Hi ppl,

Heres a run down of what happened, yesterday morning house cleaners came over my place, for some cleaning, i opened the garage door n let them in. As i had to go to work they told me they would close it. As my housemate was there i didnt bother that much my rims were in the garage. During lunch time my housemate went to pick up his gf n had lunch took 3 hrs. When he came back the house cleaners were gone, the afternoon appoinment for CARPET cleaning was finished, my garage door was closed n rims were GONE!

I called both the carpet n house cleaners n both denied taking them. What should i do? Maybe some one came by saw the garage door opened n took them? VERY-VERY pissed, they were 6 months old.

There are 18" Lenso Muse Rims (silver chrome) with falken tyres. I need a favour from u guys, if u hear anyone selling this rims please let me know. I am reporting this to the police tomorrow.

that's shocking man!

for someone to walk past, see the garage door open and pinch the wheels is a hefty job. They would've heard people inside and probalby wouldn't have had the guts to do it, i know i wouldn't... but i aint a thief, so i don't know how they think.

Was there anybody else who knew that nobody was going to be home? It just seems too far fetched that someone walked past and saw them and nabbed em! I'd be looking at the cleaners personally... but that's what i think. Best of luck man!

thanks guys,

i already called the people of both the house cleaners and carpet cleaners, both denied on taking them. I know that my rims are pretty common, and chances of getting them back r zip! But its farked tho, broad daylight, 4 rims n no one saw! Guess we have to be careful of everything nowadays.

yes trust no one indeed, thats what u get for being an honest tax paying bloke, get farked over! dang... still pissed, no the house was rented SirSkyline. They were my bling rims actually, i already have a set of 17" on for drag n track days.

But do you have contents insurance on the rented house ???

If the house cleaners were gone first,did u ask if the carpet cleaners saw the rims?If not then most likely it could of been them. But then again there's no proof.

I doubt that somebody would happen to stroll along and with a blink of eye see a set of rims and tax em,whilst u have a bunch of people working at your house.

Anyway man i'll keep an eye out for yah!

thanks a lot ppl... n SirSkyline, no i dont have contents insurance on the house. Bad luck... just happened again... read the next thread.

Mate get some contents insurance it will only cost you 20 bucks a month and then if it happens again your covered

    • 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.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
    • Shock tower brace is in +5Kw....LOL
