Yes im insured and one of the guys I work with saw it get driven off on a tow truck with nothing written on it anywhere and yes its a parking spot other cars are parked there right now so it wasnt a tow zone. Ive told the cops and they came and spoke to me.

Sorry to hear, Theifs are getting more crafty these days .... cant steal a car by simply breaking in and hotwireing. Now they just get a towtruck and take it. This is the second time i've heard of this in a month :S

Mate that's seriously unbelievable, must have been a reasonably small truck to be able to pick it up from a parking spot in a crowded car park.

This might be a stupid question but was the car purchased under finance? I've done quite a few repo's where I have the authority to back up to a car and take it away.

In saying that an R34 GT-R would be difficult to tow away without access to the handbrake and steering. I'd say they just hooked up a chain to it and dragged it up. The front lip will now most likely be non existent...

From memory your car is midnight purple yeah? Not many around in that colour so will be more difficult to hide....

Will keep a look out and make a few calls to people I know in the area....

So if anyone ever catches a Towy taking your car, you confront tham and they say "Oh! Sorry! I was asked by a customer to pick it up! Oh wait there's the car I want." Make sure you get every particular detial you can get. Towies have been in the business for many years, they don't make mistakes.

Totally agree, whenever I get a call from somebody to tow their car without keys I make sure they show me ownership papers (rego) and make sure their with me at the car picking it up.

Scott, sucks to hear your GTR is stolen in shopping centre with all these people around.

Will keep my eyes peeled if I ever see it around east side.

Hope you get it back mate.

      I picked up my block and head last week and have been slowly assembling it since then. Pictures I took earlier this week. The rest of the auxiliaries are on now. I just have my intake manifold runners to tap for my WMI direct port setup before putting it back on. I should hopefully have the motor back in by this weekend.

      I couldn't agree more. As an owner of a built high HP skyline, I'd be a hypocrite to not buy a Hummer for the reasons you listed though haha.

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Is this the one? https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php?id_product=2192&rewrite=nissan-stagea-c34-rear-boot-actuator-assembly-90550-0v000 Might be worth having a look at yahoo japan as well. Though it seems a bit odd. If the motor works itself, other than being noisy, then wouldn't it be more likely that it's an electrical issue somewhere else? And it being noisy does not seem as surprising if it has been chugging away for months

      Stagea boot lid probs

      By BCs300z · Posted

      I know this thread is quite old, but I found it, it helped me, but I also wanted to add my experience and troubleshooting finds to the chat for others. I have not been able to open the rear hatch of my 97 Stagea for several months. Figured it had just really sealed itself up over the winter and I would just get to it eventually. Well that day was yesterday. Some time ago, I noticed my battery was going flat all the time. It was frustrating. Then one quiet night in the garage, I could hear and ever so slight humming / grinding noise coming from the back of the car. It was like a really quiet popping sound or something like sand in a very low speed blender. I took off the panels in the back and noticed the noise coming from the auto close motor, so I unplugged it and the noise stopped. And the auto close was disabled. Well, fast forward to yesterday, I tried all the tricks with power and fuse and lock and unlock and I still could open the damn hatch. So I took off the panels from the inside and found the auto lock had engaged and was stuck in close position. When plugging and unplugging the fuse, I could hear the relay clicking. So I plugged the autoclose motor back in, and the damn thing let go. And immediately started making that grinding sound again. This time, instead of just unplugging the motor, I pulled the fuse, thus depowering the relay entirely. I don't have the autoclose feature now, but at least I can open the boot and not have my battery being sucked dead all the time. Not sure what caused the motor to latch when it was unplugged from the system, but I am pretty sure it won't cause any more problems now.  If anyone has a lead on a new motor, please let me know. It's a cool feature that I would like to get back.  Hope this helps.
