Very sorry to hear about this alex_c. I will keep my eyes open around here.

A timely reminder to us (certainly me) to consider where we store our keys and spare keys at home too.

i keep my keys next to my bed, or with me even if im out and the cars at home..

i know its no GTR but its just as much valuable to me..

cant imagine the feeling this guy must have.

For them to break in, go straight to the keys, avoid all other possessions, know how to stealthily navigate the residence, open the garage, and take off in the cars means this is well thought out.

2 cars means a three person job. One to get them there, one per car stolen.

They would have had to know the cars were in the garage. (easy when just scoping out the house)

They would have had to know where the keys were (prior knowledge of inside the house).

They would have had to know which door leads to the garage, and how to open the garage door (if it's not a conventional door).

This just screams some sort of associate of your uncle. Someone who has been inside the house.

police are they now watching the video recording the robbers are wearing full body gear and glove and it was a 3 people job because in the recording you and see the car they drove to the house in parked across the road :( i dont think we will ever see them again and the cars dont have trackers in them

Will keep an eye out.

Obviously the thieves know these cars are easy to spot on the roads, it's highly likely the plates have been swapped by now especially if they're/were custom ones.

Insurance?? Please say yes...

Please update this thread with info as you find it, I'd love to see these f**kers get shat in by the law.

That's suck, man. I really hope you guys find the cars. You would have all the Vin numbers, so put them in your report as well.

They are near new and easy to spot, so hopefully they turn up somewhere. My guess is also it had to be someone who know the house and some people living there.

Good luck. Will keep an eye out too.

Sad news...

Going by my experience, i.e. watching Gone In 60 Seconds...cars will already be on a boat. All I can say is, thank (insert deity here) for insurance.

Shouldn't be difficult to track down if they get parted out/sold locally.

    • Cheers. Skyline is back on the menu, can’t get rid of it. It’s like a child you don’t want, or herpes 
    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
