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

    • Is anyone running these axles? R32, R33, R34 GTR front Axles. shafts itself rated 950hp. Suit all RB26 engines Croydon, Melbourne, Victoria Would be nice to pay half the cost of Driveshaft Shop Axles. I'm building an AWD S13 Coupe that is very low ride height (high cv angle) compared to stock R32. Has an RB30 with appx 600whp. Just looking for feedback. Thanks, Josh- https://www.instagram.com/feng_shui_garage/
    • Been a long time since r31 got some love, my brother dropped a shitbox ls1 crapadore in my lap to fix up.  Put a wiper motor in as the flooded one was no longer alive.  got windscreen wipers now. Time to clean respray and install back in the titanic  IMG_0505.mov
    • Nah its a server spammer thing  Although, now that I manually approve all the accounts I can probably loosen up some of the restrictions.  
    • Thread bump, again! Although, no bad news this time. Posting for the sake of possible root cause. Basically, I rebuilt it (mostly stock), installed Haltech + sensors, had it running fine on new ECU.  Still not really understanding why it cracked pistons last time. Got to tuners, and while checking timing, noticed +-10deg of timing scatter while revving. Changed CAS, and it was rock solid. While not definitive, can't imagine seeing 20+ psi with that amount of scatter would be a good thing. Also glad I found something.   Bit more of a run down; Carried out a stock rebuild, a set of stock pistons, out of a spare bottom end. Everything stock apart from head studs and oil restrictors. (so I can pretend I didn't let the Nissan out, ha.) Armed with the measuring gear and FSM, set about doing overhaul. Oil restrictors as per oil control thread for a RB25, stock oil pump, drifting. Head drain/vent from rear of head, to passenger side of sump above oil level. Two dash 10 vent lines from drivers side of sump (unused atm) Hi octane style cam cover breather kit Splash covers over last 2 cam caps. Both breather lines from cam covers to vented to atmosphere catch can, not plumbed back into sump (wanted to see what it was actually breathing). Got it run in (did about a 1000km) no to low boost scenario, As I had questions over old ECU setup. Installed haltech +sensors for flex Retune on E85 (finding CAS Issue along the way), made 300rwkw at 20psi, out of wastegate. Did a drift day the next day (yes, it was a big weekend!) and was checking catch can throughout the day, ZERO blowby. I mean nothing. Lines from cam covers are not even wet. Done a bunch of street driving, spirited and catch can is still dry. Early days I guess, but pretty happy so far. Also now run 10w60, up from the 10w40 that I used to run. Oil pressure is significantly better, especially when hot (as you would expect)
