Sorry to hear the car was stolen.

I just got an R33 on Saturday and was headed to Pac Fair today myself today. Have definitely re-thought that as I dont have an immobiliser yet. Be taking my other car now!

Will keep a look out for it.

wow three broken into the night before, you think three unsuccessful attempts would cause them to go for something else.

did it have a full tank of fuel? that always worries me about my car it's almost always full so they can get pretty far away before it will run out of juice.

nah it had just under an 1/8th of a tank so they wouldnt of gotten very far without putting fuel in it, especially with the way they would have been driving it, and we havnt heard of it being in any drive off's

it's a bit suss with the 3 break in's the night before. It's almost like they wanted a 32 for something (parts, re-birthing etc)

hi

sorry to hear the theft/attempted theft epidemic is still out here. my GTR went last Oct, still not recovered.

I have mentioned it on another forum with no results; but I reckon it's time to have a register of stolen Skylines here on the SAU QLD site. somewhere specific where owners of stolen veh can post the details of their car. that way, any of us who are 'suspicious' of a new car in our area, can quickly go to a specific site to check: and then, if necessary contact the owner. I know some are wrecked for parts but according to police many are 'rebirthed' to be driven: even if only a small percentage are identified and returned using information on this proposed forum, it would serve a purpose. the least of which would be to rid the streets [for a while] of some of the lowlife earning a living stealing Skylines.

any comments from Forum officials on this subject?.

regards

IMHO, it's incredibly unlikely that the cars will be in an identifiable condition (resprayed, different plates, different wheels etc) so I doubt that the idea would work. Also, as it stands, people can already search for info by checking for 'stolen' threads just like this one. if a quick search doesn't bring it up, chances are it's been changed enough that it'll be unrecognisable anyway.

Feel free to post the suggestion in the Ideas/Feedback and Bugs section though, the other guys might disagree with me :thumbsup:

Sorry guys ill just clear it up a bit, the car has NOT been found, what happened was, A car was taken to a Japaniese wrecker to get some work done, where several parts including, Rims, Exhaust, Gear nob, inter cooler, door cars (had a tear in them) and heaps more were on another car, so this car has been impounded by the police and waiting to hear more.

Thanks very much for all your help guys

Thanks for the update dude. I have a pic of your friends car on my sunvisor so i can do a quick reference everytime i see a R32 on the road. Been keeping an eye out. I can remove it now i guess.

Thats fantastic i appreciate your effort!! :laugh: , but yeah as said we haven't found the car yet but i doubt it would look anything like the picture anymore, if you see a stripped skyline out bush somewhere i would love to know about it.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
