Opps sorry,

no I only found what was left of the car, motor/gearbox. and a pile of parts.

The car has alarm, a hidden fuel pump switch, and battery isolated.

Also the car was in locked security yard with 4 infra read cameras,

I guess they didnt realise the cameras were there

Also, I do believe we took out an import specialist stealing gang.

well at least the cops finally caught some of the a$$holes, must have been a pretty serious mob to nab it with all that security.

Not really, doesnt come accross like that when we nab them.

The car was left un attended with all security at spare house back in brisbane, in a decent neighbourhood.

The property is in large and well away nfrom street, and if a thief has all the time in the world, sooner or later they will get it going.

However saying that I only drive that car twice a year, and only drove it the week prior to it getting stolen, so someone must have spotted me, and either followed or when searching the locality. The thieves were aware of the car history and build, somehow.

So, yes. it was targetted and not a random thing.

Ok, I've been out of town and was brief on some recent developement of this event.

Before anyone assume anything, I donot condone violence, or participate in anyway or form at all.

Apparently,

The "mechanic" who stripped the car, had petrol tossed in his face and was set alight.

He now reside in the PA burns unit and is unrecognisable.

I'm pretty sure this is what is "known" as a "screaming candle"

I will keep everyone update as thing progress, but I hope it all history by xmas.

I'm a strong believer of karma

I still remember you Belgarion, been a long time since we last met, how have you been?

Johnny, plenty happen on the night that I didnt tell Vicky, but some funny shit. Well to summarize it up, I've never seen a bunch of criminals who were so happy to see the police. They litterally, ran over to the paddy wagons and lock themselves inside.

And for the record, I didn't lay one finger on them

As for thieves I'm pretty sure they're just as prevalent everywhere. Its just you don't hear about it, that's all.

I'm still surprise that these fellas rolled up to my place, and think they were going to get away with it.

Saying that, I'm wondering what is happening or where is the thief who drove the car out of my yard?

Now I have a dilema of what to do whit a pile of parts and running gear.

Might go put it in some classic convertible, like a 356 speedster or a 190sl.

be interesting with around 600hp atw with one of those.

    • If the RB29 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • 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..
