Dogs seem to be a good theft deterrent if they are good at telling when someone is near the house too. Our dog goes nuts whenever someone comes in the driveway or whenever theres someone unknown to him around.

I'm sad to say it but police don't seem to care these days much unless its going to get them money. We have had several times at work when the cops just don't turn up for 4 hours plus.

That said i hope you get your car back or insurance payout, or atleast get justice for this and the f*%^ers that did this get put in jail and raped by their cell mate

man, that is terrible. I really to feel for you. but seriously you parked a GTR on the street without any form of security. I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I'm sure you had planned to put in an alarm/immobiliser but that should be the first thing you do, and if you can't get it straight away park it in a garage, take out the battery, take out the fuses and sleep with one eye open. I know I would.

Mate, I honestly hope you get it back.

haha even with alarm etc on my car i still cant sleep at night.. tiz not good!

but on the note of this stolen car./ it seems to happen alot around inner city!! very sad indeed!

keep your eyes open on ebay, etc for parts wheels etc going off your car.

good luck and i hope it turns up!!

two things will help you sleep soundly.

1. A lock up garage

2. full comprehensive insurance.

if you don't have both of those I can understand why the restless nights.

this thread just gave me the same sick in the stomach feeling when I saw my empty parking spot a month or so back.

I don't know about you guys but I am certain these are no random thefts.

I am extremely close to getting a printout of all the recent car thefts... which have all been sydney by the way, and try to speak to a detective at a cop shop.

As if this isn't just like it was a few years back now when they went and did raids and found shit loads of stolen cars and parts...

I've had enough...

I'm gonna ***ing do it.

I'm gonna try to get someone to take a serious look into all this instead of giving me the "don't expect to get it back in one piece" bullshit I was told when they came to see me 4 hours after I reported my loss.

Whoever stole it is very likely to ditch the rego plates.

How about posting the VIN number or any other relevant numbers? If people are offered an engine (or your car) for sale, they might search the net, or even this site, and match the numbers.

I know how I'd feel in your situation.

I agree - dogs are an awesome deterent. I dont live in a capital city though - when the locals try and steal a car around here that doesn't have the keys in the ignition it is to hard for them, so they just vandilise insted.

Another bonus of living out here "in the sticks", an r33 doesn't mean much to the average joe blow, they would perfer a HSV.

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
