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.

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

    • I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...
    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
