Hi All,

Unfortunately i just had my GTR stolen.

If anyone can keep a lookout for it, and call the cops if you spot it, that will be appreciated.  Alternately give me a call or sms (04 two two 32 one 1 zero 4)

Details:

1997 R33 GTR (S3)

White

Reg: SLOAZ

Car was stolen from The Glen car park at Glen Waverley between 14:15 to 15:35.  Was parked in the in the underground car park, just off Springvale Rd (Coles car park).

Don't have much pics of the car, but below should give you a rough idea of what it looks like:

Dude, that's f**ked.  Sorry to hear it.

Hopefully it's recovered and the scum who took it die a horrible, nasty, painful death.  

I fekin' hate thieves.

This occasionally happens, like the guy who nicked my R1 and chose bitumen for his last meal.

Feel like you can't park anywhere if your car gets nicked in an hour long window. Insurance is an absolute must these days. No chances.

Thanks guys. I think what pisses me of the most is bums who have no respect for other people's property.
It's all insured and all, but as always with cars like this, it's never about money.
A few sightings came through last night saying they saw it around the Noble Park area, so I've passed that onto the cops as well.
I would think as it only runs on E85, the United stations around there will be a good lead too...that being said if you were smart, u will just fill it up via jerry cans.

Arseholes. I will keep an eye out for you as I live around noble park area. Question for you. Did the car have a quality alarm system? Just trying to work out if the guys pinching our skylines are opportunistic scumbag thieves or pro scumbag thieves. Starting to worry about my own pos gtst which I regularly park at shopping centres which I thought was a pretty safe thing to do. Obviously not.

Alarms don't do shit if the thieves have the slightest clue.  And at a guess anyone f**king off in something like a GTR know what they are doing. Insurance is the only defence.

My skyline got stolen 3 months ago with alarm and immobilizer. Doesn't make a difference.

I don't believe either of these attitudes. It will stop lots of thieves if done right. It wont stop 100% but it's better to have than not to have. 

Yeah, sadly nowadays alarm & immobilizer doesn't make much of a difference.

Been told it was spotted this afternoon as well in Mt Waverley with SA Plates.  This would kind of make sense, because someone told me, they spotted it this morning on the Eastern at 1AM with SA Plates as well (i originally dismissed that thinking it would have just been another R).

The front plates apparently are mounted on Left hand side of the bumper.

Plates might be:  463-bky

One thing the car does not show in the pics is (didn't have those stickers when i took that pic), it's got bright Red Tow stickers (TOW is in Yellow) on the front and rear bumpers on the right hand side.

If these sightings are real, then i suspect these are just joy riders...hoping a speed camera or what not gets these pricks faces.

How many post have you seen that went something like this?

"Hey guys, just to let you know some scum tried to steal my car last night, but my alarm/immobilser stopped them.  If you're in the ********** area, watch out, they are out there."

I don't ever recall seeing one.

Now, how many have you seen that goes like this:

"Hey cars, car was stolen from my driveway/local shops/street last night.  Had immobiliser and alarm but they got it anyway.  If you see it, please call the cops."

I've seen dozens of those ones.

I've had people unsuccessfully try and steal my car :P

 

I feel there's a bit of confirmation bias about this concept really. One of those "you will never know if its working" kind of things.
Sorry to hear Mr Maju :/

There's a reasonable explanation for this and it's pretty much vocal minority. Most people who post about car theft on SAU are not regular contributors and only ever come to SAU for help when their car has been stolen or to buy/sell parts. They're not going to come on here and post about an attempted theft because they don't need help with that. And no offence intended for the OP, but these people aren't the type to frequent the forums and help out other people with their stolen cars. So the stories of successful thefts will always outweigh those of unsuccessful.

Besides that, there are actually instances posted on here of unsuccessful thefts. See Kinkster's. I had people break into my Skyline at 5pm on a weeknight outside my house. My alarm went off, which it usually does for loud cars going past so I ignored it. Later in the night I walked out to car and found the door ajar and lock fked, but no attempt was made on the ignition barrell and no items were missing. I conclude my alarm scared off their brazen attempt given the time of day.

I'm the first to say "if they really want it they will get it" and "insurance is the only assurance", but not all crims are as smart or equipped with tow trucks, and ultimately you're buying yourself time by installing such security measures. I know which car I'd rather target.

Sucks and is a sickening feeling.............

All we can do is make it as hard as we can for them - there is always a remote chance that they will think 'to hard' and walk away.

But if they really want it then they will get it.

Do we know how they're overriding alarms?  I spoke to our local alarm guy today about getting an alarm for mine and he was telling me about alarms now being "black wire" alarms where every wire in the wiring loom is black in colour so makes it next to impossible to know which is the correct wire to cut.

I know steering clubs are gay as unicorn poo but if that's the only resort to keeping the pricks away then I'd be doing it.

Otherwise GPS tracking units are getting cheaper and cheaper or just cable tie an old Iphone under the seat that is wired to constant 12v and keep it tracked via "Find My Iphone".  Either rock up where it is with baseball bats or call the cops.  

Let's work a bit harder and smarter to keep these pricks from stealing our pride and joy.

I'm not saying don't bother with alarms and immobilisers, what I'm saying is in the grand scheme of things they do f**k all.  But you never know, you might get lucky.

Not to discourage anyone from adopting these security measures, but there is a way around each and every one of them. I have portable hardware that can disable GPS - cost me $5 from eBay and it works well enough that people won't get within 200 metres of you.

Deterrants and obstacles are all they are. And with apex cocks getting around, being inside your car is also no longer a safe bet.

    • 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?
