Some arsehair posing as a buyer stole my s13 yesterday 10th march. He was last seen heading towards Hurstville on Railway Parade around 3PM. If ANYONE has any info whatsoever please contact me.

The car will definately stand out. Its got a BN sports kit, Apec apache 18s, loud exhaust, RB20, ns.com sticker. It's white with duct tape on the front bar. The plates are red KLR 02L mounted to the side on the front bar.

Please if anyone sees it call 0423 451 346. I was gonna use this money to get out of debt and take my GF on a holiday but the stupid crack head need a quick fix I guess.

He mentioned living around Maroubra so everyone around there please keep an eye out for it.

Also, if anyone comes across cheap used Apec apaches in shadow chrome or RB20 parts, Autogage gauges, HKS turbotimer or Apexi pod please be suspicious and ask where they got them from.

slow ride, how did they steal it?

Like were they going for a test drive and just never came back??

if you can provide with some details, come in handy for other people thats selling their cars. if they did it to you they prob have done this kinda shit before

Thanks a lot for the support guys. It just really sucks because today I got about 6 calls from interested buyers and I've had to turn them away.

The guy was aussie, in his late 20s early 30s, had chicken pox, sany blonde short hair, about 175 cms, slim build.

My biggest lead is that he was wearing a blue polo shirt which said Eastern Sydney Construction or East Coast Construction. If this sounds familiar please let me know.

If you see the car it's got some unusual features. It has no spoiler, no antenna, the doors need a respray, the front bar is cracked and has duct tape, loud BOV and exhaust. It just plain stands out.

Again, thanks so much for your support.

Use this as a warning guys. If anyone wants to test drive your car, meet them in a neutral place where they can't escape too quickly. And always hold onto their licence. Make that the first thing you do. If they refuse, don't show them the car.

I took him for a spin and I got out and he goes "can I drive" I agreed and as I was opening the passenger door he drove off.

man thats just f**ked up, stolen right in front of your eyes. have you gone to the cops and gave them a description of the guy? maybe they can check their records against previously convicted thieves and you can spot them out?

I stupidly didn't get any of his details but I've given the cops a pretty good description of the guy. You just don't think to get their licence until it's too late. Be careful guys, I don't want anyone to go through this shit.

when he originally rang you to organise the test drive did he call your mobile?

im pretty sure you can ask the phone company or cops to do a trace and see where he was calling from, if he was dumb enough to call from hes house or hes mobile, they can easily catch the bastard

What kind of person is that? geez.. Stolen right in front of u. :no: Feel for u dude.

Always have someone in another car to help u out.

yeah this is actually a good call. See if u can get his mobile number or soemthing

holy shit. that sucks. yes i always get a photocopy, or just copy the details of anyones licence that looks at the car. if you are letting them test drive. take the key out, get out of the car, hop in passenger side, then give them the key once you are both back in the car. i also only let them come alone with me so there is no chance of a mate pulling any shit in the car.

thats just fuct up...

I would start looking up every construction company in eastern sydney. If he was wearing that tshirt and said he was from maroubra ...chances are he works around that area.

Although if i was to steal a car I wouldnt be telling the person where i lived ....or wear a work shirt ....

then again some theives are just plain stupid.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
