Car found last week, finally got a chance to look at. Pillar clusters, rims, spoiler, front grill, number plates and even the SAU stickers were taken. Generic shit put on.

The prick who took it had the decency to leave a Van Halen cd in the cd player so thanks f**kwit. Hoping the engine isn't screwed but considering my rear bumper is now full of carbon shit, I won't hold my breath.

Pictures speak for themselves:

+1, and if its sitting in the back of a factory somewhere and someone spots it as they're passing through and remembers the car from facebook / forums... A complete car which doesn't match the stolen car description won't raise eyebrows, but a half stripped car with the distinguishing features missing does

Or...burn the thing / drive into lake and not worry about turning it back to stock?

Cause the whole effort to return to stock obviously worked in keeping it from being found!

Wtf @ putting stock parts back on?

wow.. thats strange!

does this mean the person who stole it most likely owns a white r33 gtst also?

To update the post, car was found around 4am near the CBD idling in the back streets when found by police.

After giving the car a once over, the prick who took it obviously thought he'd use it for a work car after he sold all the nicer bits. I found so much shit in the boot and back seat (work tools, paint, spare clothes - even a fkn porno). Who the hell steals a car and decides, "yep I'll keep this for myself" and drives it like he owns it?!?! Explains why the stock bits went on.

Car hasn't got any major damage on the body (except for missing bits) comp is fine across all cylinders but the turbo has shat itself, Unfortunately I think they'll write it off . :(

U reckon they'd write it off based on that? If it's just the turbo and some trim bits gone, I would think at worst maybe 3-4k of repair work necessary.

Started motor also gone, 18" wheels + rubber = $2k so around $6k as quoted by the inspection center.

It pisses me off the amount of low life scum there is around knocking off vehicles I had a VL caiais stolen from crown about 10 years ago, luckly for me it was found the following day in cranbourne with only the sub and amp taken from it,

I was previously in the 4WD scene and the amount of Nissan Patrols that are getting knocked off in melb is unreal, every week one goes missing, if some prick ever tried to come to my place and knock off my pride and joy they would want to be quicker than a speeding bullet from a 30-06 rifle

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
