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...

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
