For years we, like the mainland, have been targeted by the local bogans, who steal, thrash and then burn our cars. They often get away with it for years before going to jail due to lack of evidence... This is happening pretty much everyday without fail...

In the last 2 or so months, professional thieves have also been targeting us by stealing, stripping and burning the cars. This week we have lost a rb25 converted R32 and a mint R33 GTR, both stripped of all sellable parts and burnt, once the VIN was cut out. The week before a R32 GTR was also stolen stripped and burnt. Whats even more annoying is that they dump them in really cocky places and yet no one sees a thing..

Just wondering if you guys on the mainland could keep a lookout because there is no way known the parts are being sold here, nor is it locals stealing the parts (well not the local bogans anyhow, they arnt smart enough to know what bits to take) so it must be someone associated with a mainland connection....

Anyhow if anyone sees any GTR parts or a RB25 head/turbo setup, then give us a yell, SOMEONE MUST KNOW SOMETHING. And no doubt they are reading this. You will f**k it up one day and get caught...

Cheers Dan.

as a previous tassie lad, i know of the 'groups' of semi-bogan/car floggers,

pm me some more details, and i can make some calls... this WILL get sorted out

if you dig too deep though it may pay to be careful, as you will probably end up as cray bait

Yeah, It would be interesting to know who is doing it. I used to have to always leave my car parked outside, now it get parked inside, immobilised and the garage alarmed. whats happening to all the stufff that is getting nicked?

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
