Hi all

I have found a abandoned skyline, I wont say what type, or where on the northside, but I have reported it to police and they are looking into it. If you have lost a skyline RECENTLY (found tonight - car seems fairly intact, possibly a joyride? Definatly abandoned.) please post here what type, if it match's ill PM you with more details.

I dont want to say more incase I tip someone off that the police may be onto them. However I am posting this beacuse while the police seemed intrested in what I have to say, the QLD police's track record with this stuff isnt great.

Thanks

Ian

got news for ya mate..

it was still there this morning at 6:15am when I drove past.

window open and all.

Shouldn't we organise with the Police to pick the thing up and store it for the owner temporarily, we are a Skyline Club and would be doing a service or would that be touching on legalities ? Just a thought don't flame me. :)

We cant touch it at all...

If we touched it, thats stealing... Even if you have the best intentions in mind, you cannot tuch it without the owners concent...

We dont know why its there the owner may have just run out of fuel and is coming back for it, or the owner whats it stolen to claim insurance, who knows...

The police know its there and thats all we can do apart from sit on the side fo the road and watch it until someone comes to get it...

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
