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!

now that you told the world what to expect in your car !!!! , the crims can plan the disable of your GPS ...geez

when will people learn do not discuss what is in your car , alarms wise on forums !!!! not too wise

yes even gps can be foiled in a big hurry if you know its in the car.

feel like I live in Mexico with the amount of car theft in Adelaide, gotta be first at something ,, must be car theft hey ???

    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers)
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
    • A couple of notes about the TCM. Firstly, it is integrated into the valve body. If you need to replace the TCM for any reason you are following the procedure above The seppos say these fail all the time. I haven't seen or heard of one on here or locally, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. Finally, Ecutek are now offering tuning for the 7 speed TCM. It is basically like ECU tuning in that you have to buy a license for the computer, and then known parameters can be reset. This is all very new and at the moment they are focussing on more aggressive gear holding in sports or sports+ mode, 2 gear launches for drag racing etc. It doesn't seem to affect shift speed like you can on some transmissions. Importantly for me, by having controllable shift points you can now raise the shift point as well as the ECU rev limit, together allowing it to rev a little higher when that is useful. In manual mode, my car shifts up automatically regardless of what I do which is good (because I don't have to worry about it) but bad (because I can't choose to rev a little higher when convenient).  TCMs can only be tuned from late 2016 onwards, and mine is apparently not one of those although the car build date was August 2016 (presumably a batch of ADM cars were done together, so this will probably be the situation for most ADM cars). No idea about JDM cars, and I'm looking into importing a later model valve body I can swap in. This is the top of my TCM A couple of numbers but no part number. Amayama can't find my specific car but it does say the following for Asia-RHD (interestingly, all out of stock....): So it looks like programable TCM are probably post September 2018 for "Asia RHD". When I read my part number out from Ecutek it was 31705-75X6D which did not match Amayama for my build date (Aug-2016)
    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
