Hey guys..

As I came home from royal national park..as I was at the door to my house the cops rang and told me that my car was found in epping and to pick it up..!!

expecting the worst...me and my brother went to Epping...the car was in good condition.!!

wheels were still there!!

sterring wheel too!!

a bit of damage to the bonnet and a slightly cracked and scraped front bar...

interior...stereo and shit pulled out..!! and gear knob and some plastic shit around the gearstick..!!

other than that..all is fine!!

oh shit..the car would have copped a shit load of a thrashing!! they took out the panel filter...must have driven it like that!!

but they didnt drive it that far..max they drove it was a few hundred kms..!!

The car has been involved with a few illegal shit I think..the guys that stole the car had dropped the car there 2 weeks ago and has come back to use it once or twice...

well its a vision atm...I will talk to the guys at vision monday!!

thats the story..!! I am back!!

Schweeeet - That's great news. ( that the car was recovered) However it blows that they did some damage. I guess you're just happy to get the car back in (sort of) one piece.

Best news I've heard all week - (Except for ROOSTERS winning against Brisbane)

Cheers,

i am heppy for you man, its good to see that the cops can return the cars every now and then!!

i was devastated when you told me it was stolen - i am happy now. :)

whoa thats awesome news dude!

so happy to hear... you're one lucky bugger.

Hope the car is okay.. engine wise.. as i know how expensive this can be. I don't think it could be that bad... skyline engines are made to be thrashed :)

at least the car is still in one piece... guess they were nice thieves and lucky they didn't torch it... would've been a nasty sight

anyway welcome back mate... take good care of her.

I had a flashpoint alarm!!

Hey i jus realised today...the grill taht was found next to my car...is not my grill..was there another white R33 skyline stolen??

the grill had the red S badge...and was white too?

chances are that one is being used for the same reason and is sitting in another carpark?

they probably jus kept changing up the number plates!

Jords...

nah, my car wasn't stolen.. but the front grill was (maybe they were getting started?). thankfully i dun have to park in that hole anymore! Quite a few of my colleagues have had their cars busted into in there...and my last car (lancer) got badly dented in the loft carprk. i always see another white R33 there with a black wing too. hope he;s ok

but anyway, i parked behind ya at fox on friday! shoulda called you (but bet u were too bz with chicks!).

:)

were you at city live that night?

anyway, some workmates told me that the vandals at macquarie are a bunch of local kids that live across Epping rd. -They target cars of ppl that work in or nearby, but just havn't been caught in the act. Dunno if they actually steal cars tho!

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
