Cant find the orginal thread.. but this is the latest update.

Our R32 GTR was stolen here is the original thread http://www.boostcruising.com/forums/index....1&t=40699&st=0&

SUCCESS - The car was the car used to hold up the westpac bank at bundall today , the thieves botched the bank robbery and took off in the GTR and dumped it close by.

Yes it was the same car as on the news , i will get a copy of the tape for you to download and have a look at the news story.

At present the car is in a police holding yard and can not be released until forensic testing has been done. I personally went to the holding yard and was totally denied any acces to even look at the car from a distance , but on channel 9 gold coast news it did show the plates and it was definately our car . On the news the car looked still in perfect condition from the outside (who knows if there is any damage yet) but the person at the holding yard told me that from what he saw the car still looked 100% .. (i hope so).. from the news it even looked like they had washed it.. lol

So as it stands we have not seen the car but we definately know this is the our car , but have not physically seen it ourselves to check the condition. The car should be ready for release on monday..

So there was 3 offenders of ethnic appearance and after having the car for a few weeks i say that they would have left thier fingerprints all over it and HOPEFULLY they are caught somewhere along the line , also being a bank robbery the cops will hopefully be taking the matter very seriously. but i have been told that if caught they are likely to get a $500 fine.. for the car theft.. (our legal system is encouraging car theft in my opinion ) , but hopefully spend some time in jail and get some hardcore anal pounding...

Im spewing one of us did not catch them first and inflict some serious injuries on these people . Through this whole ordeal we have had so much support from all of our brothers here at SA and we sincerely thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!

Now you would think that we would have had a call from the police today saying "Your car has been found and used in a robbery". But it was a Gold Coast local who called us up who had seen a flyer we had handed out at frank st BP servo , He rang us and said "i have just seen your car on the back of a flatbed towtruck" so we rang the towies and they confirmed the car , (this is 3pm , the robbery was at opening time of the bank) and the car was dumped close to the bank in benowa or something. So its 6pm the cops still had not called so we went to the copshop to see what was going on , they did the enquiries and confirmed it.. how friggin slack is that???.. But Josh if you read this you will be rewarded for your effort mate well be in contact..cheers!!

Thanks again everyone , sorry for the long post but i will keep you updated with the news story so u can all have a look , if someone could host this vid file PM 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.
