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,

CONGRATS!! :)

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. :)

I'm sure the car has seen better days, but i am sure you are happy to have it back. :headbang:

well done man!!

Christian

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!).

clubbing in maquarie shoppo? Sum knob tried to lift my 180 in maq shoppo carpark (b4 they built the new one next to Big W) managed to take off with the momo steering wheel.

UNSW skyline club? awwww bugger where were you guys when I used to go there? Used to hang out at the Quad n the roundhouse all the time :) Oh and the Comp Eng Undercroft Labs ;)

Glad you got your car back man, coppers in Epping are nice I reckon, I used to live there on Blaxland Rd

we were supposed to go clubbbin at Fox... but we weren't dressed up enuff (last m,inute thing)

:)

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!

    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
    • Car has been running great, I've put about 300km's of break in time on it. First thing that stands out with properly sealing rings is no more noticeable crankcase smell coming out of my catch can. This may seem insignificant, but the constant smell while driving around was infuriating. It's also nice to see my oil level remain stable. Two new issues have developed that I only noticed this weekend though. There's a very noticeable driveline vibration past 100kmh. I only noticed it now as I've been babying it under 100kmh in the backroads. This comes as no surprise as I'm running a one-piece shaft, and I paid zero attention to my driveshaft angle when I put everything back in. I also have a fair bit of voltage drop on hot starts. The starter audibly is forcing. No issues on cold start though. I must not have removed all the paint under my main block ground during assembly. I'll try and take care of both those issues this week once the kids are asleep.  I also received all the parts I was missing for my direct port setup. I will hopefully have pictures of that up soon. I'm hoping to get back on the dyno the week of June 30th as I'll be on vacation. I'm confident I should be able to make north of 500rwkw on pump gas and WMI. I'll go back again later this summer with E98, but I want to confirm my ethanol content sensor is working properly first. I've never seen it read anything but 11%. This makes sense for our 10% ethanol content pump gas here, but I would expect the occasional movement between fill ups. 
    • 75% complete. Will now need to get a new axle with 5x114.3 hubs and then figure out how to customize some mudguards for it once the wheels are on.
