I have a couple more pics of it from the side and back too.

I sol dit to michael down the caost, i was its first Australian owner, michael was its second.

It was a awsome car i missed it so much i bought another r33 but its not as good to drive as this one was.

From what u have been reading it doesnt seem like many or the r33 stolen are turning up?

Keep us pdated with how things go ok!

i'm in the southside area too, I'll keep a look out for it. However by now it could be anywhere.

Skylines are always an easy target for car thieves, there are lots of them out there so if they come across one with a car alarm and immobiliser it won't be too long until they come across one that doesn't. I guess you can never be too safe but yeah. Good luck with the insurance, I hope you get renumerated quickly and properly. Especially this close to christmas.

yeah, i will let everyone know as soon as i find anything out. it was a good car actually, i really liked it :) and i've never been a big skyline fan till after i drove that one.

unfortunately, i got a bad feeling that it will end up in a chop shop somewhere :P its depressing just thinking about it. i'm watching all the classifieds as well to see if any parts turn up somewhere.

this was brought to my attention on Boostlosing lately.

"what the hell is it with QLD and stolen skylines!!!!????

f**k man i hope you get it back, this shit happens far too often

edit, there is a thread on skylineaustralia.com on how to bypass your alarm system and people wonder why they get stolen?. you cant mention street racing or company names on the threads but you can tell someone how to steal your pride and joy wtf."

thats a little worrying to me :( does anyone know about this. i mean i know they speak some shit on there but it doesnt hurt to check.

Aside from an alarm you need a good old fashioned Gypsy curse installed as well. I warned whoever stole my last car it was cursed, they were too late and it got them!!!

The current installed curse is a lot worse, it has the soul of 2 previous cars and it's new found personality as well *beware*

lol nice. i'll remember that next time. all i need is a gypsy to curse it though. do they sell those? or are there like ikea versions where you do it yourself and they dont quite work out right? you know what i mean.

from what i have seen a majority of them had some form of security device installed. the problem is they are getting around them. one guy had an immobiliser, disconnected the battery, took starter motor fuse out and a club lock and they still stole it from off his front lawn. seriously, thats nuts!

if this was the real thing, they can investigate as much as they want....but you will get the money at the end, what compnay is this ..i am with "JUST Cars"...

also i heard that having a KILL switch somewhere (hiden) will be more effective than most imobalizers.....

fitted to the fuel pump...they might steal it...but still need to drive it off....

my mates R33 has saterlite tracking alarm....dont know if this is the ultimate thing ($11 month i think)...but in melbourne...dont know about the service in brisbane ??

anyway hope you get it back !!!...or just hassle up the insurance company cos that wht theye for...and get a better ride.....

:laugh:

my number is 0439 759 284 for anyone that knows anything. call me anytime and leave a msg if i dont answer.

my concern with the insurance is that they think i did it to claim back on them. coz i've only had the car for 2 weeks, it looks really suss. i havent even been able to hand in the transfer of rego papers yet.

no word on anything yet......

yeah it was still white. the photo before is basically it just without the newer wheels. also, it does have a 6" but it's actually very quiet so you prob wont hear it coming.

the front bar is a bomex i think, if your interested. they are nice.

LoL I went through similar shit, my car was stolen a day before my policy was due to be renewed, but hey the assessor still insinuated it was me and kept asking how the hell it got stolen, even after they had made an arrest. Assessor scum fat slag!@!!@!

yeah, about my sentiments. i havent met the assessor yet though. if i dont like him, i'll just have do it my own way i guess :P always works ;)

its strange. my gtir wasnt insured at all for the entire 8 mths i had it, nothing ever happened. i get a skyline for 2 weeks and it gets stolen? wtf? are these theives starting a skyline car yard or something?

Major drag dude, sorry to hear bout it :P

If its the same people i read about, last week in the paper there was an artical about thieves down gold coast way stealling skylines and doing hit and runs on all different businesses then most of the times torchin the cars at the end i think, i'll see if i can find the artical

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
