R34 Was Recently Stolen And Recovered, Looking For A Mechanic.


Recommended Posts

My R34 was stolen tuesday morning around 3am, the car was found this morning around 9:30am. I'm unsure of the extent of the damage but i know for certain the left hand side window is broken.

I'm looking for a mechanic i can get the car towed straight to once the police are done with it to give the car a good look over and repair what damage has been done such as the window etc.

I work full time so i don't really have the spare time to diagnose and fix the problems myself and need the car running as soon as possible.

I live in Narre Warren south, so somewhere close by would be fantastic so it doesn't cost me a fortune to have it towed. I only recently moved to Melbourne so I'm not familiar with what workshops are around.

thank you!

Depends on the damage mate. If there's panel damage, most panel shops will be able to sort out windows/locks/etc for you. Police Rd panels have been helpful in the past for me, and DT panels in Springvale are certainly great for paint and panelbeating.

If the problem is mechanical, I only ever see one bloke - Dan from Springy motors. He's usually pretty busy but he knows imports inside and out. His new number is (03) 9546 9400

Sorry to hear about the news, was is stolen at Narre Warren South? If you've seen a BSB 34 thats mine as I visit my parents. Its usually a very family oriented area and I've never herd of things like this.

Jake is right about the people to call - im currently in talks with Van from DT Panels for some side skirt and rear pod fitments.

I'll keep a eye for you man! haha

yeah, the street i live on is quite a nice street as well. i was shocked it happened myself in a area i felt pretty secure in.

my car was actually used in a robbery tuesday night so by the sounds of it the guys who stole my car were looking for a getaway vehicle. I think I'm lucky the car didn't end up burned out in a ditch somewhere.

thanks heaps guys.

Unfortunately mate there are dickheads everywhere who want to take something that they haven't earned. Just get good insurance and a good immobiliser/alarm. I use the top-end Viper alarm in my car and have no complaints so far. It pages my remote fob if someone gets in to my car which gives me enough time to find the nearest blunt object and get myself into a killing mood.

I have one of these too. Only problem is I've nearly killed my cat a few times[emoji38]

Sorry to hear about you 34 but ibsay this to every skyline owner or import owner. First mod is a good 3 point black wireing immoboliser alarm system as lots of imports get stolen as some prolly come here as stolen recoveries etc etc. Any mechanicle stuff i reccomend racepace but prolly to far from you

DT panels and quality should never be used within the same sentence

Bad experience? I was considering taking my shitty 33 gtst there for a few minor repairs as most of the cars I have seen come out of there seem to have been done well. Pm me if you prefer.

Took my STi there years ago. Can I say shrinkage...

Anyway look at the general type of customers and cars they have - I'd say most go there because they want a cheap job and they do a half decent job (I'm being polite) definitely not quality.

Can't comment on your experience Darren, but I agree from what I've seen.

I know Vu's said before that he paints to a scale...in that if a customer wants a $3000 job he'll do it for that, but it will look like a 3k job. If they're willing to pay 10k for a showroom auto show finish then that's what they'll get. Like many workshops, have heard mixed to be honest. Some swear by them, others say never again.

True

If you want quality try micolour - you pay for what you get.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
