well some dickhead/s decided to take my beige R31 skyline wagon today, which totally sux balls!!

was stolen sometime between 10 and 530 today from narrabundah. car is a shit beige GXE S1/2 Wagon with cut springs and some gay 15inch S13 mags. car is worth f**kall to me really but im more concerned with all the shit in the back. i had a big (1.5-2m) garage jack, a 3/8 drive sidcrome socket set, a ryobi cordless drill, 4x 4WD jack stands. and a white/clear plastic box full of all my drift spares that i was gonna use this weekend

anyway car also has a blown pioneer CD player in it, its ran out of rego a few days ago, and the rego plates are YER 59U, altho there were some spare plates in the too so they might have put those on.

anyway keep an eye out and if you see it or anything like it, call me asap

yeah not far from the college (my house). dont know if they hotwired it but it woulda only needed a screwdriver to start it.

previous owner had the car stolen and recovered, so i got it for next to nothing coz it was running rough. fixed it nice and cheap and has been going great. but i havent been driving it coz i got another daily/ tow car. so i been storing some shit in there and now its all gone.

i dont actually care about the car. if someone finds it with all the stuff in it, they can have the car as a reward

Mark was saying there was a car burnt out on Laurel Camp Rd this morning (out from the Cotter) he can't remember what type of car, he remembers it was a 4 door but could have been a hatch, but did notice a hinged lid metal toolbox in back.

PS its still smoking, so only fresh.

When my ex's car was stolen from the same area, we caught them down Jerrabomberra Ave near the dog club and greyhound track but on the other side of the road, there was a dirt road and paddock, and they'd taken the car down there.

I don't know if you looked there, but it might be worth a shot?

I guess it might be too late now though... if it was dumped somewhere you'd think the cops would have called you by now :woot:

well good news, today the cops found my car.

by the looks of it they drove to the next suburb, dumped the box of gear that my mate found. tried to do some burnouts, and failed, tyres still have about the same tread on them. and somehow crashed into a pole of some sort. not a huge hit. then took the car to an aged care home and parked it out the back in a carpark, took the stereo which didnt work (dumb flamin mongrels) and looked through the glove box and console to find nothing. and then left it.

they left all my stands and socket se, and cordless drill, and garage jack, and spare set of plates.

i think they musta been kids coz the seat was heaps far forward.

the hit wasnt too bad, bumper, filler panel, smashed head light, bent guard so it was rubbin on the tyre, bent radiator support. fan hitting on the shroud and radiator.

im not sure i could be f**ked fixing it, i might just wreck it. i need a spare gearbox for the drift car anyway.

so all in all a bloody great result, i didnt think id get the gear back. and thats all i really cared about

thanks to everyone for keeping an eye out for it.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes

      I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.

      Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days

      It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
