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.

FOUND THE CAR!!!! IN SLACKS CREEK!!!! FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS BEING HIDEN THERE TILL THE OWNER GETS BACK FROM HOLIDAYS. nEXT PHONE CALL IS FAIR TRADING.

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS BEEN HELPING ME.

I dont understand what they were thinking....

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?

Karen

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh so now its been located (congratulations), what do i do with this 12 guage shot gun, hacksaw and 50 rounds of happiness + bottle of jonny walker?

good stuff. keep us all updated on how it goes.

after you've blown them out of the water, can you let the community know who these doggggy people are?

=)

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.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
