Hey people,

It brings me much pain to write that I've had my garage broken into & a handful of parts stolen, at home, while I was asleep in bed...

Last week on either Wed or Thurs night between about midnight & 4am some low life scumbags let themselves in to my garage at home, unbolted some parts off my race car (using & then taking MY tools) & also took some other parts I had in there also...

I will be MORE than happy to pay good money for information regarding the matter as some of the stuff taken was of GREAT importance to me...

Parts include:

1. Nissan RB GTS-R manifold, I have only ever seen one other here in Adelaide so they are super rare.

2. Front mount Intercooler kit off race car, which they used my tools to remove.

3. De-lensed & L.E.D fitted custom R34 headlights, again this is totally custom & 100% unique.

4. Rattle gun, ratchet spanner set, various other tools...

5. Turbo which came with the GTS-R manifold, Unknown jap brand.

6. Intake pipe & Z32 AFM (plug wires cut for quick removal)

There is probably more, but for now this is what I know of...

Some of the parts are fairly generic, however, the Manifold & headlights CANNOT be mistaken...

I hand picked that manifold from a small backstreet garage in Japan back in 2009, bought an entire motor (cos the owner wouldn't separate) & have been holding onto it ever since, waiting for a car to put it on... Which finally arrived just 3 days later :(

There is nothing worse than people who steal from private, individuals who work their arses off to get what they have & have fought for everything they own & it's becoming more & more of a problem every day...

Please keep eyes & ears out for any of the above, & if you know something & wanna make some money, PM me :)

thanks everyone...

A dog is definitely an option. but hard when you're renting... Parts stolen from the Crafers/Stirling/Upper Sturt area so not exactly the kinda thing that happens around here... Obviously someone who knew already or has been here before... There are 1 or 2 suspects at the top of my list who have bought parts off me, who I don't know otherwise but who have been here to pick stuff up... Logically it makes the most sense to be someone like this... So just need to start sniffing around... Pretty spewin I did em good deals on the parts now! :(

I would also like to repeat the fact that I will happily pay good money for info regarding this stuff... Adelaide is a small place... SOMEONE must know SOMETHING!!

Come forth & get cashed up!!

  • 4 weeks later...

More to add to the list of stolen goods...

I know it seems odd to only realise now, but a set of rims were also taken that night... Yet again, a VERY unique set that are like no others...

Didn't realise they were gone until looking for them tonight to show to a potential buyer, but yes, they were in the garage too...

Work VSXX black centre with polished dish... 18" x 9" front & 19" x 10" rears, high offset & have been drilled to suit 5 x 114 as they were originally another stud pattern... will upload pic as long as it lets me.

    • 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.
