hey everybody how r u?? i havn't been on here for a while as i jus dont have any time anymore but a few of the older ppl know who i am...

Last night between 2am-3am we were broken into, the bastards took various other items like wallets and car keys, they also had my keys, pushed my car down the street, started it and took off using it as the geta-way car...!!! as u will know, im gutted and shattered... i paid cash for that car 2 years ago as a 17y.o... i am an apprentice plumber and earn f**k all a week so i cant afford full comp insurance and yes u guessed it, i dont have it on my 33, so iv lost everything!!

thats why im asking everyone on here to keep a look out in car work shops like mechanics, panel beaters and car yards, or even a truck on its way to Qld...

im absolutely gutted and shattered so to help out a fellow car enthuiast please everyone do the best you can in helping me find it...."

another one...seriously its like one per day over in the east, without insurance like all the others, thats a shame

does the house insurance cover anything?, i know it aint a content in the house

i want that front bar and bonnet...

Hey,

Best of luck finding your car mate.

Might be moving to SA soon...whats the deal--every page on the SA forum has two stolen cars listed. I mean when you guys meet up for a cruise do you end up comparing how many don't have cars anymore? I know lines get stolen alot, but this seems out of control.

I really do not understand why these silly people don't at least have Fire and Theft cover.

It costs bugger all compared to full comp insurance.

When i enquired fire and theft cover only covered about $3000, then they make you get full comp. I tried this with shannons and just car insurance. What company are you with that offers 10K not bad?

sorry to hear, that looks like a nice car, it stand out so hopefully someone will see it. the amount of skylines being taken is pretty bad. Sucks you didnt even have third party like the rest have said, Im with just cars fire and theft and it cost me $580 a year upfront for a 19 year old female driver and pay out is $10k..but sucks because even if my car is taken i still wont find another skyline like mine for 10,

    • Yes to both! Yes to standard ECU and tune, but exhaust is aftermarket. Unsure on brand. Actually have it sitting in at my desk haha! I have to set it up on my laptop but this is a great next step, will do. So I generally try to shift before 4.5K RPM most times. I largely don't do a lot of high-rev driving, but I will take it up to red 1-2x a week max, as I know the occasional "Italian tune-up" is good for these cars.  Oh wow, is this way better than what I'm getting. Does this mean there's a good chance I have an issue?   Thanks for all the info so far guys.
    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
