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

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
