Silver R33 GTR STOLEN, WSH 489 - Beware current RACKET!

Absolutely devastated.

My silver R33 GTRhas been stolen from my house! Beware, there is a massive racket on at themoment in Vic. I figure this would be a good place to post, as you guys wouldknow what you are looking at on the road, and would often browse for parts on ebay. Iam putting up a fair dinkum $2,000 cash reward for any information that leadsto either recovery of a reasonably intact car, OR that leads to a conviction. Thecar has a few easily recognizable quirks to the trainspotter: R33 series 3 GTRfront bar, with the two N1 cut out squares either side of the number plate, butno inserts in these. Series 3 lip in original black. Stock exterior & rims. Fuel cap is dented and doesn’t sit flush. AirconRemoved. Parts that might pop up:

Oil cooler, with thermostat

Monza, Oil catch / breather can.

Recaro fiberglass bucket seat, Briderails, Monza harness

Garrett 2860-9 turbos, with HKS 1 baractuators

Cooling pro intercooler hard pipe kit

3.5 inch exhaust with Varex 3.5 inch ovalmuffler

Older style APEXi power FC with handsetthat does not light up and has a crack in it

Master cylinder brace

HICAS lock bar

‘Pinnaple kit’ Urethane Bushes

Cusco Upper adjustable camberarms

Castor Rods

Tein Super Street coilovers, 5kgfront, 4kg rear.

Whiteline adjustable swaybars

Ferodo 3000s front & rearrace pads. DBA 5000 series slotted rotors(F). DBA 4000 series slotted rotors®

Thanks for the condolances guys.

Really sux. I suspect someone spotted it as a car of interest, then followed me home because the car was at the very back of my property!!! Unusual though as it is completely stock from the outside. Came in the middle of the night, the rest writes itself...

Was hoping to work on my Winton lap times this year, but obviously not.

Could be in a hundred parts by now :(

ohmy.gifSorry to hear about this bro . I had my GTS- T stolen about two years ago. Thank god the police found it in Broady, LOL. The police are useless in finding them. If it turns up . Mine was stripped of many expensive parts but they where really dumb and left the most expensive stuff. Anyway here's some advice.

  • What mechanics have you taken your car too and did you give them your address, ( lots are heaps dodgy )
  • have you bought spare parts of someone and told them your address
  • have you noticed anyone following you.
  • maybe even someone at a shop you bought something from.

also i hate to say it mate but often it is someone that knows you., so start asking your mates.

Can i just say those parts will end up back on the market most likely. Buying parts off sus people or buying parts that you know are stolen is contributing to the problem. It feels okay when you get a bargain , but when your car gets stolen i guarantee most of you will never buy a stolen part again.

i'll keep a look out bro

I know how it feels sad.gif

Really good advice mate, thanks for that.

Engine work was done by Racepace (I can guarantee you 110% it wasn't them!).

Suspension at Trutrack (definitely not them either)

Does seem fishy because it deliberately just looked so bog stock from the outside. Very recently had the exhaust done at Ringwood performance exhaust. Certainly not accusing them, but if anyone else had a similar experience I wouldn't mind hearing about it. Anyone who walked under the car would have seen all the suspension stuff and I'm sure there are plenty of apprentices that come and go.

My gut feeling though is that I was followed home some time. Should have bought a tracking device and hidden it somewhere, not only would have got my car back but would have landed some scum bags behind bars as well.

^^ there is such a thing as a tracking device?? thought it was just in movies...if so where can i get those...this has made me paranoid abt my cars safety even though its locked up all day unless i am with it...

No, no alarm. Only drove it on track days and occasionally on the road, and stored it at the back of my place. But still a mistake.

I figure if the iphone and my navman knows where I am there must be a tracking device on the market. I have seen them on ebay, but not sure of the effectiveness or quality.

i reckon tracking devices are a bit over the top and if you had 500k lambo, sure, but for a skyline, why bother?

if its insured then claim your insurance and see how you go. it sucks i know, but not a complete loss

if it wasnt insured then thats a different story all together

Yeah I've heard a lot of imports have been getting stolen recently. Had some dream boats try and steal my gtr from my driveway. Locks were all f**ked and they tried to get in through passenger window. Had some dodgy guy with a ratty knock on my door at 1am last night asking if 'john' lived here ;/

There is a R33 GTR about to be wrecked on ebay just listed. There is a pic of the tyres on rims. Are they the same type? Pic in the ad isn't the car being wrecked obviously.

is it black recaro with white writing? swear i spotted this car on forsyth road overpass, like two-three days ago.

having said that could just be same coloured normal gtr guy driving it had a bit of a beard didnt look that old had another guy in the car.

actually dont remember seeing tow sticker must have been someone else.

good luck anyway

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
