I have both my build plate and my compliance plate removed and issued with a new VIN number with exemption of compliance plate paper work, difference is SA police stuffed up and removed them by accident.

Ring vehicle standard and they will either answer your question or put you onto the people who can, you will probably need to fill in an exemption of compliance plate form and go through regency.

So it's going to be like I have to go back and get the car re-complied type thing??? Hope it's just the sticker or it was just put on the other car so it will be put back, do you think SAPOL will put my stuff back in my car or just wack it all in the boot and I'll have to do it? Hope they don't take too long heaps keen to get it back and on the road again ;)

UPDATE!

Hey guys do just had a call from the cops telling me my car is ready, that is the good news. The bad news is any parts they thought had been taken off from my car and put on this f***ers car they could 'prove' that they are mine so I apparently have no passenger seat, and a handful of other interior parts and no ignition,as for other parts I have no idea but the cop assured me I would be happy :/ anyone had this prob with the parts or anything? I just want my parts back :/

when you get it back, start engraving the vin number onto as many parts as you can, so in future there will be no denying whats yours (or invest in some data dot spray)

Got the car today, covered in thy black sh*t they use for finger prints, missing or needs the following things

Left front indicator

Horn

Battery

Front seats

Floor mats

Ignition

Left mirror

Left sun visor-who takes this??

Gear stick knob

Face of the cd player

Number plates

Compliance plate

Front grill

The interior was f****d wires everywhere, all plastics pulled out was a mess. Over all happy to have the car back to start the process of getting it back to the way it was before

f**k i hate car thieves, they should be punished very harshly when it comes stealing other people's shit and ruining it!

You would have worked very hard for that car i'm sure, then comes along some shit kicker low life scum and takes it from you :rant:

Unfortunately no insurance so I'm glad to have the car back, insurance ran out bit over a month before the car was stolen, was stupid not to renew it but with bills and other excuses I didn't and I've obviously learnt from my mistake been told by that many ppl but hey no ones perfect I know I certinally am not, got the car started yesterday runs fine no issues with the engine just need to get some standard parts to get it back through regency to get a new compliance certificate and then new rego etc and insurance, new alarm, new kill switch and a club lock

I got a good alarm installed 2 weeks ago by George on my 34 and also got a club with 'apparent' cover (i.e they pay your excess if it gets stolen with the club lock on - 1 year from the purchase). The same guy wont come back, but who knows the number of skyline theifs walking around.

Glad you got it back mate - I'm sure it will all smooth out. Look 4 or 8 weeks into the future and you will forget the car was even stolen!!

At the end of the day my excess was going to be $3000 if I made a claim on mine (due to age, higher premium, theft cover, under 25 bla bla bla all BS), so you might come out better off in the end.

Thanks mate, did you use a specific polish to get all that finger print stuff off??

They apparently 'detailed' my car when it was repaired after being stolen, and I could still see marks from all the fingerprint dust and other misc scratches from the theft/time in the impound yard/being carted around on the tow truck. It' s really depressing when you give it a wash when you get it back and notice all these new scratches and chips on the bodywork, especially when you've spent so much time maintaining the car... I feel for you mate, but give it a good clay bar and polish and touch up any of the more obvious chips/scratches and hopefully it'll be as good as new.

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
