lol, im sorry about the car, but jsut seems stupid that a falcon can be worth that

I love my imports...but are you for real XY GTHO's are hawt and now woth upto $600 000.00

Edited by Slow S13
My dad owned an origional GTHO Falcon worth upwards from 150k got stollen 4 or so years back... lots of slack people out there, but what goes around comes around.

the point is; what goes around , doesn't come around to the thieving scum. when the thief gets caught [if he gets caught]he usually gets only a slap on the wrist. hardly a deterrant when there are large sums of money to be made stealing rare/valuable cars etc. we all pay for the stolen cars in higher insurance premiums.

There should be a mandantory death setence for car thieves..

better still, open season on them..a kind of civil service.

Maybe Cpt. A. Blythe could come up with something, licensing..quota's..on the spot penality's.

Anyone know of an insurance company that would payout more than $8k current market value on a R33 that's had over $25k sunk into it?? Insurance..must be joking!

My insurance pays out 14k if my R33 gets stolen, so it definately beats your 8k hahah. Oh and mines pretty much stock too, i said it had an exhaust system and a sound system, thats it i think.

Even having insurance doesn't mean you get your money back, you gotta pay for the insurance claim and 98% of people here have probably spent more on their car than insurance will come close covering.

That's the point I was actually making, most insurance won't cover anything like the value you've sunk into your car, just current market value. Red book on a '95 non turbo R33 is 8 - 10k, depending on condition.

Even agreed value, if you look at the conditions on a lot of contracts says 'agreed value or current market value, whichever is lower' which is a total rip.

COOL ATTITUDE; BUT HAVE YOU HAD A CAR STOLEN?

Cool post.

BUT HAVE YOU READ MORE THAN THE FIRST 3 POSTS IN A THREAD?

True..

I've never had anything decent..

like your rare '93 HCR32 & '93 Nova

I've had a non insured car stolen before.

$16K worth of S14.

My stupid mistake for thinking no-one would want a stock series 1 S14.

I learnt from that.

so everything is insured.

But it's true.. I guess i don't care for cars as much as I used to.

it's just a car now.

gets washed occasionally, gets fuel and gets serviced.

If it gets stolen, it will save me the hassle of going through trying to sell an R33 gtst.

That's going to be fun soon enough I guess.

iadore4door34s - I asume you have a rare 4 door R34 now? no doubt with the rare glorified auto? or are you in to just dreaming about them?

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
