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.

    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
