They found it today everyone! out in West Croyden with a bunch on clothing, cigarettes,USB, Holden jacket (typical) and sunglasses in it. With apparently no cosmetic damage apart from broken window and ruined ignition barrel. But I will get to see it tomorrow after TAFE,

Thank you everyone for your help! and would be keen on one of those GPS trackers! :)

It apparently was used in multiple high speed pursuits over the weekend, so I am mechanically worried and about possible damage. Is there anything I should specifically look for when i go examine it for any damage?

Great news man!

I'd probably do a service and take it for a long drive, you should be able to notice anything sinister through that, might pay to plug her in to a computer and just check the error log.

Good to see you got it back dude!

First things first. Check all suspension arms en a wheel alignment. If they were driving it like its stolen they wouldn't care about gutters and they probs got some air on it lol

Oil change for sure just to be safe :)

Glad to hear Josh. The little so & so's need their hands broken with a 4lb copper hammer! As everyone else said about checkin it out. Get it up on a hoist, full service, wheel alignment (It sucks that insurers won't cover tyres!), if there is gutter rash as Hugh stated, make sure every rim spins true! Definately up for the trackers. PM sent.

Currently at Jaustech being completely Sussed out. Went and had a look last week, was pretty pissed off after looking at it.

Drivers door needs replacing, clutch is gone, some scratches, plastic dash fascia missing in most places. Inside mirrors ripped off, center console snapped, head unit fascia cracked, ash tray broken, glove box broken, cigarette burns. Extremely filthy....

Will be at least a couple weeks until I get her back.

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
