he is about 24 years old with normal build (not skinny, not fat...) about 5" 7' - 5" 9' in height, lebanese background, very bad facial acne, wore a white bumbag and a thick silver chain around his neck, short dark hair and a slight lebanese accent

called me on private, however gave me a contact number for him, however police believe its probably a prepaid or stolen number, so virtually untraceable, is also switched off now.

met him in the city as it was easy for both of us at the time..

flame me as much as you want... but remember, when your selling a car.. you dont expect these things to happen ... and not letting people test drive yoyur car etc, usually leads to no sale!

Ohhhhhhh dood send a pic of the rear of ur car i want to know what it looks like because i think i sore it today by the look of ur profile pics , maybe seen it in endeavour hills on my way to work on james cook dr

Thankyou to everyone who has being keeping an eye out, i appreciate it alot!

guys please don't stereotype... this was just the description of the particular person who stole my car... im not rascist, just stating the facts about this

individual.

as for the person wanting a pic of the rear of my car... its just a completly standard Spec R Aus version 200sx

here it is though

im betting he's just taken it for a joy ride and will probably dump it somewhere once he's done with it

cant see what else he can do with it, its stock standard so he cant strip and sell aftermarket parts

never let anyone "test drive" your car unless 1) your sitting with him and 2) have his license in your hand or atleast take down the details off it

fkn scum i have very little sympathy for people who do this kinda shit, i sure hope he ends up wrapped around a tree or something, but then it'd be a waste of a decent car...

g'luck with the insurance thing if it doesnt show up...

That's terrible. I hope you get a good pay out from insurance.

GTRBOS. What do you want? A medal because you wouldn't let anyone test drive your car? It's not his fault that the car got stolen.

As others have said get the petrol station's footage and hopefully some witnesses that were there and insurance will hopefully sort it all out.

nar mate dont want a medal from ya just wont let anyone test drive my car, idc what you say and what you think if they want a test drive i can take thm on a test drive whether they like it or not mate, i feel sorry for this bloke aswell and yes mate i do understand that he didnt know his car was going to get pinched just like that, i really hope you find it and get it back how it was, will keep a look out

cheers mate

come to think of it i saw an s15 exactly like this with no plates though down near sunshine a few streets off ballarat road cant remember if it had a spoiler or not though?

R u from that area?

it was stolen at 3.30 this afternoon near the westgate bridge... he headed off over the westgate bridge towards the western suburbs,... so if this fits the time frame.. it could well have been my car... did it look all clean and shiny?

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
