If any of you guys hear of or know someone who recently brought an rb25det out of the quokka please contact me immediately on 0404344855.

This motor was stolen from me and then sold in the quokka, i dont want to see some poor skyline owner get charged for recieving stolen goods or something stupid like that. Also it helps me retrieve my stolen engine and them get their money back as well as the idiot who did this to get charged with stealing or stealing a motor vechicle.

Thanks alot for your attention

you should advise all workshops and parts outlets that deal with lines and supply the engine number to the workshops. If the dude who bought it is oblivious of the fact that it is stolen he wouldn't be thinking of grinding off the e#.

Did you see the ad in the quokka, if so which week was it in. I'd like to see if my cousin could try to trace who owns, or owned the phone # used. More than likely a mobile which has been cut off now. But the phone company may have some details that could help.

thanks heaps for your support guys...

i know who stole it because he did an engine swap for me, he just decided he would palm off my engine and keep the money instead of letting me have it back..

the cops are already all over it and he doesnt have a leg to stand on, he even used his own mobile number and suburb in the quokka listing, he isnt the smartest of people...

ill post an engine number tommorrow...

it was advertsed in the quokka released on the 10/02/05 in the asian parts section under skyline, listed for $1500.. hes has/is trying to palm it off as a working engine when it has massive blow by due to a ring gone in number 1.

some people eh?

luckily you've got alot of ammunition on your side so prosecuting the guy won't be a problem, i'm sure as soon as the guy installs this engines he's going to see it doesn't work and then alot of word will go around of trying to fix it.

just for good measure whose the guy that ripped you off so that we all can blackmark anything him of his friends do ever again.

You realise that the worst thing the person can do is own up to buying the engine? If they do then the cops will give it back to you and the person who bought it will never ever ever get their money back.

It means if I bought the stolen engine thinking it was legit and I liked what I bought then found out later it was stolen off some guy I have never met, I would not give it back. Not because I am a bad person but because you would never get the cash back that you paid for it. Whats more important... You or someone else?

Tdawg, im sure the REAL owner of the engine is willing to pay the person to get the motor back man, i dont think hes just expecting someone to give the motor back and have them lose out on 1500$ ?

      App to track mods, repairs etc.

      By cardre · Posted

      Hey everyone, just wanted to let you know about an app I use to track the modifications, repairs, servicing etc I do to my R33 GTR. You might like to use it as well. I'm biased because my son just wrote and released it! But I think you might find it useful to... https://trackmymods.com

      Hey everyone, been on here for a while, but never introduced myself before. 1st import was a R32 GTS Type M, then R33 GTS, now R33 GTR - each one sold to help pay for the next one. Over the years my son has seen me modify and do changes to my imports and was one of the reasons for him to build an app for car enthusiasts like us. (He can only afford a 2007 Honda at the moment, but he'll get there!) Anyway, bit of a proud Dad moment as he's released an app that I use and you all might like to as well. https://trackmymods.com

      It will sound tragic and you wished you didn't have 1x exhaust per turbo. There's a reason why most S55 owners change to a single mid pipe.

      Echo the comments about the well preserved condition it's in. It has the aero bumper too for extra points. Nice car, and please keep it like that! 🙂

      1. There are no real performance benefits. It sounds different, and as the pipes are not as large diameter you can claw back some undercar clearance or run lower (if that's your thing). 2. Twin pipes, offering exactly the same cross sectional area as a single pipe** will have higher pressure drop - so will not flow as well. That's because there is more surface area of wall per cross sectional pipe area, hence more frictional losses. ** But of course, it is almost impossible to get 2 pipes that are exactly the same XS area as a given typical single pipe. eg, 2x2" is not the same as 1x 3", although it is close. If the 2x pipes add up to less XS area than the single - it will just be flat out worse. If the 2x pipes add up to a bit more than the single, then it might come out as a wash. If the 2x pipes are substantially more XS area than the single, then it will probably flow a little better. 3. No. Why would there be? What have cats got to do with boost creep?*** ***But for f**ks' sake, please run a cat. 4. If you want.
