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

  • 2 weeks later...

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)

A birdie told me there has been a sh!t load of GPS trackers coming into ACT... seems to me like its only a matter of time before we catch ourselves a mouse in a trap.

Pm me details please. i need 3.

    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
    • Quite right, if you make it to that pension you deserve every cent
    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
