im feeling for skylinechick, and this whole situation is fishy as

but really, an angry mob from the internet?

so we turn up with pitch forks and torches, then what?

Yeah sounds a bit of overkill but the police say all you can do is report the car stolen.... Bugger that... these guys need some preasure put on them. If this was done to a young Lebanese guy the yard would already be just a hole in the dirt. The least we can do is rock up and ask some questions and try help her out.

With some luck they might see how serious the matter is when there is loads of support from others in the import car scene. Not knowing who the company is exactly but guessing that they are an import car yard, it can't be good for business to have that many people knowing about your stuffups and the potential intimidation to resolve the matter can only be a good thing.

I think the average Skyline owner is past the aggressor mindset that you are hinting at, well I hope so.

Yeah,

I think the biggest point is that fact that it wont be taken lightly, there will be a lot of support for her.

Come on people.. how would you feel if you didnt know where your baby was? i would be gutted.

Also i think the biggest issue will be the good ol word of mouth.. cause i would make sure this never happens to a mate of mine so i would steer them faaaaaar away from this group.

I hope its just the most pathetic customer service ever amy... good luck

Thank you so much everyone, @ people have seen it a slakcs creek. It wasnt getting repairs done because the car yard refused to fix the stuff wrong with it until they got the complaince thing sorted. I when down to moss st yesterday afternoon and look around. i couldnt see it anywhere. I have the number of the company people have seen it around i am going to ring them right now.

As soon as i get the car back i am going to fair trading. these people are going to pay for what they have done and put me thought the last new days.

But thanks again to everyone.

Amy,

So pleased to hear that you have located your car ;)

"Until the owner gets back from holidays" WTF.... :(

I would most definitely be making lots of calls now. Don't let them get away with this. Is anything missing from your car? How many extra kays are on it?

congrats on finding it... could i please get a PM with the name of this caryard so i know never to use them?

if this isn't resolved by next week, i'm actually on holidays, and will be rather bored, so i would be free to come down to the caryard to provide 'moral support'* if you have anything you wish to say to them

*by moral support i mean i'm a rather large scary guy

Great news to hear you got it back!! It'll cost you a few dollars but I would immediately have the locks changed on the ignition, both doors and the boot, and have a new alarm installed. You don't know whether they've made copies of the keys, recoded remotes or done anything to the security of the car. Have the whole car checked over with a microscope. Send them the bill or add the costs to the lawsuit or insurance claim as appropriate, just get it done.

Gratuitous plug ahead... If you don't already have someone you trust to sort out the alarm, Chris Rogers from Audio Express will be able to help you, he's absolutely trustworthy and will come to you - the car doesn't have to leave your yard. He's worked on approximately 11ty billion Skylines too so knows them inside out, and is an SAU Qld club sponsor.

Please keep us updated, I personally would love to see the person/s responsible for this ridiculous situation get raped by the legal system. And yes, curiosity has managed to get the better of me, can someone please PM me some details on the yard? :(

I still don't really understand what happened here. Why did the car yard get the car back, and why wasn't it returned to you? Is the car sold? Why are they waiting for the owner to come back from holidays? I don't understand how people took your car from you, and then just refused to return it. Who had it at slacks creek? Is the car legally yours?

So many questions.

Can somebody explain this to me like i am five year old? (had to use that Jerry McGuire line, even if it was uttered by Tom Cruise, may he burn in hell)

Hey can someone PM me the details, cause it sounds f**ked.

And let me know or someone make a topic or something on if we are going to visit someone sometime. We need to have a chat to some this guy.

Really great to hear you got your car back Amy, we are all here to help so. If you need back up then let us know.

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
