ok, can somebody PM me with the car yard.

I know a guy who is very high up in Main Roads in the traffic inspection area.

I'll see if i can get hold of him for u Amy. (he is VERY busey man)

I used his services about 4 years ago and got a workshop shut down for dodgy roadworthies... and they still to this day have not paid for the repairs! (thats another story!)

AFTER you get ur sweeet ride back, do all import drivers a favour and ring ACA and today tonite.. even a very large news paper! let everbody know about these jerks.

I think I saw ur car in the area that u found it.. i was checking out the rear apron on it! Nice car!

I travel from Brizzy to Hearvey Bay weekly for workl. I see lots of nice imports.. I remember things that nice!

Well, at least you found it! GPS tracking for your car hey?

Aaron

got it back. WE think the km's have been wound back. the front bar has cpme off on one side (going down driveways). Other then that everything seems ok. i got a GTR wing out of it so far. but we will wait until the owner comes back from holdidays

any new developments?

one thing I just remembered reffering to the car yard in question,

Back when it was melb cup day my mates car was back for like the 10th time to be fixed (same problem every time) he had aranged with the owner of the yard to have his car dropped off to him at work (because he refused to drive the totaly unroadworty POS Loan car any more)

Anyway come 5pm my friend call to make sure the car will be dropped off and the receptionist informs him that "the boys have had a few too many to drive, you will have to come pick it up yourself" at this he became very pissed as this meant asking his boss to leave early yet again

None of this mattered anymore as minutes later he got a call back from the receptionist saying that the car was on its was, his comment to her was so a couple of drunk guys a driving my car back? there was silence on the other end...

Sure enough his car came screaming into his work place driven by the guys that had a few too many to drive... the car smelt of clutch/brakes as though it had just been thrashed... what more can you say...? and it was still playing up!

Anyways the end of the story to date is his car is now fixed by another mechanic and has been trying to get reimbursement from the said car yard, will see what happens as he dropped off a 4 page letter of demand yesterday and plans on taking them to court as it cost around $600 to get it running right.

should post the name of the business. it sounds fair that everyone knows the name of the company as someone this dodgy should not be in business. if they go out of business so be it!!

Think of how many people you could stop this from happening to. something to think about......

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
