well I have tried to keep this secret from everyone hoping that maybe my luck will change - of this phuckhead will come to his senses...... and I will get my car back

Anyway - The guy I bought my skyline off illegally sold it to me as it had a Bill of Sale on it for a $30 000 loan. Before you all go "Didn't you ring REVS" yes I knew it was an encumbered vehicle and I had a contract drawn up that he would pay his loan out - this contract is with the police now and is the basis for a fraud charge.

So in a nutshell a truck drove up to my driveway and took my car away while I was in Singapore - and yes they can do that.

This guy was a cop under my Dad's mate (who they went to school together and joined the police force together.. so they are pretty good friends) and he is helping me out, putting charges together etc and advising me.... also i have a lawyer - that was also in the police force with my dad that is helping me. (its a big circle of love). My dads copper mate kicked this piece of sh*t out of the force as well... The guy's bank is being as helpful as possible... but in 2 weeks unless his account is settled, my car will be auctioned off.

To make things worse - this guy has run off to the UK - but I have ensured that when he enters the country he will be arrested in immigration and given the broom stick treatment. He has one fraud charge from me and one from the bank.

I have spoken to his parents and they have no money and I have called this guy in the UK - he keeps telling me its getting sorted, when it isnt.

So there you go - Liz no longer has a skyline but is still paying off one.

Please don't tell me what I should have done or why I didn't do something - that is no use me...

I don't know if ANY of you can help in anyway... I don't know... I am at wits end with this.....

thanks guys

That sucks big time. One has to wonder though, why did you buy a car knowing it had a large some of money owing on it? Surely there are other cars out there similiar to the one you purchased?

I just hope it all works out for you. Though 2 weeks isn't a lot of time. :)

I can't find out how much was owing on it (privacy act) - you assume that the cost of the car would cover the debt.... but the debt isn't for the car - it was used at a Bill of Sale - like colateral or whatever. But the contract covered that. It doesn't matter what I should or shouldn't have done now...

When you buy a car that is financed, usually the deal is they get a pay out figure from the bank, they tell you, you verify it with the bank, and make the bank cheque out directly to the creditor, with the rest going to the seller.

The bank cheque is useless to the guy, he has to pay the loan off with it, if he doesnt, the bank cheque is never cashed and it can all be worked out.

But sorry to hear about it, theres too many dodgy types around, and the down side is that the bank can handle losing that much money, while it makes a big difference to you, and who gets the first pick at assets, the stupid bank.

I don't know what the debt is for... its all tied up in the privacy act. (i mean $30 000 wouldn't ALL be for the skyline) But Police and Nurse bank hold an ownership on the car (like when you have a mortgage), its under REVS, and he was not allowed to sell it. There are too many things to explain.... my head hurts

Deesh - yes I know all this, I am covered by my contract, but that didn't stop him leaving the county. As much as I appreciate it - I don't want people to tell me what I SHOULD have done.... I know.... I want help, advice for what I can DO, or something I don't know

Sh*t hey

Thats TERRIBLE :( no doubt everyone is on your side

All the best in a very tough and upsetting situation.....

Although i cant comment, its probably not worth getting upset over (which is impossible of course!!!) because IT WILL all work itself out :)

Your not the one in trouble, and im sure the bank etcwill realise that you shouldnt come to grief over all this. He's the one who should get reamed.

After it DOES all work out, sit back, relax and break the $%#s kneecaps :)

Good luck

I found out just as I got of the MRT at Bugis Junction in Singapore haha I don't think the singaporeans had heard such appalling language. I think I cried most of the way home on the plane. (poor russ).. I felt so hopeless, being in another country and not being able to do anything

    • Old Son, did you re-use the Holden ABS in the new shell or try a different module?
    • Yeah, nah. I had the actuator rod off it today. The arm will not move at all. Neither out, nor in. Yeah, you'd think so, but I've been thinking about that. Even when the actuator rod fell all the way off at the beginning of this saga, it would build more boost and faster in lower gears than it would in higher gears, and you'd think that that was the opposite of what should happen. But I strongly suspect that there is a thing with the gearing getting the revs to rise faster, that there must be some transient effect with the gas flow rate rising quickly, that you don't get with the more steady state case of the higher gears. Keep in mind - the gate is not shut in either of my weirdnesses. So things are not "normal". We normally think about a turbo spooling up (below the wastegate target) with the gate shut. I have all sorts of mental models running now where the gate is a little bit open, and having it stuck open allowing gas out while it should be going through the turbine has all sorts of weird effects (in these mental models). I'm thinking in the higher gears, the ex mani pressure builds to the point where enough gases spill out the wastegate to just prevent the pressure rising much more at all, or just creeping up, all the whole the revs are increasing and getting closer to the point where a gear shift becomes necessary.
    • Is it possibly wastegate actuator itself is sticking, or even the rod to flapper? Otherwise I reckon things are getting a bit rusty/worn   Also odd it won't boost in 3rd to 5th, but will in 1st, I'd expect the other way around with it slightly open as there's more time on your way to redline for it to spin up
    • Does anyone know ow what these two plugs are for and if they should be unplugged? Just put the dash back together and can't remember if these were plugged in before or unplugged! (Blue and white plugs) 🤦🏽‍♂️
    • Did some FASTing ...got the impression that the actual part# was a moot point ; seems all of these hardlines for coolant are discontinued/NLA... like, I take it you're after the hardline that bolts onto to the manifold...that's NLA according to amayama & nengun .... ...just to clear up some confusion, they typically mounted the AAC valve to the intake manifold somewhere near a coolant passage, so the body of the valve heats up & holds it open when engine's up to temp - no coolant flows through the valve, it's a mechanical, thermal connection.
