Hey all,

just a heads up. mate's car got stolen around the Brompton area (near Brompton Greens) last night.

He found out this morning that his car was stolen, and YES! it had a cyclops alarm. Just shows IMPORTS are being targeted more and more these days. Its a R32 Skyline stock black with BN front and sides with a stock wing and FMIC. Further features are stock rims painted black and a scratch on the rear LHS bumper.

Poor bloke, he just did a manual conversion and had massive plans for the car in the future and now some MOTHERF***** has taken his pride and joy!

Plates are [XGC 339], so any details would be greatly appreciated

that sux man will keep eyes open

he might of had an alarm but was it armed

poor guy

sorry to hear the bad news!

Will keep my eyes open mate!

some heads up!

Also, as obvious as it seems, i highly recommend having ur alarm tested every month or so, just so that u can be sure that ur alarm is still working and offcourse for some piece of mind. i mean it only takes a few seconds to arm the car and test the usual entry points seeing if it goes off and all.

cheers

Update!

just an update the car has been found and was retrieved last monday. Not too sure about the details of the condition. apparently the car was dumped as it ran out of petrol and the thieves/ joy riders couldnt be bothered filling up.

cheers!

my uncs hq monaro got stolen back in the day, police foundit just outside melbourne in a ditch all windows broken and when he got it fixed the car never drove the same again...

like it had been raped or violated in a way that you just cant explain.

Yea car's sitting at my house and we're repairing all the damages 1-by-1. Lucky he got the car back in 1 piece, save for a broken LHS rear quarter window, Damaged front bar, Slashed/ bald tyres and 1 snapped pulley belt.

So if any1 has a LHS rear quarter window (preferbably with the plastic surround) please PM me with price etc.

    • 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.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
