datzenmike Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Bummer the engine is blown, but that's a lot better than a car in a ditch or down an embankment. .... or in a fetal position around a pole with homie parts splashed everywhere. 4 Quote Link to comment

ArchetypeDatsun Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Dam what a joy ride too Sorry to hear that bro Post PayPal for donations ? ??? If something like this happened I would def need some support I could spare 20$ not much but it would add up I'm sure if the owner chimes in he would appreciate it as he is at a total loss with the car. 1 Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I'd throw in $20 if for nothing else than to buy a bottle to forget for a minute. :( 2 Quote Link to comment
datrod Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I don't remember the owners name, But I met him last year at the MSA Z bash. Stupid cool car. I freaking love what he did with it. That's just a shame. I too have a few bucks in my pay pal... 1 Quote Link to comment

Ya right, in my experience the cops do nothing other than wait for the vehicle to show up and then impound it so you can pay towing fees on top of having your vehicle stolen. :( 1 Quote Link to comment
DatsunMotorSports Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Hey guys, thanks for the support! I did some work the other day and it turns out someone filed a datsun key to steal it. That's why there was no broken glass, but luckily their key broke off in the ignition leaving the car in the start position. This burned the starter up and put a huge draw on the battery and a jumper pack. I pulled and replaced the starter and after checking the timing belt and cam shafts for signs of failure I was able to start the car and it runs fine. I spent today replacing the tumbler that was destroyed. So I again have a key to start it. I appreciate the offers of donations. I'd glad take a cheap set of coil overs (like the Honda ones everyone uses on the 510s for like 40 bucks for all 4 off ebay. Just to get it rolling again. I think I have everything else covered other than paying back those that already sent me money to get my car out of impound as the seaside police department didn't follow protical. The car was found, it was not dusted for prints dispite the fact that I had just completely detailed the car for a buyer, and they did not contact me to come get it so I was stuck with the tow charges, but I've got to talk with Sgt Law the guy in charge at the time on Friday about his improper protical and my tow fees. Might be able to get those back. I never meet anyone where the car lives. I always have a secure spot to meet someone I don't know. And seeing as a datsun key was used, yes I suspect it was someone either I know or someone that cased the complex with broken security gates for 8 months. I had a talk with the complex about the broken security gates which are in my lease agreement, and their insurance. The gate was fixed a day later! Thanks everyone! 11 Quote Link to comment

Draker Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Update the title of this thread? Quote Link to comment
flatcat19 Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 To what? Datsun that was stolen. ? By definition, title still works. :poke: Quote Link to comment
tr8er Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 If you get money from the Police... Never mind. You will not get money from the Police. They would not admit fault like that. 2 Quote Link to comment
Rhapakatui Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 A) I'm glad you got it back mostly ok. A burned up starter is a much better scenario than the total loss blown engine that was initially reported. 2) Please tell me that "Sgt Law" is a real person and not just a random cop name that you made up. I want to imagine his adventures. 1 Quote Link to comment
q-tip Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Gate was fixed a day later but that didn't really help keep you xlcar from being stolen a week prior, fucking cheap ass property management. Glad to hear it was just a starter they burned up and not a blown engine! Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Good that it was just the starter. Cops tend to not follow any rules, they seem to make it up as they go and there is not much recourse, but good luck with being compensated by them anyways. :( 1 Quote Link to comment

DaBlist Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 So now that the car is back and running we can spiral this thread to off topic down to lower levels? 2 Quote Link to comment
