I don't know how else to say it...

I was at work, with my car parked at the David Jones carpark at Robina Town Centre from about 2:30pm till work finished at 9pm.

When I came out it was gone. empty carpark.

Its a dark blue 89' 180sx with standard ca18 front bar. Its got r32 gts-t wheels.

Its got an rb25 in it too, so im guessing thats a bonus for the theives.

Im totally shattered, i've put my whole life into this car with every single paycheck for the last 3 years.

If anyone, anywhere sees or hears about this car please call me on 0421842005 - anytime.

I'm offering a reward to anyone that has information leading to the car

Thanks,

Nick

Thanks guys.

I went to Southport Police station and reported it last night and they said they'd put the word out. If they find it, they'll tow it and dust it for prints and then contact me.

I've also contacted Robina Town Centre security and they said they can't tell me anything about the tapes and that they could only deal with the police. I told him just to look for the car driving out, (model and plates) and told him to contact the police with any information.

I've just been driving around with all my mates driving the coast too combing through separate directions. This is the worst part of it, wondering whether i'll ever see my car again..

I've built this car from a complete stocker ca18 over the last few years, and as i mentioned have put my heart and soul into getting everything out of it.

I can remember every time the car has broken down or needed something fixed, and all the money from paychecks put towards it, week after week to get the results and the car i yearned for. I've sweated and bled for the car with my own two hands, working countless hours with my mates on the car, tirelessly trying to make something unique and respected, only to have it taken away without warning.

I've never felt so helpless before, because after all these years of working towards something, i'm now 21 grand in the hole for this car and i have nothing to show for it. I've probably spent between 30-40k on this car, and it feels it too.

I've always heard about the theft problems in Sydney and Melbourne - the bigger cities; and figured the Gold Coast was too small time for it to happen to me. I was wrong.

Again, if anyone knows anything or heard anything, saw anything - whatever. Call me on my mobile, it doesnt matter what time, i've got to find my car.

Thanks,

Nick

man, i hate to say it, but you are crazy

spending all that money on your dream car and not spending anything on protecting it?!@?!?

i feel for you and hope you get it back, but man, geez

The David Jones carpark is about the only place its left unattended though. My car lived in a garage in a security complex, and only sorta travelled to the video store left for about 15 mins max in daylight. Or to the shops for a movie, left with a pile of other cars for a couple hours. But other than that i dont drive it more than 2-3 times a week.

My god...

Police just contacted me at work at told me they'd located my vehicle.

I'm sorry but at the moment i don't have any real details, but as i understand the engine is still in the car.

I will let everyone know as soon as i know.

Dude man how lucky are u, honestly put in a kill switch or alarm u spent 30k on it im sure a 500 buckie alarm wouldnt hurt... Hope all is well when u get it back.

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
