Last night my front personalised plate was stolen off my car from out front of my place at Alexandra Heads.

"GTS R33" - Black Plate with White Writing

If anyone has info about this please PM me. I have already reported it stolen to the police.

Any help would be appreciated.

I seen it parked up along side on the hill somewhere along coolum beach (sorry have no idea on areas in sunny coast). Hopefully you didnt park your car there mate, cuz it sticks right out.

I think its 350 fine or something like that for not showing the front plates, I cant remember exactly the price, but i know for sure its a illegal to drive without front plates.

It is always parked there and i have never had any problems until the past week. It has been egged twice. I have been told who it was but cant do anything as I dont have proof, this guy drives a ford and hates imports. Him and mates egged cars including a merc that reported them to police, but nothing was done. All I can do now is wait and hope for the best.

Hey man, i had my plates stolen a few years back, i know who did it, but thats besides the point. anyway i reported it to cops and had to fork out for another set of plates. what the police did was nothing, and just put a flag on my plates as "STOLEN" so for the next 3 years when driving round, id get pulled up for no reason coz the plates were flagged and harassed by the cops, after a while i got sick of it and blew up at the cops told them i wanted him to go back to the station and remove the flag from my plates, as it was bullshit. I havent been picked on since. i know your pain man, its a pain in the arse, the only thing you can do is pay for replacement plates and get some good secirty screws on there. but if they ripped them off, not alot is going to stop them taking them. being where u live man, i can bet it was some drunk wankers walking home from the clubs or something. thats the usuall story behind it. i can garauntee that they will either be up on somebodys wall as an ornament or disposed of down the road soemwhere in a bush or bin. il keep an ear out anyway for you, but unless police actually go into the place for some other reason and find your plates in there, then i dont like your chances of getting them back.

Cheers

Darren

yeah because a replacement plate will cost $1150

No but thats what 1 plate cost, which i have already paid for. Plus now I have to repay about $440 to have them remade.

$2295 - initial plate cost ($1150 each)

$440 - replacement cost

$2735 - total amount paid to have a pair of plates.

If something of yours you paid for was stolen you have lost that value of money since you have parted with that money and have nothing to show for it.

If you pay to get another its an extra expense.

I dont see any sense in your sarcasm.

Id just get a set of new personliased plates but not prestige mate.

Spend $440 or somethen and get "AHR33" OR "HAR33" OR "AHH33"

if you sound it out its just R33 which is pretty sweet. Im still saving :P

Whoever stole your plates is a complete loser who obviously has nothing better to do with there life. what a c***

Yep same as me, I still get pulled over in relation to my R34 that was stolen 4 years ago....it's super fun! The bizzare bit is I wasn't pulled over for a good 3 years, it's the past year where I'm getting nailed a lot.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
