Cover note - ring up insurance, tell them car details, request insurance, they give you a reference number, you have a week or so to pay the bill (but are not obliged to pay, you can cancel). No insurance is silly.

When was it when you saw it there?

Yeah, I can confirm I've seen it in Melbourne.

Not in Springvale though - more so in Noble Park... that back bar and side skirts... I swear I've seen it.

If I were you, I would contact the Victorian Police and give them your VIN number... they'll put it on their register... so if they randomly pull people over with a similiar description, they can do a check... don't worry, in Springvale/Noble Park area - cops pull Skylines over all the time, You should be able to find it quick... good luck...

It was driving pass Springvale road towards the lights leading to Noble Park station... the driver was an Asian guy in his late 20's - looked like a street-wise kinda dude... I remember, as he pulled up to me and wanted to drag me - the Mrs. and I joked about how he would have no chance so I remember quite clearly... hope your brother gets his car back mate... ring the cops asap!!

Are you nuts? Are you advising his to commit insurance fraud? You know what the penalty is - 4 years jail and a criminal record for 15 years - stop being silly. :P

I should keep my eyes out. I'm around the Noble Park area and to be honest, I haven't noticed any black 33 like that.

I'm hoping that the guy in Noble just happened to have the same taste in kits etc.

Well we can confirm the guy is in the south-east! I saw the car again. WITH NO PLATES! Heading in the opposite direction on Springvale road at 1am.

Thanks mate. Am getting the VIN number and will be calling and email the Victorian Police.

What was the front bumper like? Cos that was down to the fiber glass and primer.

I'm hoping that is the case with the same kit too.

Well we can confirm the guy is in the south-east! I saw the car again. WITH NO PLATES! Heading in the opposite direction on Springvale road at 1am.

What was the front bumper like? was it the same and was it down to the fibregalss and primer still???

can't believe no 1 actually followed him when they saw it

not to confront him but until he gets home or something.

That'd be great if anyone does see it to follow it and call the cops PLEASE.

I reckon my brother would be up to giving a reward if it is found.

Update: Last weekend 5/01/08 at approx 1:24pm, I saw the same car again - I drove after it this time... but unfortunately, the day saw heavy traffic, so I lost him... it's definitely your car, looks exactly like the one in the picture... however, it had some plates on it this time... i only got the first two letters, and please please do not hold me to this as it was from a distance, but it think it was " P L .... " something something...

The guy definitely lives in the Noble Park area - what you should do is this... call the cops, then with their support, put up pictures of your stolen car all over the area, e.g. NP Coles, community centres, schools, unis etc... he'll get caught sooner than later... but, with different plates, I don't know....

I know this is bad... keep at it mate.

holy shit why the f**k was it even on the road without insurance?

thats nothing but trouble

at least its still in one peice driving around and has been torn apart and sold off in parts

EDIT: Put up signs in the area he lives in and u will find the car will just disapear off the face of the earth. Its not the best idea i personally wouldn't put up signs just spend alot of time in that area prepared. Honestly the cops dont really search for these things so may as well take it into ur own hands

Putting up signs would be a bad idea, Because once he knows that people are onto him why would he drive the car? I know if i stole a car (never would) i would not be driving it around for ages more so if people from the area know its here.

But on the plus side people in his street might see the signs and report him so i can go both ways for you.

IMO try the police with pics ect and the locations its been spotted.

First of all i hate nothing more than people who steal our fine ass cars, and i know that they just treat it like crap anyway.

I wouldnt be putting up any posters though, dont know what the area is like but if there isnt to many servo's around maybe get them in on it, he has to fill up sometime just a matter of where.

Anyway all the best in finding the car, if ya get him before the cops do give him a royal beating :(

What kind of dumb thief would steal a car, go to another state/city and drive it there? I think it's just a coincidence that the car spotted in Noble Park is similar to the one reported stolen.

Anyway, I'll keep an eye out for it. I live in the area so it shouldn't be too hard to spot it more than once.

Thanks guys for your help. Will get onto the police stations around there. Did the front bar still have primer and all grey still or have the f*****s painted it back to black?

Still got my hopes up but cant say the same for my brother :)

    • 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.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
