Hey guys

my car was stolen from "the Hill" in newcastle either late last night or early this morning.

Its a 1995 maroon skyline, r33 and has a full top secret body kit on it(the ebay kind) running on stock rims.

This has annoyed me very much as it seems to be the only thing of value that i currently own.

The number plates are BLA 58Y

If you see the car and/or any1 in the car please contact

0423828980

Thankyou.

MY CAR HAS BEEN FOUND!!! yay

The police gave me a call not long saying that they where just in cop chase with the guy driving my car though carrington.

The drivers side mirror is smashed, back tires are useless( burnouts id say) and the ignition key hole thingo is f@*ked. which i hope can be fixed with ease.

Also the police officer said they no who the guy was and that they found a pair of his socks in the car..bit wierd, but hopefully thats enough evidence to get the guy as he apparntly bolted fromn the car when he lost them on the straights through carrignton.

So all in all, a stressful 2 days, but im so god damn happy that its back. And my car aint coming back to newcaslte till i get a lock up garage and a better immobilser then what ever was in it to start with.

Good news mate; sucks about the damage but good that you get her back in the end. Make sure you get a good alarm from a reputable installer; and think about putting a hidden killswitch to the fuelpump somewhere too; do that afterwards so only you know where it is.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
