woohoo! gratz bro. I was freaking out all weekend, not only for you but me too. Some bloody soft drink came rolling down the street at 2am passed my house scared the shit outta me, next think i know I'm wielding a broken off chair leg staring out the window haha)

Scum want to steal my car better bring a tactical squad and something for the dog.

Whew!!! Awesome to hear it's back and in safe hands!!!

I was thinking we shuold somehow do a group buy for keypads... lol Cause i'm definately up for getting one!!!

I think it's fair to say your a very very very lucky man to have the car back in decent condition. Great spotting by the SAU member. Normally people that claim they saw a stolen car are fos. Well done buddy!

Good news :down: A lot better than 2 recently that have ended up being trashed & burnt in the middle of nowhere....

Yeah very strange to drive all that way just to take a stereo & smash some windows, hopefully they didn't do anything else.

Kelvin if I was in your situation I would get it towed back & then everything checked out, all the fluids replaced, anything like that. They could have put something dodgy in somewhere, fuel tank, radiator, anything. I wouldn't risk driving it, especially if they didn't fill it up with 98 to get there....

I hope where it was stolen from was where you are moving out of...not into for if the car is coming back there.

Good luck with getting it all back & repaired :D

Wasn't another fairly high profile car stolen and found in Albany recently? wtf is going on down there..

Simple. F#ckwit lives in Albany - maybe even recently moved there. Has f#ckwit friends in Perth. Comes up to Perth to see f#ckwit friends. At end of weekend, steals car to go home. Steals radio to pay for next trip (paying one way, of course).

A F#ckwit Weekend!

Gotta be a big tick for the Albany coppers in there somewhere, as well as the initial spotter of course, glad to hear the car will soon be back with the owner. :P

Cheers GW

Kelvin I got a couple days off ill be glad to help out getting the car or anything, even tho id agree in getting it over by truck then sussing the whole lot out at a workshop. Hope you can get it back better than ever.

Its a gtr tho, the beast will probably heal itself! haha

Seriously well done to whoever spotted this =]

I read the post, went and bought pizza, and when I cam back it'd been found! Woo!!

Good luck with it all man, hope that it'll live another day to completely and utterly trump my 33 in the Uwa carparks this semester.

    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
