Hello there everyone!!

If anyone has seen my R33 skyline in the last 2 days, could you please let me know ASAP.

I gave to hte card yard who i bought it off to get some things fixed on it and knowone there knows where it was taken. The person who organised it had gone on holidays and i need my car back. The car yard is in springwood, so i am guessing it is on that area somewhere. I have called the police but all i can do is report it stolen.

IF you have seen it please let me know as i want my car back. the number plates are AMYLEE

here are some pics

that sucks... will keep an eye out for it pretty hard to miss thoose number plates....

very nice car BTW....

There are a few options that I would take, if you havn't already done so.

1) The car yard should have contact details of the person that went on holidays. Nearly everyone has a mobile these days.

2) Ask the car yard if there is a regular workshop that they use.

3) Try ringing around a few workshops in the local area to see if they know anything.

hmmmm i swear i saw something simular to that coming home from work this week from cleveland.. was near the redland bay exit i was going home to the coast.... didnt get a look at the plates ill keep an eye out though....id be tearing someone a new ass .

Damn, that really sucks... I'll keep an eye out for it! It sounds like either something dodgy is happening, or this is possibly the worst customer service I have ever heard of. This might sound sexist, but have you tried taking a (preferably older) guy with you? Some places still treat women like idiots, and won't take you seriously until a guy starts doing the talking. Might be worth a go?

*puts on mod hat*

Please keep business name/s to PM - I know none have been mentioned yet but the question has been asked, just getting in first :D

Hey Amy,

Sorry to hear of the trouble you're having. As the yard is not answering your telephone calls, have you tried calling with your number set to private? (most mobiles have the option of not sending the mobile number).

If you have and still no joy I would be contacting your local police station and if you can get them to even take your report, I would report it stolen.

By the way, what on earth were they fixing for you to have required your car overnight anyway??

Best of luck,

Karen

If you do eventually get hold of the yard I'd be mentioning things like 'police', 'theft', and 'lawyers' if you haven't already (though I'm guessing you have). It's completely unacceptable for them to not even know where your car is, and ridiculous that the guy who's "gone on holidays" didn't tell anyone or make a note anywhere. If it were my business and something like this happened, I'd be bending over backwards to fix it... it's disturbing that they seem to be doing the exact opposite.

As has been mentioned, file a police report. At the very least this will give you a report number (or case # or whatever), which you can use with insurance if required, or to chase up with the police at a later date.

I don't know if they're likely to give a toss but it might also be worth contacting your insurance company and having them chase it up - as I said they may not care or want to be involved, but it'd be a hell of a lot cheaper for them to do some chasing than to pay out on a theft claim.

I wouldn't be surprised if the "staff member on holiday" in fact crashed the car and it's at a panel shop being fixed.
Exactly. Something doesn't add up here.

I have set my phone on private number and called. They were getting a saragent vin for it and repairing road worthy issues because they didn't get a road worthy done when i bought it

Not sure what you mean by a "saragent vin" (surrogate?) but if they're doing something dodgy with VINs from another chassis, that's farked. Get the numbers and have it checked out (REVS, any other agency you can think of) straight away.

If they didn't get a roadworthy done when you bought it, the car would not have had a legit safety cert, and therefore it was illegal to sell or advertise for sale. If I were you, I'd be demanding the car back IMMEDIATELY, and tell them that you'll take it elsewhere to have it checked over and have repairs carried out as necessary at their expense. It's certainly a lot better for them than having the Office of Fair Trading (or ACA) asking questions about why/how they sold a car without a safety cert, and potentially botched VINs.

just by any chance the owner/manager wouldnt go by the name of mark would he?

A good mate of mine bought a GTIR from an import yard in springwood and has had huge dramas including never being able to get hold of the person in charge for days his car going "missing" lots more things to list.

if it is at the same place you car will more than likely be at XX XXXX XXXX (pm for the name) better not put it up just in case it is a different yard in question,

Cheers,

Dan

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
