600cc injectors. It has blitz rims, 18x10 only gtr i have seen with these rims. Has Trust exhaust, and front pipes, powerfc,

interior is perfect, with gtr mats. Has gauge pillar with an apexi water temp and trust boost gauge el blue colour.

Is perfect in terms of body, has a scraped front lip. Any info much appreciated to Todd on 0401813311

Mate really sorry to hear that.....is just down the road from my place so will keep a look out.

Unfort if it had an alarm that was on etc I'd say it was taken by a pro and therefore won't be spotted in its current form.

Best of luck with getting her back....

Fark! I saw this on Sunday parked there and was saying how nice it was so assuming it was taken from the same place, know exactly where it was. It is only just up from where I was. That sucks and is all the more worrying because of the area.

It is opposite a friends parents place they are renting which is how I noticed it (and being a skyline in brighton is slightly rare too)

Hope it is found in one piece :thumbsup:

Sux, hope you'd recover it in one peice.

One night i went out with my friends and my gtr was parking at the front. Came home around 2am and saw a TOW truck stopped right next to my gtr, it drove forward then reversed back.

We didn't want to make an apperance yet at the time but my mate decided to pulled his car out from the back street, shine his high beam toward the truck and guess what, the truck drove off. There are too many scum bags out there, just take extra care guys.

Ouch - hope you get it back.

At least you are smart enough to have had insurance on it, unlike most others who post stolen cars on these forums.

Unfortunately, you should keep an eye out for parts being sold as well :thumbsup:

yeah whats with that? why is it that stolen cars are always the ones that are uninsured?

^^ IMO thieves do their research and if it's insured the insurance company will be looking out for it because they want to get as much money back as they can, especially if they're going to have to pay 20k+

Pretty hard to find an uninsured car, once it's in another area that you aren't often in, your not likely to see it again.

That being said hope you can find it mate.

Good luck

    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
