Thankyou so much Mark for posting this up. I guess I should be grateful my car was found but I never expected it would be in this condition. I've attached a couple of pics of what she looks like now. Its f***ing disgusting. The thugs have been charged but they have been doing this for a while and they won't be stopped. I am now plotting my revenge.

Like Mark said, the engine and wheels are missing along with the exhaust. It looks as though they took all the panels off the car, stole my stereo, ipod, cd's etc and then kicked the absolute crap out of the car and attacked it with an axe. They spared my front bar (i'd say they were going to sell it). Every other panel has damage (athough possibly repairable) and yeah Just Cars have classed it as a write-off. They left my gearbox behind so I have sold that. I bought the car back from insurance for $1000 and am trying to sell what parts I can. I've still got the coilovers, brakes, panels (doors are still good), the drivers seat and part of the back seat.

I am now on the hunt for another R33 as nice as mine was but it's a bit depressing trying to deal with at the moment. And yeah, my car had an alarm and immoboliser which was still hooked up when i got the car back so I am at a loss for words as to how they stole it.

If anyone is after parts just give me a call on 0418630495. And cheers again everyone for your kind words.

Belinda.

Sorry I can't PM you...my post count isn't high enough. Ring or text me on 0418 630 495. I am home all day and will be home tonight. You are more than welcome to come see what parts you want. Give me a call and I'll give you the address.

Mate I know exactly how u feel! I had my car stolen and written off a few months back and I still feel sick in the stomach thinking about it. I ended up doing the same thing as you and buying my car back from the insurance company for $300 as I knew the value of the parts that were still intact. I'm amazed that they broke into your car and didn't set off any alarms! Quite scary actually considering that almost nothing can stop thieves these days. Was your car garaged or parked on the driveway? My car is now garaged every night, with a steering wheel lock, wheel clamp, alarm and immobiliser protecting it. Sorry again to hear about your loss and let us know how the hunting goes for a new skyline :)

The legal system wont do much to pursue justice. I know a guy that knows a guy, feel like buying a shotty? :)

I dont know how you could even look at it. Ive personally seen some dirty shit in my day, but this made me cringe.

All the best with selling off parts, did just car give you a fair price for it?

Yeah the whole thing is pretty scary. The skyline was parked in my driveway beside my Clubby (hubby was taking up the double bay shed with his car cause he was doing a motor swap). I have no idea how they broke into it without anyone hearing an alarm. It truly was the worst day of my life. And yeah it's so hard looking at that crumpled mess everyday but in a way its nice having her home. That might sound ridiculous but i reckon its better back home with me than in the hands of those thugs.

I love the shotgun idea. I did ask if I could buy a shotty but my husband said NO. Lol.

I did put a deposit on another R33 Series 2 tonight. I can't believe how hard it is buying another car. I want MY car back. I keep making comparisons between my Skyline and this one I'm buying but it's a very tidy car and well looked after. I wanna make some small changes on it first off...like changing the exhaust and fitting an intercooler. I am pretty new to the import world so I might be bugging you guys a fair bit with questions.

And thanks again for the comments guys. Its nice knowing people are so passionate about their cars.

Cheers, Belinda.

its hard to find something and nothing will really ever compare.

when you buy your next car, get a doberman or rotty. :D

hubby cant say no to an upset wife who just bought a puppy to cheer her up can he? >_<

all the best with the search though :banana:

when you do find something you should head up to the baskins meet ;):banana:

Haha I've actually got 2 dogs that are excellent guard dogs and very protective. But me, being the lovely person I am, let the dogs sleep inside that week the Skyline was stolen because it was cold. That will teach me won't it.

Picked up my new Skyline last night. It has some very big shoes to fill but I love it already and am very happy. If this one gets stolen, I will be out for blood!!

holy shite!

Sorry to see your car end up like that....

I never leave my car any where i own a dirty 1980 mod patrol just to go shopping lol.

My car is locked in the shed they would have to smash my house to get it.

Plus i have a killer black cat that lives inside!!

While I did predict it, I'm sorry to hear it mate, as I said before it was a pretty sweet lookin' ride

    • Impossible to remove the housing while turbo is installed on the manifold on the engine. So I have to do it anyways. I plugged it so there will not be any debris in there. Will vacuum aswell 
    • would a r34 gtr hood line up with gt/gtt stock fenders? after latch, front bumper and hinges are swapped for gtr ones? or would the fenders be too low or high in relation to the hood surface? ( I believe seeing somewhere that gtr front fenders use some type of riser for the sides, but do not know how that relates to stock gt/gtt fenders.)    
    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
