I'd be checking out VL and Skyline related workshops in your local area. Check if the guys at the shopping centre saw any tow trucks coming in. Something as big as that MUST be on one of their cameras that monitor the front entrances etc.

Also, during compliance they would have taken down your engine code etc, grab all that coz it might be helpful in finding it.

Guys, I can't believe this is happening.

I'm so sorry to hear that the car was stolen, but even as a shell at least you have your baby back.

Just a few things that I suggest:

1. If parking on street, always park where there is foot traffic, and car traffic

2. If parking on street, choose a spot that is visible AND where a tow truck cannot get into

3. Try and spot the money for a car park - better ten bucks here and there rather than lose your car.

Regards are careful, people

id get my ass a crackin and find out if theres footage of that truck in the shoppin centre like someonelse has suggested. report ur engine and vin number as stolen too in the off chance that a skyline comes up in the classifieds with an rb26 implant it can be traced when rego'ed....thats if its still in the state:D

Your Motec would have had a serial number, the crunts that stole your gear knew your car and have access to a workshop/ tow truck.

This sort of thing is seriously fu{ked up.

Make sure you come see me for a paging alarm Steve, that way you can kill them yourself if they try it again.

I NEVER leave my car for longer than 1/2 an hour alone, and only in busy carparks during the day. If i go out i go with some one else or take the wifes lancer. Not worth the heart ache. I feel for you man good luck with the rebuild.

i regard people that steal cars as the lowest life form, there scum, i hope you find these people and they are charged and locked up because they dont deserve to be living with in the community.

Congrates you got the shell back and good luck to you in building your future monster.

As alot of people have said got down all the numbers your can engine numbers and others.

Also contact the shopping center sercuity, police and vic roads about it being stolen.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
