They found it today everyone! out in West Croyden with a bunch on clothing, cigarettes,USB, Holden jacket (typical) and sunglasses in it. With apparently no cosmetic damage apart from broken window and ruined ignition barrel. But I will get to see it tomorrow after TAFE,

Thank you everyone for your help! and would be keen on one of those GPS trackers! :)

It apparently was used in multiple high speed pursuits over the weekend, so I am mechanically worried and about possible damage. Is there anything I should specifically look for when i go examine it for any damage?

Great news man!

I'd probably do a service and take it for a long drive, you should be able to notice anything sinister through that, might pay to plug her in to a computer and just check the error log.

Good to see you got it back dude!

First things first. Check all suspension arms en a wheel alignment. If they were driving it like its stolen they wouldn't care about gutters and they probs got some air on it lol

Oil change for sure just to be safe :)

Glad to hear Josh. The little so & so's need their hands broken with a 4lb copper hammer! As everyone else said about checkin it out. Get it up on a hoist, full service, wheel alignment (It sucks that insurers won't cover tyres!), if there is gutter rash as Hugh stated, make sure every rim spins true! Definately up for the trackers. PM sent.

Currently at Jaustech being completely Sussed out. Went and had a look last week, was pretty pissed off after looking at it.

Drivers door needs replacing, clutch is gone, some scratches, plastic dash fascia missing in most places. Inside mirrors ripped off, center console snapped, head unit fascia cracked, ash tray broken, glove box broken, cigarette burns. Extremely filthy....

Will be at least a couple weeks until I get her back.

    • Nah it factory manual not sure about ratio but it looks like there’s been some work at the rear 
    • so I need a new speedo cable 
    • Throwing my spoon to the soup here a bit.  When I installed a 044 back in 2012, along with the direct power mod, the car became very difficult to start. To a point I burned one starter motor as I was late for work and tried to get the thing going. With some tuning and careful use of gas pedal when cranking it became bearable. Trying to make this short as possible, but the 044 died after 2-3 years, after which I went with an AEM 320lph pump, which also died after about 4 years to my dismay. After that I went with a Nismo pump, and while trying diagnose an emissions problem, I noticed for the first time that my fuel pressure was 5bar/72psi on idle, and that removing the vacuum line did nothing. After monitoring the situation, and removing the direct power feed and going back to FPCM in attempts to remedy it, I noticed there was fuel in the pressure regulator vac line. Kept the FPCM, installed AEM external regu and the car became sooo much better in every way, including starting. And I had driven it like it was for 11 years.. Anyway, I agree these are likely two different problems, and the FP problem you just haven't noticed before. I do not know much about haltecs, but what first came to mind was the CAS, which probably is not there any more. So how is the wiring from haltec to gauge cluster? How is the battery voltage and alternator?
    • Your car was auto before? You have different diff ratio (auto vs manual i think? or n/a and turbo?)
    • +1 for getting a screen off alibaba, CarPlay/Android Auto is vastly better than whatever navigation cars had 10 years ago. I got an Android screen for my 2015 BMW, huge difference. Fully compatible with factory stuff including iDrive controls.
