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.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
