If anyone has information relating to the whereabouts of this car or parts that maybe sold from it, we would appreciate hearing from you.

Yeah I dunno, I wasn't given any of those details... Kinda sucks... a picture would go down well... It's hard to tell if a car has a Plazmaman plenum from the other side of the street...

I got a similar email from the owner of the car :P

just a little bit of additional information:

To my knowledge, there are only 2 sets of GReddy in-cabin adjustable coilovers in the country, mine and one other set. Also, the Plazmaman Intercooler is a big sucker, and I’d be surprised to see a great deal of these around as well. So these would be something to keep an eye out for.

Look it should be a well known fact now that some organised crime people are currently focused on stealing performance type cars in the Shire area generally. AFAIK they are currently driving a white camry. Don't know what year model. This will change. Just not leaving your car at any mall carparks will go a long way towards keeping it safe.

      Coolant leak?

      Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.

      Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.

      Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo

      Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
