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.

Guys, I wana say thanks for everyone for helping and giving tips with this whole thing.

also anyone know a place near camberfield or in that side of the town where i can get the ignition unit replace. Im guessing they might have stuffed it up trying to start it.

At least it been found! do you know what kind of condition it is in? for the ignition just go to an auto elec and get them to replace it!

police said theres no damage to it, i havent seen the car yet.

    • GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.
    • Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣
    • I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
    • Ok thanks 🙂 I will higly consider this. Any "known" company for a good reviews and experience to send that off? Is that CJ-motor good one? Or go straight to GCG site? I need to use VPN to even find some of those "shops" let alone access them 🙂 
    • You can literally put in as much WMI as it takes to quench the combustion totally (and then back it off a little, obviously), and it will keep making more and more power. The power comes from the cooling effect of the water (and the meth) and the extra fuel (the meth, which also has massive octane). It is effectively exactly like running E85. One might be slightly better than the other, but they are damn close. But with either you can lean on the boost or the timing (or both) waaaay more than with just petrol and the results are similar. Here's the first thing I googled for an anecdotal bit of evidence. Can't access the attachment without being a gold member, but it is there for the getting if able to, or searched up elsewise perhaps. https://www.hpacademy.com/forum/general-tuning-discussion/show/wmi-vs-e85/
