The car was stolen from Freda St, Netley on Friday night. It was ready for sale with a fresh black paint job. If anyone has seen the car or know anything about its disappearing act please dump the car without burning it or contact me. Its uninsured so its had a massive impact on my family. Not sure what else to say....

Please look out for it :-(

Its at my partners parents house, no one knows its there. Its deep in the suburb on a quiet street so I have my money on the fact thats its someone or a friend of someone thats drives past it often that is behind it. I really dont care who or why, i just want it back. With a blown gearbox, motor, waxed tyres i dont give a rats.

keep an eyeout on ebay for engine/parts, perhaps chat to jap spare parts importers to keep an eye out for someone offering the rb26dett engine.

sorry to say but In my honest opinion it'd be on the way to being stripped down and parted out

The only way we are going to lessen these getting stolen is for fools to put in decent alarms, kill switches and club locks. Why are people so stupid that they cannot see this.

Sorry for your loss, but you should have known much better.

You are dead right Jenna .... in fact we should tack on the end of that: " and don't come sooking on here if you don't have all 3 of these .... "

I really do feel for people who have their cars stolen - it is a truly terrible thing. But I (like most people) went out and put in a $1k+ pager alarm, and if I park it anywhere remotely suspicious will put on my Club lock AND put on my extra kill switch, and I would NEVER, EVER leave it parked out on the street overnight even with all these things .... yet people leave their cars out the front of other people's house with no alarm or anything then are surprised when it is stolen .... go figure.

Look, I don't want to harp on the poor dudes misfortunes so I'll keep it general.

You may think that just because there is no insurance claim to be made here, that there won't be a ramification to insurance premiums as a result...........WRONG!!

Everytime a Skyline (or any import for that matter) gets knocked off, it becomes a statistic and is therefore logged.

Insurance companies adjust premiums to their clientelle 2 fold; (1). $$ spent in claims (2). the ABS website.

Now anyone else on this forum without at least ONE of these items that Andrew has mentioned (ie. Alarm, tracking device, club lock or even a big dog), please don't complain about other members on here having a go about the obvious, especially after reading this thread and then getting your car stolen.

Please note, I have had a car stolen many many years ago and can therefore feel your pain, so this is moreso aimed at anyone who reads this and still does nothing about it......if you can't afford one of these security measures, you can't afford your car.

/rant....sorry to offend

Yep, I can't agree more Pete! I want other Skyline drivers to protect THEMSELVES - it is just not worth not having an alarm! I know it won't 100% stop a theft, but at least it gives you a chance.

Far out, that's close to home!! That area has been known for a few suspicious activities regarding skylines...if i remember correct someone was actually in their skyline in the front yard one night when another car pulled up (another skyline) and someone tried to break in!! Have the pager alarm and a club lock, so while trying to get in they'll have to trigger off the alarm...plus GPS...so if they do steal it one day, they'll be sure to have someone on their tail within an hour or two!

Will keep an eye out and hope for the best!

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
