My Second Car (vl Commodore) Stolen

As the thread says, my Maroon 1987 NA Vl was stolen Tuesday morning from the Fairfield area in Brisbane, QLD Number plates were 272PXH.

It is registered / insured in my name but I gave it to my little sister about 6 months ago (I drive the 33 Skyline remember). Big problem is, when she paid the insurance she renewed only for 3rd party (she thought she was getting fire and theft as well). So now I'm down the value of the car and my sister is finding it almost impossible to get to work and uni.

Karma will catch the low life scum who stole it so I don't have too. But that does not get my car back. So I'm offering a $$cash$$ reward (no questions asked) for information leading to the return of the car or conviction of the theif.

Thanks all.

Hey everyone, I've got good news and bad news:

Good news: The car was found.

Bad news: It is a puddle of molten metal - supprise, supprise.

Coppers found it in the bush around Wacol area (again supprise, supprise).

Must have been a big fire, the glass all melted, even the cam cover was a puddle in the engine bay.

Really pissed off because the low lifes just took it and floged the crap out of it then burnt it, they did not even bother taking anything from it, (It had a couple of guages, decent stereo and VN Calis mags, extractors, so on).

I'm not really supprised, I did not expect it would turn up in working order.

Bummer, I had some good times in that car!!!

If I ever find out who did it I will make them pay dearly.

    • Yes, it's similar length. 
    • Is the CD009 similar length from bell to shifter?    car will just be for the street with the odd track day. It’s RB30det, and weighs about 1000kg
    • The r34 gearbox is like $3400/3700 landed from Japan sometime last year.   Contact jessestreeter.com for info and quotes. From memory the navara gearbox needs input shaft machined down as I looked into a while back and there's a thread somewhere here from 2018-2021 about it. Depends on what your doing with the car maybe worth the dollars to go cd009 or a 8hp50/70.
    • VCAM doesn't really increase peak power, it just widens the powerband. So if you were giving up power with adjustable cam gears to get better low-end response yes in theory it "increases power" but otherwise not really. Stroker kit might put you in a more efficient region of the compressor map which will get you more power but at say 7000 rpm I'm not sure that much will change. The original HKS GT2530, -5s, and GTX2860R gen 2 are all roughly the same kind of turbo. If you want 600 horsepower those are the turbos you need. So 500 whp. Just expect to spend some quality time trying to figure out intake/exhaust piping. The "twin turbo" pipe is an obvious place to start. Make sure the actuator preload and all of that fun boring stuff is set up correctly. Throw a VCAM step 2 at it if you want good response, 2.8L stroker too. If you're not actually wedded to 500 whp all the time you can barely get there with -7s or Nismo R3 turbos, you just have to run E85 or race gas and run them hard:
