Hey guys,

Unluckily tonight at 11pm Brisbane time my car was stolen from my work (just out of my sight) at the Shell Service Station Corner of Logan and Nursery Road, Mt Gravatt.

It's a Black 1993 Series 1 R33 GTs-T with Series 2 Rear Wing (turbo model), Plates are Gold on Black, BEN 337. Dark Tint, and a Apexi RSM andSAFC-II on the dash (very visable with the apexi stands) with Momo Steering wheel and Nismo Gear Knob (black leather one), 17 Silver AVS 5 Spoke lightwieght rims.

Was last seen heading toward the M1 along Nursery Road. I believe they would head south towards the coast or into the city (Gaza Road exit northbound, and the on ramp just before Klumpp/Mains Road exit).

Yes it was insured, but that doesn't make this suck balls any less, good alarm (black wire mongoose, I'm pretty sure I armed it but could have bumped the controlled in my pocket... FUDGE KNOWS), however... I was running late for work and didn't put my steering wheel lock on (behind my drivers seat, the one freaking time I don't... I'm always so paranoid). Didn't hear the alarm, but I can't hear much from outside and I could have been out back getting stock when this took (the actual break in). I came out to serve a customer when I noticed a DICKHEAD spinning wheels in reverse in a black skyline... thought what a wanker! Then realised hey... those are my rims... THAT'S MY CAR. I ran outside after it.... not that I could do anything. All the while I was serving a customer (I think they waited till the customer walked in before taking off, he didn't see anybody, but it's dark there). As far as I know/hear/see he could have spent an hour inside the car getting around the alarm etc...).

They managed to stay out of sight of the cameras (ARGH!!) as they came in next to the carwash in the dark (!#@%@#). What's worse a member from here spoke to me under an hour before complimenting my car and telling me about his White R34... missed your name the other customer spoke to me).

Anyway pictures incoming. This f**king sucks balls... right infront of me. Customer in the store crapped himself when I shouted "holy %$$$ they are stealing my car" and just ran out the store. He was still there when I returned so I thanked him, asked if he saw anything (he didn't) and sent him on his way. Police turned up about an hour later and took my info... they pulled somebody over 10min after it happened on the same road I last saw it go down....

So if anybody sees my car please call the police ASAP and e-mail me at [email protected]

Cheers,

Ben

how much fuel did it have in the tank? cause they may have just flogged it till the juice stopped flowing.

however, if they took an hour to beat the alarm they may have more respect for it then just flog it

Everytime I see a topic of this nature, my heart sinks.

It's one of those, "It'll never happen to me" kind of thing's which you hope never does.

Fingers crossed you get some good news soon.

Yeah, having insurance is a blessing, however it doesn't lessen the blow of losing your pride and joy.

Best of luck.

I live around that area, will keep an eye out as well. There's nothing worse then one someone let alone breaks into your car, not to mention steal it, and thrash it in front of your eyes!! That's gotta hurt!!

Tank was 3/4 full... I filled up tuesday and I was only on my second night of work for the week (use 3/4 of a tank per week.. sigh). Was meant to move out of home in a couple of months... looks like that'll suffer a bit of a delay.

Thanks guys for the words, weirdest thing I've ever seen... thought... no way that isn't my car at first. Reviewed the video today and he almost hit a car on his way out the driveway too. So I'm glad he didn't as those people would be worse off also.

I'll keep you updated, but I have that awful feeling I'll never see it again. Anybody got a R32 GTR forsale? lol, though I've been thicking about a crotch rocket for a few months now (I know, dangerous!). So much for taking care of it to the best of my ability =)

Also this comes after last year when my girlfriends Magna was fire bombed in her family's front yard. I love cars.... but not having the best of luck it seems lol

coming from a person who has had is car stolen aswell i would just like to say that i know what you are going through. who were u insured with?

all i can say is thank christ they dont have your keys. you will prob find it somewhere. when my ce lancer got stolen they had broken into my house and took the keys from my bedroom while i was asleep. trust me that is scary as (people have keys to your house :S) car was never found.

i really do hope you get it back, but will make sure to keep an eye out

Phone call 20min ago from the police... it's been found... ohh how exciting. Burned out down the gold coast. Did excatly what I thought they would do, bastards.

Straight from my work down the M1 to the Gold Coast. (my work is just near the on ramp). So they prob scored me a ticket or 2 from speed cameras (thursday night afterall) which is a non-issue though since it was stolen.

Insurance is just cars, all should be fine... still out my excess and the claim against myself as I greatly doubt anybody will be caught (future insurance price rise... whoopie).

RIP Nissan R33 Skyline, so much effort to keep it a prime example (close to stock, good paint and excellent mechanics).

What to get next I guess is the question after this all clears, in the mean time got to find a way to work!

Thanks anyway guys, and remember, be safe guys, lock your car up. I'm thinking I might do some donating of club locks to the SAU car club for people to enter... I imagine if I didn't forget mine it would have made a massive difference.

Maybe my rims are still decent and I can nab them, know somebody who might want them hehe.

why the f**k do we even bother, when there is god dam lowlife scum everywhere that is just going to destroy something nice because they are jealous.

i cant explain the horrible things i would do to car theifs if i could catch em.

anyways mate im so so sorry to hear

Thanks lol, you should see my partner she is seeing blood. Between the 2 of us that's 3 cars (2 were hers) burnt out now... each with insurance and security devices (all at different places and completely unrelated).

From what my work says, it's a first for the company in Queensland, yay for being special!

Well I was going to take a holiday this upcoming week but decided to delay it... guess I get to anyway lol (not keen to go back to work heh).

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox !
