i saw this car near the spoiler shop in myaree at 3pm...its passed me

cant be much more help than that sorry ;)

driver and a passenger..caucasian males

EDIT: looking at the pics the car pictured is more red than the one i saw today..maybe its the camera..the car i saw was a flat orange bright orange

Heading what way dude? North? South?

turning down marmion off norma..it was heading nth

that was quite a while ago...im not sure on the exact time we saw it. Im almost positive it was after 2pm.

Was he driving it just before 2pm? with a passenger?

Sorry to hear about it, but as i said im not much help - i just remember it crossing my path and thinking "nice looking 180" ..was driving my mates maloo and they crossed in front of me.

good luck, will keep my eye out for it. I hate to hear about these things happening ;)

I saw the car around 2.15 comming off the freeway onto charles street heading north, gave dave a buzz and had a chat to him.. poor bugger..

hope they catch the bastards

two reasons it caught my attention a> i know neil who owns the other orange 180 c-red had,and it was pissing along through the lights so it caught my attention in a hurry

Just got back from the owners (dave) house.

The motor starts fine, we added some coolant and cranked it over, it has a exhaust leak (gasket) from the turbo. The boys are there now doing a oil and coolant flush and will find out the outcome later, it all sounds to be correct but wont know for sure.

The genuine M-Sport from bar (brand new) has been crunched, with about 5-7 cracks in it, nothing too bad quite fix-able. The drivers fender is mashed, that needs the be replaced.

They stole the Stereo (head unit, sub, amp, splits) and took off a couple of stickers/badge's off.

The car looks to be in pretty good condidtion, they didnt even do any burn outs! (no rubber over the rear of the bumber)

They didnt catch the theifs, but the cops have a pretty good idea who they are. (Male driver and female passenger in there eirly 20's)

The police said to the owner Dave "along the straights is was too quick, around the courners is the only place we could make up distance."

They also bought out the Police chopper to give chase as well.

Dave is very thankfull to everyone who helped him. :cheers:

It is a worrying trend that alot more cars are being stolen, it's been quiet prevelent over east and it seems to be starting here:( Time to improve car security and carry a big stick in the car;)

The Silvia guys are soon gonna look at a keypad immobilser group buy. basically (for those that dont know) its a 10 digit keypad where you have to put in a pin number to start the car. Good for when theives get your keys.

If SAUWA guys are interested maybe we can get some more buyers here.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
