As the thread says, my Maroon 1987 NA Vl was stolen Tuesday morning from the Fairfield area in Brisbane, QLD Number plates were 272PXH.

It is registered / insured in my name but I gave it to my little sister about 6 months ago (I drive the 33 Skyline remember). Big problem is, when she paid the insurance she renewed only for 3rd party (she thought she was getting fire and theft as well). So now I'm down the value of the car and my sister is finding it almost impossible to get to work and uni.

Karma will catch the low life scum who stole it so I don't have too. But that does not get my car back. So I'm offering a $$cash$$ reward (no questions asked) for information leading to the return of the car or conviction of the theif.

Thanks all.

"Another one bites the dust"

Please don't take that the wrong way, just pointing out that yet ANOTHER VL commodore gets stolen. It's getting ridiculous these days.

I hope you find it or karma catches up with the wankers who stole it.

Hey everyone, I've got good news and bad news:

Good news: The car was found.

Bad news: It is a puddle of molten metal - supprise, supprise.

Coppers found it in the bush around Wacol area (again supprise, supprise).

Must have been a big fire, the glass all melted, even the cam cover was a puddle in the engine bay.

Really pissed off because the low lifes just took it and floged the crap out of it then burnt it, they did not even bother taking anything from it, (It had a couple of guages, decent stereo and VN Calis mags, extractors, so on).

I'm not really supprised, I did not expect it would turn up in working order.

Bummer, I had some good times in that car!!!

If I ever find out who did it I will make them pay dearly.

Well there was a little (evil) part of me that was hoping they were still inside. But they were not, so I'm pretty sure they crashed it then burnt it. I really hope it hurt when they pranged it.

    • Saw this video today from Adam LZ.    Long story short is he is claiming that the load from the engine fan once the fan clutch heats up(engaged) is increasing the getrag rattle(at idle) when you don't have a dual mass flywheel.  Before I go buying an electric fan setup .... Anyone heard of this ?    I must admit when my car is cold the getrag is pretty quiet and I do notice the rattle after it is all warmed up. I've always assumed this is due to the gearbox oil temp and tolerances of metal.       
    • Yep it sure does.   Tone wheel lines up in the same spot perfectly.    
    • Something I meant to say when we were chatting the other night about having an open trailer floor being great to work on a car, but you've never used the feature... It's a great place to park a car after doing suspension component changes, and do the tightening of all the bushes with the car sitting at full ride height. Especially when you don't have a 4 post hoist!
    • That is way more science than even I would use. I just eyeball it, not even accounting for the non-verticality of the tape measure when held on the lip and the centre at the same time. +/- 2mm is good enough for the girls I go out with.
    • So, before putting them in I need to understand the stock ride height. This is how I measured it: First, check the diameter of the wheel's centre cap, it was 52mm. Then put a piece of masking tape approximately across the centre and measure 27mm (half) from at least 3 sides to get a reasonable idea of the centre of the wheel cap. Mark that with a horizontal line as one measuring point. Then, directly above the wheel on the guard, put another piece of masking tape in approximately the centre. Use a string line to find out the point on the guard above the centre of the wheel cap and mark that. Then it is simple, just a tape measure to check the distance from centre of the wheel to the centre of the guard. Final results where  LF: 381mm RF: 379mm LR: 401mm RR: 400mm Pretty even considering they are 120,000klm old factory springs, lets call that 380 front and 400 rear.
