my mates car has just been stolen in the golden grove area. it was taken from the woolies car park at the golden grove village. it is a DARK GREEN NISSAN C33 LAUREL. [XGX-291]. if you see it around ring me on 0438846765 and/or report it to the police.

its a manual, RB20DET silvertop, subtle bodykit and 17" P1 BuddyClubs. these arent the most common car around so please keep a look out. sorry i dont have any better pictures. the car is fitted with an alarm and immobiliser. it is a very distinctive car. it may or may not have the stock exhaust back on. the 3" was taken off recently to get through regency and im unsure if it has been refitted yet.

someone thinks they may have spotted it.

I am 99% certain I just saw that car drift into a parking sign on King William Rd. It tryed to slide the corner but lost it and hit the pole but kept on going. Did'nt think much of it till now. I might have a quick drive just to see if its close. BTW the exact location I saw it was : cnr Greenhill Rd and King William Rd, Hyde Park - 2min east of CBD. will keep a lookout

please keep a look out if your around that area.

im not too sure on details yet, but i doubt the f*ckers were caught. luckily the car did have full comp insurance. i'll update later once i find out some more details. such a shame for this to happen to such a nice, rare car.

Post up full details of the fag, name adrress etc. ;)

***update***

the police have just found the car.

all i know is that it has big damage and an attempt has been made to burn it. it was found at parkside.

thanks everyone for keeping an eye out for it. its appreciated.

Glad it was found...but I bet you are dreading seeing it :D

Hope it isnt too bad!

Post up full details of the fag, name adrress etc. ;)

LOL HI5!!!

***Big Update***

The Bad News:

Sam (the owner) and i went to check out the car today and recover anything that was left. the pictures speak for themselves really, but the insurance company has declared it a write-off. the front bar is a bit smashed, both passenger side buddyclubs are wrecked and there is scrapes and dents all down the left hand side of the car and roof. it doesnt really look *too* bad, but the main damage is inside. they have set fire to the drivers seat which took off fairly well, and they set a fire in the back which didnt really go anywhere. the interior is pretty much ruined. the normal stuff like cd head unit and cd's were stolen from the car.left on the drivers seat was a playing card with a joker on it. im not sure if this is a lame arse attempt at a calling card or what, but for the others whos cars have been stolen this might be a link between the cases.

The Great News!!!

while looking through the car we found a whole heap of stuff that didnt belong to sam. this included 3 pairs of fancy looking sunnies, a CD wallet completely full of asian cd's, a knife, a screw driver, and a syringe. we took this stuff to the police station and they looked up the file and informed us that 2 people had been arrested and charged for the theft and arson of the car. they have hard evidence against the passenger (a female who was caught on video in the car some where), and they have the finger prints of the driver all over the car. the police had spotted the car at 3.30 yesterday on currie street and they gave chase. the report said the car was doing 100kph and driving on the wrong side of the road so the police called off the chase. this would have been shortly before it was spotted on greenhill road hitting the pole. after it was spotted i rang the police and they sent some cars out to that area and it was found soon after. it sounds like they must have been caught while trying to burn it. so a BIG thankyou goes out to the Police and the members of the forums this has been posted on. with out it there was a good chance the car would never have been found and these scumbags would be out targetting some one elses pride and joy.

legal procceedings will take place against the f*uckers to make sure the feel the full brunt of the law. just a heads up for people who may be interested in it, the car will be sold at pickles auction in a few weeks. with a stripped out interior it would make a great track car with its RB20DET, 5 speed, and cusco coilovers. the full exhaust was on the car and will be sold with it.

thanks again everyone, its good to have a result on the car but even better to know the offenders were caught.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
