hey guys just thought id let you know that an attempt to steal my 33 GTR took place today. The only thing that saved it was the multipoint imobilisation on the alarm.

they are getting cunning thought i left my car for no more that 45min in Teatree plazer in the middle of the day and i parked it on its own in clear view.

someone witnessed it and called the cops, two undercovers came over apparently they patroll the car parks on random days (good to know) then they called in crime investigation and they dusted for prints very CSI.

lock em up boys and girls and for gods sake get an alarm system there on the prowl!

i was lucky all they wrecked was the ignition and the alarm siren

they were good no damage to the door lock and they had the car ready to go just couldnt start it.

ttp is known as one if not the biggest hot spot for car thieves....why even bother taking a 33 gtr to park there??

I know u shouldnt have to worry about shit like that, but dont bother parking anything expensive there!!

i had to go to motor vehicles across the road so i parked on the out skirts of the car park i normally wouldnt park it there but i guess you learn the hard way.

yep I don't park the R34 at TTP. Had my S15 badged there once and won't park there again.

I think it is just about time for vigilante activity, as suggested. Once we f$#k a few of them up bad enough and put their smashed up faces on the news, maybe other would-be thieves will think again before touching a Skyline :thumbsup:

I found out the other day my GT-R (that I have just sold) alarm system wasn't locking the passenger side door. God knows how long its been since I checked whether that door was locking.

I assume though, my car was not actually locked for oh, around 18 months! Scary stuff!

sounds fun but wouldn't make a difference.

if that was the case and people thought twice about commiting a crime if they new there would be a consequence, there would be no crime in the world would there?

hey i had the exact same thing happen to me there lil under a year ago, same deal less than 30min parking, no damage to door lock but plenty to ignition and immobilizer stopped them along with someone spotting them messing with my car. csi cops came they didnt find any prints but the witness said they were like 4 18 or so yr olds apparently 1 wearing holden top(what the..... stick to v8s), it was that car chase with the blue vp that went on for like 4hours heaps of people seen em weaving in traffic at like 180km/h cops apparently caught em in the end.

nice work legal system though, i get in more shit for driving my car than they do for trying to steal it and doing 180k's in wrong lane's

cost me a fair bit getting it fixed so im up for any traps and beat downs people wanna give :thumbsup:

I'm keen as mate, think i'd go a little too far tho........ "Darren stop hitting him" "no" "Darren he's unconcious" "I know"......LOL

Grab a carton of Coopers and were set Andrew!!

doesnt this all make you think owning one of these things is just a waste of time and money...?

dont get me wrong.... id like your opinions.

I think as a Skyline owner many would already know how much of a money pit owning one is!

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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 🍻
