1 - I certainly hope that was insured.

2 - Was it caught on camera?????

3 - How was it stolen???

Hopefully your mate won't get any crap from the insurance company after only having it for a month. Can't promise anything, but will be on the lookout anyway.

He ran into the petrol station to get ciggies and left the car running (key in ignition).

Camera missed it as it was out of the angle of the shot.

Apparently some whjite commo plate MH sumfin had something to do with it.

Another reason turbo timers are good :cheers:

do insurance companies pay out if your car is stolen with the keys left in the ignition tho?

Hmm, god point................Like I said good luck with them. Chances are the car will be found dumped somewhere, because to me this just seems like a crime of opportunity for whoever stole it.

I thought about this in the afternoon, some things to look out for about the car if it has been stripped:

The hks sqv is bolt on, so unless these people have someone to sell it to look out for a "hks sqv bov, near new condition!!" advertised in the quokka. Also anything else of value that can be taken off the car.

If the car had rims, also look out for these. If your friend imported the car & registered it, or the person he bought it off did, try and get hold of the tire serial number. I believe these are written down when it is registered, but that could only be for the stock 16" rims, and if they are another size then maybe not.

If that helps, then you can arrange to meet this person to inspect the rims (as they would most likely be sold with the tires in this situation), and if the number matches, enter the police. Booyeah, caught red handed. Would go a long way to getting the car back.

Well that was f****** bright wasn't it. Wouldn't mind betting the insurance company tell him to take a hike. You will find that under the circumstances, most insurance companies would not pay out for that kind of neglect.

Lets hope he gets it back in good order so he don't have to make a claim and perhaps he might have learnt a lesson out of this one.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
