As you most of you know, my GTR was broken into and 'stripped' just on 2 months ago. It was obvious the car had been followed and targeted. The windows were smashed - and the alarm didn't go off. I live in South Yarra.

One of the many items stolen were my old number plates - GTR-88.

Well...

I was sent a PM from a guy on the MCCR forum asking me if I had my car back, and was it white - as he saw a white Skyline with GTR-88 plates on Dandenong Rd, near Chapel!

It gets better...

It just so happened that his car was broken into the other night. In South Yarra. Same deal - window broken, alarm not set off - they took his Apexi gear... but he saw them doing it and chased. He got a partial description on the car and plate:

White import hatch (GTi-R, Charade, Starlet, WRX etc) with loud exhaust and plate something like 'TURBRO'.

I noticed in a thread here that Chop saw this same car near Chaddy!

I'm not sure if these are connected... but I rang Prahran police anyway. If you see either car - GTR-88 or TURBRO - call the cops.

Pretty stupid to be driving around with stolen plates..

Good work P.D. James :D you are well on the case!

Lets hope this scum gets caught, and the cops can actually do something to help out in this situation. Amazing, real crime to be policed.

Ah - it all makes sense now :D

Must have been the smell of pancakes impairing my judgement.

Do we have a confirm on the car - GTi-R?

See it has a titanium Nismo shifter. Grrrr.

Gordo - Haha. Just call me Jessica Fletcher.

yeh it mite of been white gti-r or starlet

it was dumped low on its ass

big 3.5" stainless steel muffler on the rightside making very loud sound

multispoke rims 17" or 18"

black personalised plates with "TURBRO"

pretty sure there was bonnet vents

driver was some tall skinny white guy, window half down, wearing a dark coloured cap.

hope that helps

would this be a joint mccr and sau club bashing? cos me and boys in the sig want in!

I remember seeing those plates around the S.E. suburbs myself... don't remember anymore details on the car though. Will keep an eye out.

I'll put my name down for the lynching mob too! People stress when they see a 6'4" guy step out of his Skyline...

carry a crowbar, and if an officer asks what its for, say its ur lover...or something

anyway yes i will keep eye out also but im in northern suburbs but do a lot of deliveries everywhere in the work truck, which means i can run them off the road or throw glass peices like shurikans at their necks

i rule

    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
    • Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate
