Long time lurker I think I'm a first time poster
At 1:30 last night (19/04/2015) a pair of jackasses stole my pride and joy from Fairfield in Victoria
2je5qo7.jpg
My Midnight Purple 1995 r33 GTR Vspec
REGO: UED 795
V/N No: 6T91MPV97S1WDR001
ENGINE No: RB26051133A
As you can imagine I am completely devastated (I freaking loved the car)
The car has been serviced and worked on by Racepace here in Vic since 2006 and was in amazing condition, the photos probably don't do it justice.
The Volk ce38n's had a little bit of gutter rash on them but more distinctively had a grove around the inside of one of the rims where a rock managed to get jammed between the caliper and the wheel.
Bellow is a list of parts that were on it
18 * 10.5 Volk CE 38n's on Bridgestone 285/30/18 RE55
3.5 inch Race Pace straight through exhaust
Apexii PowerFC Computer and controller
TEIN RS suspension and camber arms
Alcon brakes (6 pot front, 4 pot rear)
Garrett 2860r turbos
Koyo Radiator
and a bunch of other stuff like a new clutch, oil cooler and custom catch can, rear harness bar and front harnesses.
Forgive the pictures but I'm on my not on my computer typing this.

Yeah it was in a "secure" carpark, however earlier in the week someone broke into another car and stole a remote for the garage door.

The car had an old alarm and immobilizer however it had been stuffing up and sometimes not engaging. So I'm not sure if they managed to bypass it or if it just wasn't on.

The suspension was racepace modified. Come to think of it I may have the number for them somewhere, I'll have to go through my 10 years worth of receipts I have for the car :S

Thanks Guys don't like my chances of finding it in one piece :(

Figured I should put up the CCTV images of one of the jerks that was given to me from the apartment block.

They are also CE28ns not 38s should have proof read!

Sorry for the slow reply, I totally missed the thread coming back up.

After the pictures hit facebook we managed to get a name for the person who stole it. We passed this along to the police and they sent a patrol car to drive past the front of his house and that was about it, it took weeks of passing bits of information along to them till they finally raided a number of properties that he lived in.

They found a number of stolen cars but sadly not mine :( His trial is in a few months, I'm not even sure if they will even try to bust him for stealing my car along with the other three. Apparently he is suspected of stealing a fair few cars around the area in the last year.

Funny enough he was already on parole for stealing a Porsche to fund has Ice addiction a few years back.

The car hasn't been recovered and he isn't talking, why would he? He will be out in a few months and hell he got bloody married a few weeks ago in prison apparently.

    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
    • The video for the servicing and fuel filter change can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44 One of the main jobs I wanted to do before the car officially went on the road, was to remove the awful looking blue silicone hoses. There's nothing wrong with having coloured silicone hoses, but I realise as I'm getting older I prefer monotone engine bays with a splash of colour on the engine cover(s). I cover this in a lot more detail in the Youtube video, so unfortunately there's limited photos of the process. The intercooler, upper radiator, boost vacuum and upper breather hoses were all changed to black silicone with mikalor clamps. The only blue left is a blanking cap at the back of the inlet manifold and the GReddy pulleys (which will be replaced for stock when the cambelt gets replaced) While the intercooler pipes were off I gave them a quick clean/polish too A before photo I do have a replacement air filter on its way. Fuse box covers were painted blue, they're now satin black Another job on the list while the bumper was off, is to add some mesh https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737966256_99b28bfa30_c.jpg[/img] I was hoping to use some thin wire to secure it, but it seems I've misplaced it and the wire I had was too thick to twist easily. I ended up using cable ties for the time being https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131882_c2b7989dcc_c.jpg[/img] Was pleasant to see this https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54737131627_8b2aab13b3_c.jpg[/img] The last thing to do was to fix the front grill and re-mesh that to match but I ran out of time The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4FsF6tgizE&t=23s
