I saw the car around 2.15 comming off the freeway onto charles street heading north, gave dave a buzz and had a chat to him.. poor bugger..

hope they catch the bastards

two reasons it caught my attention a> i know neil who owns the other orange 180 c-red had,and it was pissing along through the lights so it caught my attention in a hurry

Just got back from the owners (dave) house.

The motor starts fine, we added some coolant and cranked it over, it has a exhaust leak (gasket) from the turbo. The boys are there now doing a oil and coolant flush and will find out the outcome later, it all sounds to be correct but wont know for sure.

The genuine M-Sport from bar (brand new) has been crunched, with about 5-7 cracks in it, nothing too bad quite fix-able. The drivers fender is mashed, that needs the be replaced.

They stole the Stereo (head unit, sub, amp, splits) and took off a couple of stickers/badge's off.

The car looks to be in pretty good condidtion, they didnt even do any burn outs! (no rubber over the rear of the bumber)

They didnt catch the theifs, but the cops have a pretty good idea who they are. (Male driver and female passenger in there eirly 20's)

The police said to the owner Dave "along the straights is was too quick, around the courners is the only place we could make up distance."

They also bought out the Police chopper to give chase as well.

Dave is very thankfull to everyone who helped him. :cheers:

It is a worrying trend that alot more cars are being stolen, it's been quiet prevelent over east and it seems to be starting here:( Time to improve car security and carry a big stick in the car;)

The Silvia guys are soon gonna look at a keypad immobilser group buy. basically (for those that dont know) its a 10 digit keypad where you have to put in a pin number to start the car. Good for when theives get your keys.

If SAUWA guys are interested maybe we can get some more buyers here.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
