Hi Guys,
It is with great regret that i write this post. I had bought a mint condition 1994 R32 GT-R from the auctions in japan a few months ago and was waiting in anticipation for its arrival in Sydney. It did make it to the port in Wollongong (Port Kembla) where it had been for the past week awaiting clearance. On friday i was notified by the freight company that the car had cleared customs and would be shipped to the compliance workshop early this week. Then today i received a call in which i learnt that my car had been stolen from the docks. After waiting around 9 weeks since purchase and being so close to acquiring my car, you can understand how i am feeling at this point in time. So, could you guys please keep your eyes peeled for a a silver 1994 R32 GT-R with 17" Gold BBS LM's. its fairly stock so i dont believe it would be stripped down and sold for parts. the car is fitted with a HKS EVC, has a small bubble on the left side of the dash and has around 85,000kms. Please help me find the crooks who did this!
Thanks,
Gian

Oh my god :( I shed a tear reading this!

Man you didn't even get to see it or drive it ahhhhhh!! I'd be pulling my hair out.

You covered with insurance from the shipping company and stuff?

Yeah, this is why i didn't import my car. I bought an already imported.
I bet it was whoever was delivering it or someone who works at the docks. No surveillance at the docks?

This is absolutely woeful!!!

As soon as my car hit Australian Territorial Waters, I was permitted Full Comprehensive Insurance. I've mentioned this before.

No-one deserves this however. I hope it's just been taken to the wrong place.

Shit thats really bad...if it isn't complied surely its gna b either a track car or stripped for parts?horrible even sayin those words but car like that should in all fairness turn up its too good to break..i recovered one before it was missing for about 12hrs needed some work but was the worst twelve hours ever

This is so shit man... vetter is so right its even worse you didnt get to even see it or drive it. I see this post was in december of last year, any news? has anyone seen it at all? If not ill definitely keep my eyes peeled, I'm on the road all day with my job mate. I hope to hear some good news back about this!

Shit thats really bad...if it isn't complied surely its gna b either a track car or stripped for parts?

shipped off internationally most likely. thats where most decent cars seem to go.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
