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.

    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
    • To drain the Intake Heat Exchanger, there is a crappy drain plug in front of the driver's side front tyre: You should use the largest headed phillips screwdriver you had, and in my case I needed vice grips on the hose above as the plug was tight (tighter than it needed to be, since it has an o-ring seal).  After you have a tray down and open the drain, open the intake heat exchanger reservoir cap (drivers side one) and you should get a couple of litres of coolant To get to the radiator, you need to remove the plastic engine undertray. It is held on with a series of 10mm headed bolts and some clips. For the radiator, there is another type of crappy drain (kind of like a plastic banjo bolt) and you should attach a length of hose to direct the stream of coolant per this pic (otherwise the coolant hits the rad support and goes everywhere). The drain is on the rear of the radiator on the driver's side and a bit hard to find. Put a big tray or bucket down (5l won't be enough) and slowly unscrew the fitting by hand. You only want to remove it far enough for coolant to flow, it you unscrew it right out the whole fitting and direction pipe will come off and you will get a coolant bath (yum!). Undo the radiator reservoir cap and it should empty about 8l
    • So, this shouldn't be such a mission, but there were a few tricks so I thought I'd post up a DIY for it. This was on a Q50 Red Sport but I doubt any other V37 model is very different (maybe just less steps for the intake heat exchanger hoses) I pulled the radiator out to flush it because the car was running hot at the track, but obviously the same steps apply for changing a radiator for any reason including an upgrade. If you are removing the radiator, you of course need to drain and refill, so have 5+ litres of blue coolant ready. You also need to drain the intake heat exchanger to remove the radiator so you will need a couple of litres for that as well. You will also need something to deal with the auto transmission lines, I used 2x 8mm rubber caps on the radiator side, and a short length of 8mm pipe on the car side.....unless you can block these lines quickly you will loose AT fluid and it may be enough to hurt the transmission if you don't refill it. 2 other tools that really help dealing with coolant lines and spring clamps are Bent Needle Nose pliers Hose pliers Between them they will reduce the frustration (and injury) potential by about 1000% Other than that....lets go... "First, jack up your car". Yes really, and put it safely on stands. If you are not confident doing that you need to give this job to a mechanic
    • If the forester is anything like our old 2007 GTB Liberty, I could near on run ling Long's and "rate them", as no matter what, it just hung to the road, even when abusing it in a hard launch in the wet, or throwing it at corners.
