Guys the reward for information leading to the retrieval of this vehicle is over $2,000....so if u see anything lookin like this car or any parts being sold that look like they may have come from this car please let us know.

Other things about the car..

*The grill is missing and u can see the blue oil cooler through it

I just spoke with Dave - I thought I'd found his Sil80 on Port Wakefield road - but it wasn't the one :( - VERY similar though.

He mentioned a few unique items from the car, in case anyone get offered parts for sale:

- AAR leather drivers seat (he's never seen another one before in Australia)

- dished Sparco steering wheel

- cutom intercooler piping with tons of small pieces welded together Jap drift style

- a Defi boost gauge

- 18" rear mags, 16" silver front mags.

Keep your eyes and ears open for this stuff (or hopefully the car) to turn up!!

No so to top this off Dave is left in debt

Andrew have you met him before or is this the first time?

Dave and Sean stay at my place last time they were down for an event

Dave is a nicest guy, the kinda thing you would wish nothing on!

nah mate, haven't met Dave, but he sounded like a cool guy on the phone .....

damn I hope they find the car in one piece - in fact I hope one of us spots it, follows it to a locale, call in some SAU backup, and go to work on the bloody thieves!

I am going to get one of the Viper paging alarms for sale on the trading section, since so many cars have gone missing around the place lately. I have a good alarm and immobilisers already, but it would be nice to thave a vibrating pager in your pocket for when you are at the shops or someone else's house etc ....

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
