Unfortunately I saw this car on the side of the road after what it looked like impacting the gutter sideways on my way home yesterday. I hope they catch the f**kers involved!

Just got referred to this website, the silver R33 that hit the gutter in Kambah was mine. Taken ~5:45 Monday afternoon. PM me if you want any details that may actually assist in regards to the white skyline this thread is about.

Good to see that people have each other's backs around Canberra, even people they don't know :D

Finally saw MY car for the first time in 2 weeks. Out at Pickles, the cops AND NRMA failed to tell me it had been taken from police holding. Pathetic pricks probably aren't going to even assess it to get a quote for repairs because it's "too old". From the outside, the damage HARDLY looks bad. 4 ruined rims, f**ked suspension on one side (though they replace all as far as I know), and whatever else took a flogging in the way of steering / drivetrain. Though from looking under the car as best I could, not even the exhaust (sitting at 100mm clearance) has made contact with the ground on it's way up the gutter.

Should I at least try to demand they assess the car before calling it a write-off? I mean, other than the rims, not much else looked very damaged at all. The car was just sagged at the back obviously due to suspension damage.

OH! and the icing on the cake is...THE BASTARDS LEFT IT OUTSIDE @ PICKLES WITH THE WINDOW DOWN. IN THE STORM WE HAD THE OTHER DAY. Amazing...

Import = expensive to repair, and if the diff is stuffed I think you're better getting the money then a repaired car.

If anyone sees their CONFIRMED stolen car PM me if they want assistance.

If you want the cops, tell them you've got a gun and you're going to kill them. They will turn up then.

Of course I'd rather the money, but considering their methods of determining what to do about my car, and how they've treated it during this, I dare say the costs in repairing it might not be my problem soon.

Either way, I'm out of pocket $4k for a car I owned 2 months if they just give me the money.

i dont know if im being a little to careful but today i saw something very sus, there is a r33 parked in a busy carpark a car with 3 individuals (20 something wearing hoodies an those stupid Corey partyboy sunglasses) enters see the skyline stop about a meter away all three individuals look at the skyline then one of them gets on his phone while still looking at the skyline they drive a few meters park and wait in there car all three still look at the skyline for about 5min and then drive off...............everyone should read this as the skyline steeling is going to continue and by the looks of it they are picking their next victims. the skyline i mentioned is mine and i always have my eye it i know car thieves read forums its usually how they find out about your car so when i see something sus i take note of it

i say we buy a cheap 33 or 32 shell, fill it to the brim with explosives, park it somewhere, and wait

I hear my 33 could do with stock rims, then perhaps something to hold it up (collapsed shocks). Tow it somewhere and wait.

Takers?

i haven't had a car taken but had it vandalised and rims stolen (the problem was taken care of because it was in a small town where i know alot of people) i didnt get my rims back but my car was fixed but it was still a horrid horrid feeling!! I than upgraded my alarm but am about to do a serious alarm upgrade, everyone will know if someone so much as lifts my door handle when it is armed.. I am so paranoid about my car i literally park it outside my bedroom window and at the front door of work at one job and the back door at the other. (in other words i can always see it or hear it :) yay)

      What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!

      An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it

      A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not
