So i came home after 3 days and my cars gone.

Parked on Ivenhoe Street in Glen Waverley.

It was a 93 Red R33 GTS-T, with a series 2 spoiler.

had an after market exhaust

lots of scratches on the front bumper

no badges or anything.

It was locked with a alarm/immobaliser, and was parked right infront of my house.

I honestly have no idea how they took it with out waking up the neighbors. The car it self is loud and the alarm ontop of that.

Reported to the Glenny police, hopefully I'll find it soom.

If you guys hear/see anything thats helpful please email me or call 9566 1555 (glen waverley police)

I'm thinking could it might just be some undercover going around taking skylines away because they sort of "thought" that placing booze buses around ain't taking these "dangerous" cars off the streets to make the streets "safer", therefore taking them away and then pushing the blame onto low life dickies. But this is just a wild thought, maybe too much tv for me.

someone got his car towed from some carpark, in broad daylight.

I wont be surprised if they used a towtruck for yours/mine, but really, why target old cars like outs?

Thats what im thinking, All that effort for car thats few grand...

Interestingly enough talking to my house mate a week ago, he told me another car got stolen right out of the driveway on our street. and first thing i did was upgrade my insurance cover, plus i was leaving the car there for few days. but it was RIGHT in front of my house. i mean 5m in front of my drive way. under a street light. it just freaking pisses me off

Sorry to hear Hesh. Do you have any pics of the car you can post? Were there any unusual mods or anything like that?

Only thing thats noticeable are the scratches to the front bumper. the left side of the bumer was almost white from dmg. it had stock wheels but not the small cap that covers the bolts on the wheel.

Roof was a lil rusted on the left side, it wasnt peeling or anything.

the care it self was pretty dirty. haven't washed for a while.

After market exhaust (but almost all skylines have that)

on the drivers side, that small plastic cover that goes along the top of the door to keep water splashing in was missing.

on the front bumper both grills were missing. so theres are 2 small opening under the indicators on the front bumper.

you will have problems if you've changed the insurance cover in any way close to the theft. they're gonna suss you out really really badly.

they can suss me out all the want. i didnt do anything illegal or lied to anyone about it :)

Well.

Its not that you've done anything illegal or anything. But, it is a massive pain. more than the 14 days initially promised i can guarantee you.

Oh really?? The GTR?

Is it recovered?

Not recovered. Yup, the 32R.

Well.

Damn! ok.. well this is the first time im ever making a claim. any tips? heads up on what they gona do?

If they check you out it's coz you've upgraded your cover (to full comp I'm guessing) and not long after your car is stolen and ur making a claim.

If you haven't done anything wrong, just make sure you've got a good explanation as to why you upgraded your cover

I'd say another car being stolen in your street, and the fact you were going away would be a decent reason to upgrade

Thats exactly what i was going to say. It was mainly wasnt for theft but mostly if someone hit my car and drove off. seeing as i wasnt going to be home for the next three days.

Im waiting on the police to get back to me over the next few days if the cars not damaged and only need a good clean up im not going to make a claim. the excess is probably more than what it'll take me to patch up the car.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
