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.

    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
    • Yeah, Duncan is helping sell me back to Android devices. I've hated the whole Android head units due to their speed issues. Even in my old Hyundai Kona (2022 model), it behind the scenes was Android, and slow and shitty to start up. Once running wasn't bad, but still a good 15 to 30 seconds.
    • My roof rails are off atm on the E39 until the rust is fixed. I did find another little bit of surface rust under the rails when I took them off. As @soviet_merlin said I'd just leave them alone unless you're planning on ensuring they're properly sealed. I was on the fence about leaving them off as the delete is still a thing in BMW E39's but I feel like the car is missing something (er, it is, der) with them off and I'm looking forward to putting them back on.
