If any of you guys hear of or know someone who recently brought an rb25det out of the quokka please contact me immediately on 0404344855.

This motor was stolen from me and then sold in the quokka, i dont want to see some poor skyline owner get charged for recieving stolen goods or something stupid like that. Also it helps me retrieve my stolen engine and them get their money back as well as the idiot who did this to get charged with stealing or stealing a motor vechicle.

Thanks alot for your attention

you should advise all workshops and parts outlets that deal with lines and supply the engine number to the workshops. If the dude who bought it is oblivious of the fact that it is stolen he wouldn't be thinking of grinding off the e#.

Did you see the ad in the quokka, if so which week was it in. I'd like to see if my cousin could try to trace who owns, or owned the phone # used. More than likely a mobile which has been cut off now. But the phone company may have some details that could help.

thanks heaps for your support guys...

i know who stole it because he did an engine swap for me, he just decided he would palm off my engine and keep the money instead of letting me have it back..

the cops are already all over it and he doesnt have a leg to stand on, he even used his own mobile number and suburb in the quokka listing, he isnt the smartest of people...

ill post an engine number tommorrow...

it was advertsed in the quokka released on the 10/02/05 in the asian parts section under skyline, listed for $1500.. hes has/is trying to palm it off as a working engine when it has massive blow by due to a ring gone in number 1.

some people eh?

luckily you've got alot of ammunition on your side so prosecuting the guy won't be a problem, i'm sure as soon as the guy installs this engines he's going to see it doesn't work and then alot of word will go around of trying to fix it.

just for good measure whose the guy that ripped you off so that we all can blackmark anything him of his friends do ever again.

You realise that the worst thing the person can do is own up to buying the engine? If they do then the cops will give it back to you and the person who bought it will never ever ever get their money back.

It means if I bought the stolen engine thinking it was legit and I liked what I bought then found out later it was stolen off some guy I have never met, I would not give it back. Not because I am a bad person but because you would never get the cash back that you paid for it. Whats more important... You or someone else?

Tdawg, im sure the REAL owner of the engine is willing to pay the person to get the motor back man, i dont think hes just expecting someone to give the motor back and have them lose out on 1500$ ?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
