Okay, Basically i had my car repaired (UC Torana with RB25DET) at a local panel shop after hitting a roo.

Now, I get my car back and a week later i decide to check my K & N filter (standard R33 airbox) due the fact driving on dirt roads.

I find that there is no longer an air filter. I've traveled 1,000 klms since I picked it up. I know it was there and I have even a photo of the car in the shop from the assessor with evidence that it was there.

They are claiming that it was never there and I must have taken it out.

I've bought another one in the meantime, but I still need some help.

Someone from the Sale area in a dark grey/silver Skyline took a picture of my engine bay after we had a chat about cars. His photo may show the missing air box abit more clearer.

Also if anyone was offered or bought a stolen K & N filter to suit a R33 skyline I want to know. Not to get you in trouble, but whoever sold it to you in the first place.

All this happened probably about 4-8 weeks ago.

Any help would be great ad I don't want them (thief from panel shop) to get away with it.

Honestly, its a K&N filter. They're peanuts.

Just tell everyone you know what dodgy bastards they are and never go back to them.

I highly doubt anyone is out there making a huge profit off selling stolen (and used) panel filters.

I know that it's only $109, but it's the fact that some one thinks that they can get away with it. I want the person responsible to admit and be punished for doing it.

What would you do in my shoes? Would you be happy that your turbo has been sucking dirt, bugs and dust for 1,000 klms?

I've actually had a similar incident where my mechanic left my the upper part of my air intake disconnected.

I discovered it pretty quickly, and yes I was pissed, but there is nothing you can do.

You have no proof, and they're not going to admit it. I just told all my mates never to go to that joint, and never went back.

just tell everyone u know to avoid them if they are that dodgy.. lots in melb but not allowed to mention it..

Well said, Melbourne sucks ass sadly. Count your losses and move on, but im sure if it happened to me i would do the same as you are. Best of luck =[
