Hi All,

http://www.bordermail.com.au/story/2837966/car-stolen-from-under-nose/

I'm appealing for members of the community to keep an eye out for my vehicle which was stolen from our driveway in Thurgoona, NSW on Thursday night / Friday morning.

The car was my 1994 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-t. Automatic transmission, silver in colour with NSW rego plates AOU-86T.

Car stands out from the outside a fair bit.

It had a 400R bodykit, Carbon Fibre Bonnet, dark tinted windows and brand name stickers down each door.

Drivers side front fender had a crack in it.
Inside, I had painted the dash surround with a flip paint, which changed colour from a dark green to purple colour depending on the angle the sun hits it, HKS turbo timer sits on top of the steering column.
Mechanically, I had added a HKS 2530Kai kit I had imported from Japan (so I would assume it would be a rare turbo kit to come up for sale in Oz), pretty sure the brand was Turbosmart blue anodised blow-off valve with variable volume feature. I had also polished up both engine covers.

The car holds sentimental value to me as it was my first car I had owned (now about 12yrs). I didn't drive it much, so it has really low km's for that year model (92673 kms) as I had only completed my NSW rego check a week or so prior to it being stolen.

Its a real blow to both my wife and I with our first child only about 3 months off being born. It has shaken us up as our house must have been watched for some time prior to the car being taken.. It's a bad feeling not now feeling safe in your own house.

The car was locked and the battery was disconnected at the time. The car had a four inch exhaust from the turbo you would hear it start up!

My assumption is the car was broken into on the driveway and pushed onto a car trailer (but who knows).

I've attached a representative pic of what the bonnet and bodykit on my car looked like.

If you've seen this car or any parts like what I have described being sold can you please PM me or call the Albury Police on (02) 6023 9299.

Thankyou,

Adrian.

Hi Terry,

Unfortunately no CCTV at our place or in the street, but I have spoke to our developer who has a multitude of CCTV camera's around their display homes at the start of the estate. Hopefully they were dumb enough to exit that way out of the estate (two exits) and our developer captured something. Will know more Tuesday from them.

Yeah, being on the border, I've posted to NSW and Vic forums. Also posted to whole cars for sale forum.

Thankyou.

what bastards. i am from wagga. own a silver 96 r33 gtst. will keep an eye out as there are not many around this way and is a stand out vehicle. i hope the police get them . Makes me worried about mine.

My gtr got broken into 3am Saturday morning, thanks to my alarm calling me and smsing me I woke up went down stairs and herd someone trying to open the door so I quietly went back upstairs and got my wife to call the cops

I then went and sat in a spot where I could keep an eye on the car, I thought to myself if I go rage and run down he might have a weapon or run off and return a later day

Somehow I kept my cool to sit and wait for police, I then herd "get on the floor don't move don't move!!" And people running so I jump down the stairs and see 6 cops slam this scum to the floor and handcuff him

He was taken to the local station where he is known for theft

My previous gtr was stolen back in 2012, with this gtr I went all out on the alarm/pager/gps and I did all I could to really catch this son of a bitch

Thankfully no body damage to get into the car but the obviously the ignition barrel and wires under the steering are all fudged

I first got the call from the alarm at 3:10, cops were there at 3:25 and he still couldn't start the car, suck shit

Can't stress how important a good alarm system is people, spending $1200 on a alarm is cheap compared to loosing a gtr

Wow. Thats a good result. Out of a bad situation of course.

I'm sure everyone would want to smash the guy, but the reality is you will be the one in trouble not him. Shit system...

Great result Michael!

* Even if he makes bail (in this nany state), I don't think he'll come back to your place - that's taboo to him.

* If he's on drugs, he probably won't repent and get a job because he won't know how to get and keep one.

* Your presence of mind and patience to let things happen is to be admired.

yes a good alarm is worth it. There has been a spate of scum burning parked cars on the street here in Wagga and the usual car theft of older cars. They are always found burnt out. Mainly happening in the poorer class suburbs. A good result for you Michael but if any low life gets into my joint or my skyline be prepared to meet my baseball bat or my monster dog.Its always self defence though but I would need a good barrister, or claim being mental. That works.

My GTS25T got broken into 2 weeks ago at my front door in my driveway about 1:30 Friday morning was kinda weird my dogs were going off my wife yelled out shuddup boys then I came down for work was putting my work boots on and noticed my interior light on in my car went outside and my passenger door was open.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
