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.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      forgot to mention that when it does this it does not kill the engine, but I have not kept the pedal down long enough to let it, as I see no reason to beat up on it as its got to be something simple, small and dumb causing this.  And as soon as I let off pedal, the engine returns to its normal super smooth operation and rpms re-stabilize quickly, once below 4k.

      98 R34GTT 4k engine stumble

      By JC71 · Posted

      neither stumble or cut really seem to be an appropriate term....hard to explain its like a rev limiter but at 4k, but it violently shakes engine and entire vehicle as the rpms will not rise over 4k, even with slow acceleration. as soon as it hits 4k, it sounds like entire spark is lost entirely. plugs were 1.1 which I used as such, but later put in new plugs gapped down to .8 changed back after issue arose when I replaced the coils, still does it with either plug gap...damn and it was all running so good.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Oh how times have changed! I actually lean it out relative to my water/methanol injector duty cycle. The methanol adds a lot of fueling and you can then lean it out even more due to reduced knock.

      Yeah my thoughts are the same, a well thought out WMI setup, would be slightly ahead of just straight E85 and you're also chemically intercooling the charged air, dropping it even further. This is why you need to add so much more fuel as soon as you spray. I remember someone taking me through their set up before (Dennis, has a R33, lives around Cabramatta - no idea if he's still around on this forum). He would target AFR 10:1 on 98, then as WMI ramped on, AFR would lean back up to 11:1. Amazingly, he did this all through his PowerFC, a relay to cut power to his EBC solenoid if there was not enough line pressure on his WMI kit. And of course, if there wasn't any boost made above gate pressure, you wouldn't be accessing the load cells with heaps of timing for WMI. One downside to that rudimentary setup, once the WMI came on, the EBC would unleash the dragon, and of course all the timing. Tyres would fry lol.
