I consider mysely very lucky, at 6pm on sunday the police came round and gave me the good news!

my car was recovered.

Minus

Intercooler, BOV, boost guage, boost controller, Infact about 15 items missing all adding up to roughly $3000

Plus there is some minor damage.

but its all repairable.

Nedless to say the car is getting fitted with sattalite tracking, the worlds biggest alarm system and there is now a security camera in my carport. and i am taking the ECU out of the car every single time i am not in it.

they didnt catch the little theives who stole it but they were seen dumping the car and they were about 14-15 years old.

Nic lives in the ghetto that's why.

Also before you run out and grab a quik trac or whatever talk to me also :)

Good to hear it's back tho. May as well strip the engine and go the rb30 eh ? :)

Where was it found? Great to hear you got it back

it was found less than 1 km from where it was stolen, but they put 100 ks on it.

yeah they stole my kik ass stereo but get this

the little fu#kers stole the head unit but not the loom and destroyed the dash in the process. so now the stereo is worthless to them and they ruined the dash.

They also took my GRID electronic boost controller that was worth $800+ but they didnt take the solonoid that controlls boost!

they got in by bending out the rear door frame rendering the door fuc#ed.

the engine is fine did a leakdown test and a compression test and its ok. the clutch is ruined. but everything else mechanical is fine.

i will get it back on the road and it will be just like it was. but its going to take time and money.

From now on it has hidden security cameras on it, 120DB alarm, AND NO ECU!

Good to hear you have it back mate!!!

I have put a decend alarm in mine and two nice little screamers, 1 under the dash, 1 in the boot 140db rated I think so the little F***ers will get a nose bleed before they get anything out of my car

again nice to see you got it back

some fusion job, around 500 bucks installed. black loom 4pt imobiliser, shokc sensors. extra 2 screamers in the cabin hidden under the dash, got an extra pin switch too for the bonnet (bonnet pins so no latch). i used to install car audio and if they can take the pain inside the car while they **** around then then they semi deserve it, at least i know it will cause some pain ahhah

insurance are giving me money back too, not sure how much though yet

another idea i played with in my last car that works good that i might do to the ceffy is hide a heap of cheap ass jaycar strobe lights through it, worked for my last car.

      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.
