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.

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.

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!!

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      By Duncan · Posted

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?

      Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
