Absolutely devastated.

My silver R33 GTR has been stolen from my house! Beware, there is a massive racket on at the moment in Vic. I figure this would be a good place to post, as you guys would know what you are looking at on the road, and would often browse for parts on ebay. I am putting up a fair dinkum $2,000 cash reward for any information that leads to either recovery of a reasonably intact car, OR that leads to a conviction. The car has a few easily recognizable quirks to the trainspotter: R33 series 3 GTR front bar, with the two N1 cut out squares either side of the number plate, but no inserts in these. Series 3 lip in original black. Stock exterior & rims. Fuel cap is dented and doesn’t sit flush. Aircon Removed. Parts that might pop up:

Oil cooler, with thermostat

Monza, Oil catch / breather can.

Recaro fiberglass bucket seat, Bride rails, Monza harness

Garrett 2860-9 turbos, with HKS 1 bar actuators

Cooling pro intercooler hard pipe kit

3.5 inch exhaust with Varex 3.5 inch oval muffler

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

Master cylinder brace

HICAS lock bar

‘Pinnaple kit’ Urethane Bushes

Cusco Upper adjustable camber arms

Castor Rods

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

Whiteline adjustable swaybars

braided brake lines Braided clutch line. Removal of brake rotor hats to allow better cooling

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

Extreme TSC torque split controller

52mm aluminium radiator.

Appreciate any help guys and hope it doesnt happen to anyone else.

Are R33 GTR's highly stolen performance car???

I'm afraid that every GT-R is a thief magnet.

If not for its shape or performance, some rock spiders already have outstanding parts orders to strip it or stick it in a container ready to go to SE Asia.

What alarm/immobiliser model was fitted?

Why do i get the feeling that's a loaded question?

Not getting ready to pontificate by any chance are you, R31?

huh?

i want to know what brand. It's a rather clear question i thought.

Usually there is a theme with crooks that know certain alarm systems, seen it before.

and given insurance would require it, there isn't a super vast pool size of Aust approved ones.

most people wouldnt have a insurance approved one as all the expensive ones that people like have colored wires.

where as my daily has a jaycar one purely for this reason.

    • 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.
