Quick update. The car was found in Avondale Heights by the police. I'm still waiting to get details from them. Apparently they arrested a drugged up female that was sitting in the car at the time and all they would tell me was that the car was "partially stripped" whatever that means.

I'll let you guys know what happens, I'm just waiting to call Shannon's to put in a claim tomorrow.

great news man.

only bad news is that the drugged f**kers will get a slap on the wrist and some sort of drug counselling and then be let out to do more f**ked up crimes.....

Doug did my alarm as well. Level 3 python alarm with immobilizer, battery backup and anti signal hack. If someone manages to steal my car i'll eat my own shit

Just an update guys. Shannon's has decided to pay me out instead of repairing the car. The interior was completely stripped (except the dash), boot was totally stripped, boot lid and rear spoiler were gone, bonnet and front bumper were gone, some of the engine bay had started to be taken apart.

In other words, the thieves didn't waste any time.

On the bright side, at least the two thieves were caught red handed and they will likely get convicted. Oh, and this might be a good excuse to get an R34 GTR sooner rather than later.

All I have to say is that Shannon's was a pleasure to deal with through the entire process. They had top customer service and I will definitely insure cars with them in the future.

How much did u hav it insured for with Shannons, did it cover your costs on the car...to replace with the 34 gtr? Well sufficient obviously 34's worth more to buy...

Unlucky on the theft mate, unfortunately for us a skyline is high theft risk though as most of us know... :rofl:

Lol the R34 is something that I'll get later. I had the car insured for $27,000 agreed value so it wont even come close to covering the cost of an R34. I'm moving to Sydney so I'll have to keep the cash on the side to buy furniture and have some reserves for a rainy day.

Sorry to hear bud. My R33 GTR and Soarer also got stolen from my house about 2-3 weeks ago. And i live in Kings park, about 2 mins from you.

:thumbsup:

Seems there must be people targeting those models. They were trying to steal some parts off it, but then cops rocked up and caught them before they could.

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
