It seems to be a bit of a partern, i reckon there is a organised group who are doing htis, always see nissans stolen and always aroudn the gold coast. i could crush the scum who do this if i had a chance.

hope it all works out mate.

i wouldnt even leave my digital camera in the car if it didnt have alarm/security.

how could you leave 7k worth of sound system in there and sleep at night?

Easy,... He turned it off :pirate:

Car Theifs are on the same level as murder's and rapists. We put our heart, soul, blood and hard earned cash into these machines of joy only for some scum-bucket thinks-hes-hard f**kWIT who thinks hes above the law to come and take it, it breaks my heart. And the sad fact is, they are more or less above the law, the police are doing nothing to curtail this.

Some people in this world have utterly no respect. About half a year ago a bunch of arab-imigrants (not point the finger, but the fact was, thats who they were and it didnt surprise me to see that) tried to car jack me in my last car. I got away from them luckily enough but the cops didnt do $hit. They never do. To them, fast cars are objects of state revenue, if one gets stolen and actually requires police work, well, is there any money in it for them? No? Not worth worrying about.

/rant over.

That being said, 7k in sound gear and nothing in insurance? Insurance for my GTR was 3k, and I still paid it.... Your lucky you got the car back at all however. The fact that they crashed it and then nicked the sound gear sounds more to me like they were amatures who got lucky rather then expercianced criminal scum, I would of thought if they knew what they were on about the car would be in syd / melb getting rebirthed now.

/rant over again.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      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.
