Hi guys

My R32 GTR was stolen from my folks place in Viewbank early this morning. If anyone has any information or has seen anything, please let me know or contact the Greensborough Police Station - 8432 0200

Was last heard at around 4AM on Lower Plenty Road.

Gunmetal grey, R33 GTR wheels, looks clean and standard but is heavily modified with a single T78 turbo, NUR block, Apexi brakes, HKS suspension.

Rego - TPI 554

***UPDATE***

Car was found in Epping, and was called in to Epping Police Monday morning. The police didn't call me, and didn't bother to go out to the car until Tuesday morning. By that time, it was gone :( So angry.

Pics were taken of the car on Lyndarum Drive, Epping. I don't have much faith that it will be found now..

Car had a tow rope attached.

Mate the cops are f**king useless / do not care. They wouldn't even look at the security footage at the carpark my girlfriend's car got stolen from.

Do 5km/h over the limit and they'll happily spend 15 minutes with you on the roadside. Disgraceful state the force is in.

thats bullshit.

im guessing car wasnt driveable? you couldnt go grab it back?

I had no idea it had been reported to the police until the next day..

I would've happily gone out there had the police notified me that it had been found.

Those pics were taken by the person who found it, but they didn't know who the car belonged to.

That's f**ked up man! Not fair at all... They put millions into all these stupid inspection stations on Saturday nights and pay penalty rates... Couldn't they pay some dickhead penalty rates to get your stolen car! If there is no income to be made, most police are the most useless people in the world!

Holy shit man, I literally drove past what I think was your skyline the other day in the same spot as this photo. I even stopped for a minute to have a look because it looked beautiful... So sorry to hear man, I've had the same thing happen to me recently as well. I live near this place, I'll keep an eye out and keep a note of your number plates... Hopefully you find it soon!

  • 2 weeks later...

*** UPDATE ***

One of the plates - TPI 554 - was spotted in Fitzroy on a Toyota Chaser, and the other plate was recently found at a house in Lalor. The police said the people at the house didn't know anything about a stolen car (no surprises there).

I've tried to keep an eye out as that's literally around the corner from me, a lot of skylines in the area...there's a burnt out supra in one of the paddocks that hasn't been built on yet as well...

Wonder which house in Lalor...ill see if any parts start to pop up

Sorry for the delay guys..

The cops haven't told me exactly where in Lalor the plates were found. It's apparently still part of the investigation.

*** Recent spotting of the plates this morning (well 1 plate, on the rear) - TPI 554 - on a silver 3 series BMW in Preston (Chifley Drive, heading towards Northland Shopping Centre). Cops are currently out there looking.

ok maybe I'm a bit stupid...

but why would you drive around with a stolen cars plates on your car.

Shit if you were going to steal fuel or do a drive by, pull up around the corner and grab non stolen plates off a random in a street.

these dicks just seem to have some kangaroos loose in the top paddock

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
