Awesome work guys!!!!

Im so glad you have finally got your car back, i really hate theives!!

Oh also as mjfawke said it would be best if you at least fit an immobilisor to your vehicle to prevent it from happening again. At my work(Autobarn) you can get immobilisors installed for around $150 for a touch key immob. and about $200 for a transponder type.

Anyways, im so glad you got it back in one piece and nothing was stolen or damaged. :headspin:

No problems Daniel. I got home from the shops and sent you the sms after I got online and found your number. Told my GF and she was going on about how I should be a detective!!!! Able to spot a stolen car like that!!! I told her it wasn't that hard, I'd remembered the number plate!!!

THANKS TO EVERYONE FOR LOOKING OUT FOR THE CAR.

I WAS VERY LUCKY THE PLATES ARE EASY TO REMEMBER THOU :wassup:

THINKING OF SELLING UP TO GET SOMETHING ELSE, CANT QUITE AFFORD SOMETHING LIKE DAD HAS (SHY32) BUT WILL DEFINATELY BE TURBO AGAIN.

THAKYOU VERY MUCH PHANTOM, I OWE YOU BIG TIME :P

IMOBILISER WILL DEFINATELY DO THAT IF I KEEP THE CAR. ITS JUST ONE OF THOSE CARS THAT I HATE SPENDING MONEY ON. :(

Glad she was found - good work guys :mad:

My brother had his car stolen during the fires 2?? years ago now. Everything he owned in it. $$ drum kit, $$ kingchrome tools, $$ power tools, snowboard etc. Cops pulled the guy up while he was driving the car but didn't put him away for this - and didn't inform my brother that the car had been found either. Thanks to the radio stations we got the car back!!

(Drum kit was later recovered 3rd hand when a friend discovered the location and tipped the cops off. At least they helped out in the end I guess :S)

I must admit the cops that turned up treated me in the 3rd person context and asked me the same questions over and over again. At first they thought the person that sent me the text was the person that stole the car and I assured them it was not.

Are well have bought a new car this week so the BEAST will be for sale soon.

Oh great now the fuzz think I'm the thieff???!!!!??? Sorry to tell them I was at work when I read about the car being stolen (in Lyneham - not Woden) and as cool as a decent condition little Charade Turbo is, I'm much happier with my 200SX, even if it is off the road waiting to get fixed!!!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
