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.

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.

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.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
