woohoo! gratz bro. I was freaking out all weekend, not only for you but me too. Some bloody soft drink came rolling down the street at 2am passed my house scared the shit outta me, next think i know I'm wielding a broken off chair leg staring out the window haha)

Scum want to steal my car better bring a tactical squad and something for the dog.

Whew!!! Awesome to hear it's back and in safe hands!!!

I was thinking we shuold somehow do a group buy for keypads... lol Cause i'm definately up for getting one!!!

I think it's fair to say your a very very very lucky man to have the car back in decent condition. Great spotting by the SAU member. Normally people that claim they saw a stolen car are fos. Well done buddy!

Good news :down: A lot better than 2 recently that have ended up being trashed & burnt in the middle of nowhere....

Yeah very strange to drive all that way just to take a stereo & smash some windows, hopefully they didn't do anything else.

Kelvin if I was in your situation I would get it towed back & then everything checked out, all the fluids replaced, anything like that. They could have put something dodgy in somewhere, fuel tank, radiator, anything. I wouldn't risk driving it, especially if they didn't fill it up with 98 to get there....

I hope where it was stolen from was where you are moving out of...not into for if the car is coming back there.

Good luck with getting it all back & repaired :D

Wasn't another fairly high profile car stolen and found in Albany recently? wtf is going on down there..

Simple. F#ckwit lives in Albany - maybe even recently moved there. Has f#ckwit friends in Perth. Comes up to Perth to see f#ckwit friends. At end of weekend, steals car to go home. Steals radio to pay for next trip (paying one way, of course).

A F#ckwit Weekend!

Gotta be a big tick for the Albany coppers in there somewhere, as well as the initial spotter of course, glad to hear the car will soon be back with the owner. :P

Cheers GW

Nice to see the boys in blue get a pat on the back this week...see other threads lol.

Kelvin I got a couple days off ill be glad to help out getting the car or anything, even tho id agree in getting it over by truck then sussing the whole lot out at a workshop. Hope you can get it back better than ever.

Its a gtr tho, the beast will probably heal itself! haha

Seriously well done to whoever spotted this =]

I read the post, went and bought pizza, and when I cam back it'd been found! Woo!!

Good luck with it all man, hope that it'll live another day to completely and utterly trump my 33 in the Uwa carparks this semester.

hey guys..i wanna thank those who have offered to help me sort this issue out..have had phone calls from forum ppl offering to help as well..really appreciate the help.

the car will be towed back to perth city to be assessed by my insurance company so hopefully everything will be sorted out soon..will be seeing the car tmr as well to see the damage..hope its not too bad..

if all goes well, the car should be up and running and ready for some cruises at the end of july! :)

    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
