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.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
