I live near slacks creek and will keep an eye out for it. I will let you know if I come across anything. If it was out to get repairs and such and if you know what was being done maybe try looking around some of the workshops on Moss Street. Also there is a few workshops on the road that runs behind Big Gun Butcher in Springwood, I will go for a drive tomorrow and check out some places for you.

Im in Melb and im so cut about this, if i had enough cash in the bank id be up there tomorrow at that yard on your behalf,

along with a bucket of paint stripper, baseball bat, Gafer tape and last but not least a Tarp.

id get you back your car or the location of it.

But yeh im really sad for your loss....and truly hope it gets soughted out sooner rather than later.

also the adress might come in handy as ill be up that way in a few weeks to meet Ryan.R34 for a golfing weekend, we might have to pop in i think.

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 .

saw that car in cleveland yesterday (or one VERY close to t.) actually (caltex on shore st) didn't think twice about it.

If your keen I am personally ready to come down and do what ever I can, it would seem that you could easily get 50ish people from the forums to come along at the same time. We could be a little forceful in our approach and with the numbers they ain't gonna play up.

SAU Queensland cruise to the car yard this all happened at? Who is up for it??

I havn't been to a cruise yet but this would be a good excuse to go to my first.......

I'll try and keep an eye out in the southside area if it comes north of logan but unless it's being driven around in peak our traffic I ain't going to see it....... :(

PM the car yard name to me please someone. Has anyone else tried calling this car yard yet (from the forums)? Are they still trading/when are they open? What have they offered as a most recent excuse to why the car cannot be located (other than their employee is on holidays?) are they saying they just can't find it despite their efforts to look? These people are breaching serious laws. Without even going into possible issues of how they obtained the car, there are major violations of the Trade Practices Act for amongst other things deceptive conduct for the manner in which it sounds as though they sold the car. Likely conversion and failure to retain posession under Property Law, not to mention possible contract and other legal problems. They are in deep, something very dodgy is going on and don't be told otherwise, workshops aren't this careless without knowing the consequences. Get down there, take people with you, police are the best option and start making demands. Start threatening legal action, threatening media publicity, threaten everything you can and more, because the way things seem to be heading you're going to end up on the wrong side of an insurance claim.

Call TT and ACA if you're not getting anywhere....i'm serious.

Keep us updated.

Matt

could i get a pm with the yards name? might be the same one we had some trouble with.

also, if i see it, ill follow it and call the police. i will also (free of charge) record any video footage of police brutality and or pepper spraying for sau's amusment. but but, no need to thank me, thats just the kind of person i am.

on another note, the plates would most likley be changed if they're driving it around. any other unique features that would identify it easier?

Juding by the photos a couple things to look out for would be the body kit, black bonnet, playboy bunny sticker on the bonnet (if it is still there).

Also I have updated my signature to try and help.

[Edit]

I have also noticed a small sticker on the bottom of the passangers door in that photos, I am unable to make out what it is.

I'm all up for angry mob @ car yard on Saturday morning... That would drive me mad, I would have called the police and reported it stolen and refused to move off the yard until I got my car back... I'd also get some mates to come join me and make a scene (pref call media of sorts also).

Well, keep us upto date! I'm sure everybody is willing to show up for support!

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
