Hi all,

My skyline was just broken into this morning. Lucky a work colleague saw the break in and they took off. This was in broad daylight with other cars and a lot of public in view.

But the dumb thieves got their rego taken down and when I was informed, I came back out to look over the damage and to my surprise they returned and I clearly saw their faces and also their number plate, make and model.

I have to get back to work now, but I will inform you all, if any, of the outcome.

Occurred in western suburbs. No broken glass, just jimmied my passenger window. I just fixed the damage but it's annoying. My boss said that is brazen to do it at such a time. Cops that came were champs.

there have been allot of thefts around the beach area. a supercharged orange ford GT plates [COYOTE] was taken from his garage during daylight hours recently.

??? How? Broke into house stole keys and dissapeared? Flatbed truck?

holy shit this is seriously messed up. The penalties for this crims are not high or harsh enough so they keep doing shit like this. Maybe they should start chopping the hands of car thieves.

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
