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.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
