1987 SL VL Commodore 5 Speed

Parked at Epping Station at 7.30am

Came back at 12 noon today, and I see an R31 Skyline P plater in my spot.

Tried to look for anything left behind but didn't find anything, as the rain poured down like crazy!

note: these pictures are a few months old, the car has venetians & rear S2 grey headrests.

I only have 3rd party insurance.

Clublock wasn't used (I know!)

I have Solex locks which probably got ripped out anyway.

I just want my car back please!

Cops are looking...

When I saw the colour and the venetians mentioned before the pics loaded (connection is a little slow here), I thought I might have seen it on Monday night on White St, Parkdale. There was a brown one with those blinds on the windows that went past me on a P plate.

As it happens it was a wagon with the venetians not a sedan, same colour though.

Sorry to hear mate and hope you do find it. :)

Car has been recovered at 12 noon today at McDonald's carpark (suburb unnamed). Great work from the police.

I am relieved that I got it back, cuz that was the worst 24 hours of my life.

The fancy things were stolen, but the car is undamaged and roadworthy.

All Sony gear were ripped out, Autometer gauges/tacho, aluminium gearknob, 2 air fresheners, and 3 pairs of shoes.

They travelled 50km.

Thanks to he guys that helped look out for my car, made me feel much better.

Good to hear you got it back mate

Also good to hear someone giving credit to the police rather than just slandering them and calling them useless :O

they are useless tho, the police didnt find it, there was a reported abandoned car most likely, and they were called to check it out ...

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
