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.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
