Hey all,

just heard that a friend of mine's R33 was stolen over the weekend from the Belconnen Mall carpark. its maroon in color and pretty much standard (gee that narrow's it down doesn't it?!?!). if you happen to see it around please let the Belconnen police know about it. rego is AZS 58M (NSW). cheers....

here's a pic of it....

If they can have unmarked police cars in our community trying to provoke and catch street racers, why can't they set up stings on parked Skylines (well there are other cars they could use, but not nearly as desirable IMHO :P ). Have them fully monitored, speed limited (<10kmh) and immobilise them as soon as they take off – oh and don’t forget having it all on film :P

They can't say it’s because of the risk to life... most of these kids are too young to have a licence and are life threatening the second they get away with these cars (Google died stolen car and see how common it is).

Is anyone aware of any schemes currently in place to reduce auto theft in ACT?

Yeah here's a scheme that's just been announced in the last few days.....AFP will no longer chase cars suspected of being stolen.

hmm okay... I think I have it worked out... we can't speed in our own cars

What we need to do is steal each others cars and we can speed all night and they won't chase us :P

Im getting so paranoid now/ I park in a carpark where barely no one goes through during the middle of the day. Im contemplating just bussing it.. haha

haha wouldnt that be the worst thing you can do, i park in the busiest possible area closest to the entrance to the shops (not just because im lazy)

They do this in America seen it on them police video shows

If u have a car stolen u will see how piss poor the cops are , NSW cops this is i have not dealt with the AFP.

First time i had to ring the cops and ask them to charge the person they found driving my car , for insurance , u think i asked them to break the law or something

Second time the cops accused me of doing it , threatened to arrest me , than asked for me not to report my car stolen as it makes their reporting better the fewer stolen cars each year

There should also be a rego check system in place at fuel stations (no fuel means no drive). I work at one and asked my Area manager about it and he said they tried and there was complications. As far as I'm conserned 'complications' indicate it will cost them too much. Just letting everyone know, fuel stations can write off drive-offs under insurance and tax, so they dont actually lose money so its cheaper for them not to care. But bringing to the point, the kids who do steal them who are too young to even have a licence probably dont even have a cent on them, so the police wont bother with it as there is no money to be made, and they just release them so they can do it again. I'll keep an eye out for it. If only we could get blowfish poision for our steering wheels...

    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
