Man sydneys becoming more americanised every damn day! arrghh australia is going down hill!!

surely the place they were being held at is insured and can compensate you in some way?

Damn mate, i remember you sent me some pics of those babies from the Japanese auctions. Really wish i could help you out but doubt they'd be anywhere near Canberra. Good luck getting the cars back, hope the people who took them are brought to justice too.

Hey... I think i called u last night... My GTR was ment to be @ hobbs Bros at the same time but something happened with the paper work so it is still @ the Docks(Thank God)... I nearly died when i heard what happened.... With all the people on this forum etc its only a matter of time till one of the low lifes slip up.... Do you think its still safe to goto Hobbs Bros? Will be spking to ppl i know n will let u know if i hear even the slightest thing. If you think u might know anything about it and you need some ppl from the syd area to help suss it out or get them back let me know

Cheers

James

Hobbs is a funny place, sometimes they remember to take the keys out but other times they didn't - for example, couple of weeks back a mate and I rocked up there to pick up his Ceffo but a R32 GTR blocked us. We saw the keys, started the car and moved it but no one questioned what we were doing...also their battery pack is highly visible so any opportunistic low lives could've been there, waiting for the right time, jump start it and drive it under their nose.

There's another place that could do this - ANJ (or is it ANK?) in Sydneham, right behind the station. Last time I've got one cleaned/vaccumed for $180 which is some $30 cheaper than Hobbs BUT it must be towed there, it is a fair hike to drive and by AQIS rules you aren't suppose to drive it anyway even to Hobbs. Cost me $60 to be towed from AAT to there and everyone's happy.

you should check out places that sell nissan parts.. any sort of jap wreckers etc.

and ask for any new stock.. eg. rb26's or R32GTR seats.. and just go snooping around.

although if they had half a brain they wouldnt sell any of the stolen parts for atleast 6 months.

I dont think that you could really track the parts. Anyone could say that they have a rb26 from their old gtr and sell it.... for all we know they could be stelling stuff on this forum...

Thanks for the support guys. Thanks Ben and James. Dont worry James your car is still there and by the way it looks really good. We did get our other cars cleaned by Hobbs Bros as they have taken a couple more security measures. I would still trust them in a way but make sure the cars are safe.

    • No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!
    • Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?
    • Should shit that in as for the driver ability probably not
    • Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!   
    • have you rotated the car yet? if so how smooth was it?
