Aw man thats f**king awesome!! I guess whoever stole it realised how far over they were! Question: How are they getting back to Perth lol?

Anyway, thats such good news, real happy for you man, the gem in WA's crown has been found. Sucks about the radio and windows, but atleast it is in one piece. Details!?

Just got back from Albany 2 weeks ago, the guy probably didnt know how to cope with all the round-abouts and wanted out lol.

Best of luck fixing the car Kelvin, and selling it if youre still going down that path... Make sure forensics check out the car, see if the thief left any evidence in there

Hey guys, sorry for the lack of updates as my laptop was stolen as well so it's pretty hard coming onto the forums.

Anyway, the good news is that it's been found!! Received a call from the police at Albany police station to notify me that they've found my car. It was found at the side of some road in Albany. Asked about the condition and the cop told me it was "not too bad", just that the windows and stereo was taken out, maybe the electronic stuff as well. Will call them first thing in the morning tmr to find out the exact condition as well as arrange to bring it back to Perth where it belongs :laugh:

Spoken to Kelvin, have let him know i spotted it at 11am yesterday morning while leaving albany heading home to perth.

Have also posted up on AlbanyModifiers to help kelvin out, someone should hopefully spot it, a very nice car nothing like it in albany.

fingers crossed for ya mate, chris

Big thx to chris who spotted my car along albany hwy which might have lead to the discovery of my car. Also to all those who had helped me spread the word in a matter of hours! Really touched to see the outpour of support from the car enthusiast community here in WA.

Big thanks once again to everyone. I will update you all on the condition once I have seen it in person. Also, could anyone please update the other car forums as well (ie perthwrx, silviawa, perthrotary, wahonda and others that I may have left out as I don't have an account with them) as I don't want to be chased and stabbed driving that car back!! haha

Anyway I will be looking to install a keypad alarm as well as a GPS tracking unit once I have it back and if anyone has any contacts for that pls let me know. Thanks!!

Cheers,

Kelvin

Oh thats freakin awesome! I was scared they were just going to hide it in a garage and strip it to its bones!!!

Hopefully theyve done minimal damage. And hopefully the f***ers are caught...and shot.

Good luck with seeing it, i'm hoping for minimal damage for you!!!

Hey, Kelvin. Only just seen this, as I have not been on the forums much lately. Glad it has been found and I hope there is not too much hassle in getting it back up here and getting it fixed. So sorry to see it has happened to you - everyone has said such a nice car, but such a great guy too! Life ain't fair, at times.

GPS Alarm - the type that phones you when things are awry - I know that Danny at Imports 101 can get them fitted ... ... .... ... which I might just be doing very soon!

It sounds like the back of the truck to a good workshop fior a thorough check is the go. They sound like they were f#ckwits, but check they did not put sugar in the tank or any crap in the engine oil. If the Power FC is gone, I have the factory ECU from mine, which you could borrow, if that helps at all.

All the best, mate.

Cheers.

      Returning after a long time!

      By Shizu · Posted

      I havent bought a manual cover for the dash yet and no cluster change, won't bother me too much, I just need to get that auto box gone, manual in! I miss my manual. 🤪. We started last weekend and managed to get the box out. Planning to start putting it in this weekend and then order a single piece tail. We were super careful to take time and not damage anything. It's my first time working under the car.  With my S15 mainly worked in the bay. This time, it was a headache because of three or four bolts only. They simply didnt want to leave thei homr and the one securing the tailshaft, another above the GB, and the one securing the lipstick was a shit. Mates mate, Davo caught fire 🤣, nearly opened his chest up with a grinder 🤦🏽‍♂️ and both mates nearly had a plate from the box land and slit their head open. Fun times. We all survived. Not the easiest working with limited access on jackstands. As I'm sure we can agree these are the memories which make us love our car. For all three of us, was an awesome weekend and Sunday 3.30am before tools down was a fantastic effort. I need to upload pics, but looks like it needs to be via Url now. We used to be able to just upload pics back in the day. It's been that long! 🤪 Im currently spraying rustoleum under body, not because it's rusted. It's super clean, but just so it's protected for the next 10 years. There was a few surface rust spots. Which pretty much wiped off with a 3M scourer.  Really impressed with how well the previous owner maintained it. Bank account went down so quick! Service, then GB - managed to get a spanking new 34 genuine box from Nissan. All the rest of the conversion parts from Kudos.  Went with a Nismo short shifter. New pedals and Exedy Clutch and FW. Ordered the Prp Rear Main Retainer kit which should arrive Friday and my first engine mod part just like I did with my S15 will be the Tomei Expreme Turbo Outlet. Already on order. It'll likely sleep next to me on a pillow during the coming months. 🥰 Last build was on my JET200GT profile and on SAU and Hardtuned I had documented the build. Planning to try to do that again. Brands feel scarce now. Wish we still had ARC and Apexi parts readily available. Exhaust - need some advice on this. I had an Apexi exhaust on the S15 and loved the tone. My mate had a HKS HP Silent on his 33 and suggested I go with that to avoid drone. I can't remember hearing an RB25DET running that so will likely need to wait for a meet or something to hear it.  Not after big power, just enjoy building it, and drivability with minimal negative attention.
