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...

    • thanks mate, one of the reasons I even bought it to be fair.
    • I found parts on EFI Solutions webshop that seemed to be the accurate ones. I haven't gotten around to fitting the turbos back on the car yet since I still have to deal with the shitty crack in the engine block. But I'm confident that the bolts I ordered will fit. According to EFI they are also 7-16/24. The reason M11x1 got involved here is because it is apparently very similar to 7-16/24.
    • Well, to be fair to the car I've driven it daily for almost a decade now, although in that time only put on 50k, as it just recently passed 100k miles early this year. For the most part its been fine because I've been able to source parts from AUS like jacks jdm and a few places in Japan, some things like pads have been easy since 300z pads swap right in... I realize its probably at that time in its life i should find a new DD (but I rent and only have so much space, no garage) so new cars just complicate things. As it is older though, I recognize its about that time as with my '67 GTO to maybe side step and find an alternative, but if i can keep driving it... I want to.   That said, I may just look into a local shop that might be able to, problem is the mechanic I work with has limited space as a mom and pop operation, and he's a busy busy man, so id need to find out if he can keep the car in the meantime, which may or may not be practical for him. Maybe I'll just buy one off jacks jdm and get that refurbed /shrug.. just looking at options and what others may have to offer for advice on the matter. Like I said, its hard finding people around here who actually have one, I've had mine 9 and a half years and I've met 3 others, and they are all military, one was oem from 95 with 30k miles (rip that car... guy got hit after someone crossed s double yellow, totaled it)
    • I've noticed my rear springs sag a bit compared to the fronts. I have stock springs and KYB struts. The front wheels are pretty consistent in their ride height, but compared to the front wheels, one of the rears sits 20mm lower, and the other 40mm lower. This negatively affects the ground clearance, and also angles the headlights up. What are some some economical options for new springs? Or information like good spring rates, lengths  in order to find a suitable replacement etc Far from lowering the car, I'd prefer to raise it a bit to keep it ground clearance friendly.
    • I searched for ages as well, I'm importing an engine to get the head off it.
