Hey guys,

Went missing in the Moonee Ponds area, in the early hours of 1/05/13.

Reward paid for information leading to an arrest.

If you see any of the Stag specific parts:

Dolphin body kit,

double hinge center console,

rB25Det bolted to a 4wd hicas box.

Will repost in the skyline forum as well.

Still had the baby seat in it and some toys.

Give me a heads up by:

PM or

Cheers,

Post up a pic; maybe with the numberplate.

A pic will jog memories much better than text.

Best of luck cobber, hope it turns up undamaged.

Wasnt expecting this... but we got it back!

Police were chasing him in association with credit card fraud apparently.

Drivers door lock and ignition barrel broken (can open/start with a teaspoon) The Hicas & ABS fuses were pulled, the handbrake stretched to the stop, the gearbox was really tight, now its pretty sloppy and he put 4,500 km on it in 3 weeks! Front and rear bars trashed, tore the airbox out, changed the BOV for a noisy one (left the stock one in the wheel well) stole the spare, changed the rear rims (now not matching, were stock nissan) and tore the center console out. The power steering pump is howling now too.

Baby seat gone, my kids toys and books all gone, seat covers gone, maccas in the passenger footwell, ashtray full (in 3 weeks!?)

But, it drives, and apart from the headlight its roadworthy. Probably needs brake pads and a clutch pretty soon.

Wasnt expecting a happy ending to this story, should have it cleaned up over the weekend if I can find the parts.

Cheers fellahs,

Mely

Good to hear you have it back, but make sure you haven't got back a shitbox. 4500km is plenty of time to wreck a car.

I'd be getting a trusted specialist to go right through it; to ensure you don't end up footing a bill for thrash related repairs down the track.

Complete fluid flush (diffs, gearbox, coolant, engine oil, brake/clutch fluid etc), and a full going over.

Hope they catch the f**ker.

From what I can glean, I suspect that your car was used in or groomed for a robbery/ram raid.

Have you got any speeding tix in the mail yet?

As Daleo and OS80RN alluded to, everything needs to be checked out. The gearbox condition indicates a thrashing.

Hey stagnuts,

Checked my recipts, he only put 1200k on it. I thought it went out with 87,200k on it, but it was 89,200k.

Yeah, look i got it with 75,000 on it from Japan. The car was like new. The gearbox makes no noise and its not popping out, its just not as tight as it was...

Yeah, they caught the guy, his mobile number is on the back window under "for sale" in paint pen... The detective is away, I will see what I can get back when she gets back to work. My insurance got sent to my old work address, I was 10 weeks uninsured, so that's all I can do to get cash back.

Will chase down the parts (Passenger side light, locks, change BOV) and fluids (Box, engine, brakes) and do a better job of the immobilizer to get it moving for the Mrs and my bub. Probably pull it off the road in a month and do the brake pads, handbrake cable, diffx2 oil and clutch. Nice to have would be matching rims, it has 3x different kinds of rims on it at the moment and i might put on a carton and get the boys around to do some lazy BBQ, beers and fiberglassing on the bars...

Keep you updated,

Mely

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
