hit me straight away not to let anyone drive it at all, but you got insurance so its all sweet,

cheers mate

This isn't the first time such an incident has happened. A few years back there was a similar incident that happened to someone with a yellow S15.

There should be close circuit cameras in the petrol station though. I reckon the police will look into them.

Reminds me of harold and kumar where doogie stole the camry in the petrol station.

Anyways some f*kn crappy world we live in with shit people like this; dont worry its insured... i read an insurance book recently and the car is covered on testdrives where you are a passenger.

Bad luck man. Shit like this makes me fearful of selling my car.

Basically when I do sell it and someone wants a test drive, they will have to provide drivers license etc., aswell as putting down a substantial deposit before they even think of sitting in the drivers seat.

WTF! so sorry to hear this Mark :(

Where did the guy leave his car when he came to your house to test drive the S15? must have doubled back to pick up his car, or did someone drop him off?

i remember you telling me what a clean S15 that was :(

That's terrible. I hope you get a good pay out from insurance.

GTRBOS. What do you want? A medal because you wouldn't let anyone test drive your car? It's not his fault that the car got stolen.

As others have said get the petrol station's footage and hopefully some witnesses that were there and insurance will hopefully sort it all out.

im fairly sure shannons will look after me... i didnt give him permission to drive away with it,,.... its still considered theft!

as for CCTV footage... he cleverly parked it out of range of the cameras just before he took off with it... so no video footage unfortunatly

      Fixing exhaust position?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I'd want an even MORE side on view. More or less you want to make sure the outlet is actually square with the outermost part of the bumper. Or you end up getting soot all over your bumper from your hektik exhaust. In any case, it looks pretty close. I think the way to fix this is probably more of an overhaul at an exhaust specialty shop if you want tips that are rounded off or sit nicely with the bumper but have proper clearance and don't move - Probably more of a redesign than a quick fix. I've pencilled in my own exhaust with its own various problems, pinholes, PITA fitment, and other issues and can see myself going to a shop and saying "JUST DO THIS BUT BETTER?"  Which is gonna work better than any more small fixes. I'm gonna chime in here officially with "from an outsider perspective this exhaust looks fine so this is self OCD probably" (which I also suffer from)

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I just did an oil change on my daily which used oil that is probably 2-3 years old. Normally I try to follow exact viscosities, but my LS400 is fairly tolerant. Dumped something like half a quart of 0W30 Mobil1 ESP X2 in there, followed by 2 quarts Pennzoil 5W30, followed by ~1.2 quarts of liquimoly 5W30 LL04 spec oil. Then the rest was QS euro 5W40 which is actually so thin it's basically a 30 weight oil. All this is to say it doesn't matter that much. We aren't talking about brake fluid. For an RB I would recommend a high ZDDP oil because it doesn't use rollers in the interface between the cam and valve, but a 5W30 or 5W40 is fine to use for street use. The 10W60 guidance really only applies if you're getting it hot and pushing the engine hard.
