Yessssssss! So happy this got found. Was genuinely considering cruising around my area (and yours @mercyseat ) to see if we could spot it.

Awesome work. Thanks everyone who assisted and kept their eyes out for this.

Yeah Steve and I woulda taken to the streets if it didn't turn up.

Damaged rear bumper. Looks like they rolled it then pushed it with another car.
Ignition damaged.
Not sure about the driveline still being investigated / finger printed me thinks by cops.

Main thing is its found, thanks to all the car loving peeps in Melbourne sharing the post.[emoji1303][emoji469][emoji469]

That's exactly what they did with my car but the morons couldn't get it started. The other car they pushed it with would have been stolen too, 100%.

Yes had security. They broke in through the boot and disabled it someway through there. Then must of pushed it then roll started it. Not 100% sure.

 

I had my LP2 coupe there too at Downshift that day.

 

Quite a good Skyline turnout[emoji846]

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
