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

      They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required.

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

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

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?
