Hey Guys,

Like the thread says my car was stolen from Bruce CIT last wednesday. Its a very dark blue / black R31 Series 3 four door. Its registered NSW ARQ90N, its got gold 17"Drifteks, R32 front brakes and a big exhaust system. Some recent pics:

Please keep an eye out for it or any R31 parts on the cheap in the canberra area, as they will most likely part it out. My contact details are 0404303954 or 44713486.

Thanks all

Well we found the last R31 stolen, so a good chance this one will be found ( probably minus the nice looking wheels)

Seems to be alot of them being taken lately. Shame about the wheels aye? yeah the new tyres too. A Jihad on them!

that place is bollocksed for damage / stolen cars it happens non stop there, you would think that they would hire a plastic cop by now. Any ways you all know my feelings on the matter of theft of cars.... Hand chop go and work you junkie freaks then you can buy what you want instead of stealing it.

Jesus, I'm really sorry to hear that your car got stolen. I didn't post this on the threads but about 9 months ago I had some car troubles and I bought an R31 to get me around (it was a car that the R31 club would be fairly familiar with) and some lil' bastards decided that the weekend after the Queen's B'day weekend it would be a good idea to prize my boot open and fill it will fuel and fireworks... whole car... ruined.

I wish you the best of luck in recovering your baby.

man thats shit news. good luck with finding it, one of my old school friends had his r31 stolen after he put in a sound system. he found it a week later minus the stereo, cit car parks are usually a gold mind for wankers like that.

Hey guys car turned up in Hume, intact but with a blown diff. Its very dirty, but the wheels and stereo are intact and everything else seems to be there. Thanks for keeping a look out. At least they had the decency not to burn it out, which is really lucky. No skyline that i own will ever go back to that carpark, thats for sure!

BTW, shit to hear that Adrians car got wrecked, another one to add to the seemingly kilometre long list of stolen/wrecked R31s...

I was pretty annoyed when I found out what happened to mine. Luckily most of its parts are still within the club.

Glad to hear you got the car back. Its so slack when people burn cars since most of them aren't worth having insurance on so you lose a whole heap of money.

Yeah i hear ya Adrian, i had no chance of affording comprehensive insurance so i needed that car back. Lucky the junkies left the window down when they dumped it so the smell wafted out! Too bad they couldnt turn off the lights so the battery wouldnt drain...

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
