Had my R32 GTS4 stolen on Tuesday night/ Wednesday morning. I've only had it for one month. It was parked in Newport area (near Port Adelaide) right out the front of my brothers house where I was sleeping. It's a quiet area with units and townhouses so no cars ever go down the street during the night.

Got a call at 5.30am from the cops asking me if I owned a black skyline. I'm like "yeah".

Then they asked me where abouts I thought it was. I'm like "out the front of my brothers house".

Then there like can you check to see if it's out the front of your brothers place. I'm like, "Sure" (By this stage I knew it wasn't where I left it).

So yeah it wasn't there anymore and I'm like "Um is it ok?" The cop is like "Um no it's not ok." :D

Apparently it was seen cruising with another white skyline, possibly stolen too. They both fueled up and did a runner from a servo on Port Road. Then it was found some hours later crashed into a parked car.

So yeah someone had a friggen good night out in my R32 and I'm pissed off because I wasn't there to experience it. Still waiting on insurance to see if they will fix this or pay me out. Hope your week has been better than mine!

I'm keen to park a skyline somewhere one day and hide and wait for some bastard to try steal it. Then I'll jump out of the bushes with a baseball bat and drop the mother f***er. Anyone up for this?

Was an alarm / immobiliser fitted?

I feel really stupid for not yet fitting an immobiliser/alarm. I've been too caught up fixing all the other things that were wrong with her. I'm from the country you see, normally my skyline is sitting in a locked shed. The one night I stay in town, this is what happens. Whatever can go wrong will go wrong.

If anyone is thinking of stealing a skyline, they better hope to hell they don't steal my next one because I will be running at them with a f***ing baseball bat.

Bloody scum theives! :P

Oh well, lesson learnt ... immobilisers (if not an alarm) are vital.

I also keep a clublock on the car, just to make things even harder.

And if they try to steal my ride, they better be an Olympic sprinter. The last two times people tried stealing my car/bike they lost. :D

oh no not another skyline....arrrgghhh some people are low life scums mate.....i think more and more skylines are being stolen as the crims have realised that there is more fun to be had in an import then a shit box VL/VN commy.....so time to get the alarms upgraded or get one if you dont have one.....make sure you have a very sensitive shock sensor that will go off from a little tap.....

look on the upside....its not in a big mess and can be worked on to get it back on the road again :D

that sucks mate...... but it is port adelaide?, a dump

and no alarm, just asking for it. parking on the street is like having a flag on it in neon, "steal me"!!

at least you got it back in fixable condition not smoking still.

so I take it your first item to buy is a ADR approved alarm ?

wish the police would actually put the car theft crims behind bars, not a slap on the hand off you go.

farking scum in this town who steal cars and trash them.

i cant believe that there's been a few reported stolen in the last week?

i'll have to test out my alarm to see if it is loud when set off.

might get a club lock too?

it's probably a group of punks on a drug high going around flogging skylines, low life scum. i hope they get what they deserve. i hope they hurt themselves in the crash!

even with a decent alarm i am still thinking of having it club locked just to be on the safe side of things

multi layered security is the way to slow them down and move on to easier cars

That really sucks, sorry to see what some scumbags do. Hopefully your insurance pays you out and you can buy something bigger and better. Dont let thieving pricks put you off imports, as much as its sucks for them to trash your car.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
