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

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
