Sorry to hear :( Yeah as others have said it would have had to of been a tow truck job. It seems this is just how its done now days. I'd be calling all the nissan wreckers in phone book. One of my mates had his ae86 stolen from outside his house one day. It was towed and he called every toyota wreckers in the area. He found it in Epping, it was stolen from Rowville.

did the insurance endup covering it?

No idea, i spoke to the investigator they sent out yesterday, he went to knock on my neighbour's doors to ask, and he might want to interview my housemates, and my ex, and the previous owner of the car.

wants to see my phone records, run a credit check on me, run a police check on me and all sorts of things like that.

might want to know what i'm having for dinner tonight, i might point them to the "what i ate today" thread in the wasteland though.

the police did asked me to go ask the neighbours but that was last night and i didnt wana go around knocking on peoples houses at 8pm. Figured i might do it on the weekend.

phone records? what good are they?

seems a bit extreme for a car thats not very expensive.

either way i think ill wait to see what the police say, if they find it in good condition i dont see why i should go claim it.

I think you're supposed to report the theft of the car to insurance anyway.

I have no idea what good phone records are for. But well, if they want it, i'll let them have it.

does it matter when i report it to the insurance though? i much rather not claim it if the cars in a drivable condition.

Can someone enlighten me about if any car theft ever made to the news headlines before? Because something's smells fishy.

Hesh. No point asking why your neighbours did nothing when they're like 15m from your home. One of my previous rented places had a neighbour throwing a party one night up til 3am and the noise was so loud that I reckon it could be heard 20 m from that house. And guess who was the only one who called the police? Me. No others. No one else cared. And the noise was so bad that the two officers who came had to literally smash on the front door and the windows to get some attention. Do your neighbours ever say hi to you at any time? If not, don't pin any hopes on them cause I wouldn't.

<br>but really, why target old cars like outs?<br>
<br><br>on the contrary me thinks. i think most of the time older cars are a lot easier to steal so a small number of d!ckheads steal them and just bum around in them for a week as a means of transport then dump them somewhere. one of my friends dad's had his commodore (was a VT so thats 10-13 years old) broken into just to have the contents of his glove box emptied on the driveway (what does that achieve?). a lot of people might think "my cars old/cheap, it's not worth stealing" but on the flip side, its probably an easier target.<br><br>anyway, sorry to hear man and i hope its still in good condition when you get it back.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
