Shit...sorry it had to end like this buddy. At least you got something back, which is better than most stolen uninsured cases turn out. I'm no panel expert, but it looks like about 7-8k worth of damage to fix, assuming it's just that side of the car and the chassis isn't bent / the pillars are straight. Can't tell if the A pillar looks alright? Then there's the mechanical side of things I guess...they wouldn't have been too kind on the engine/driveline.

Seriously what goes through peoples heads doing shit like this, "Yeah I'm gonna steal someones nice car, get in a chase, smash the car and cop cars and end up in worse shit than if I sat at home playing with myself"

Edit: Did they steal that 33 as well?

Didn't ask, probably not. Cops said heaps of skylines have been getting pinched around here, but then again they said the guy they suspect steals skylines all the time, so who knows :|

Went for a drive and the shop was a milk bar

posted that on gf's account lol

Used your credit card?

Debit master card, passed the info to the cops already. Went in there and bought a drink, heaps of cameras there.

Doesn't seem to be a professional job to me...Pros wouldn't be driving the car around days after stealing it...They'd more than likely have it in a garage and stripped for parts...

Like I said, you'd easily get $3k for the rims alone...

we need to do a set up! set up someones car to get stolen and like 100 sau members hide in the bushes then run out of the bushes screaming with poles!

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
