sorry to hear mate, was a feeling a bit strange when i read the title, i remember seeing your car at Roe Street CPP on the weekend as i parked there too

good to hear you've got it back mate better than nothing right?

hope insurance helps mate cheers

im sorry to here this but its the sad thruth that it happens all to often..my friends r8 ute was taken the same way recently and then used for ram raids around perth......i sleep with my f**kn keys....these days................im also thinking that a alam with the four pin code would b a great investment as then if they get ur keys they still cant start the car with the pin lock on....very sorry to hear again i hope u can get here back on the road mate...

suxxs nuts man, is it a write-off?? at least they didnt wreck those sex wheels.

i always sleep with my keys, have them in my top draw i also have a flip knife under my pillow, have had for years now!! gl stealing my keys!

hope it turns out good for you, just remember, dont except the first offer the insurance company gives you, theyll try and give u the least amount possible!

until recently i worked at both fowles and pickles auctions dealing with all insurance co's..so i would see an average of 20 new wrecked cars each day....i left that job to start my own smash repair company, so my advice is pretty accurate as i know how each insurance co thinks...i know their different repair/write off percentages etc, buy back rules etc..(apart from me "inspecting" every wrecked nice car in the yards ha ha..i bought wrecked s15 too...

anyway...

1. if thats not written off then i will be speechless.....rule of thumb is rear quarter panel damage = massive job to replace., thats without rear suspension etc...

2. who u insured with?

3. insured value? agreed value or market value?

4. where is car now? cannington compound?...cops have to do forensics/dna, then insurance assessor has a look..

and my neighbours camry was stolen 3 weeks ago from burglary too...(churchlands area).car found in cannington next day, no damage at all....obviously needs locks/keys changed (780 for just the parts without labour...car still not been worked on

by allianz repairer....allianz say no lock kits available (i called toyota and they are in stock) lying cuunts)...

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
