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).

    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drive beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
