sorry to hear dude,

That happened to my bro with his first skyline, had no alarm, imob., kill switch etc. He parked it at strathfield while out with the mates, the car was stolen when he arrived back. He called me straight away and we went hunting for it.

For some reason he had a gut feeling that it would be around bankstown area cause it is quite near by. Suprisingly we found the car being thrashed down st hilliers/rookwood rd.

We called the police for assistance, they told us not to follow the car. I was like get fkd, the car isn't insured and thats basically giving it away.

The guys pulled over at a convenice store to buy smokes so we confronted them and it got quite physical. We didn't realise that there was still someone in the passanger. The guys took off and dumped the car, i think they thought it was quick tracked or something.

thought i'd give you abit of an insight to a bad situation which turned brighter.

But i'll keep an eye out for the car mate!!!

Good Luck with the hunt!!

The westfields carpark there is notorious for car theives. I had my old lancer broken into one night up there, called the cops they said usually around 10 cars get broken into each night.

I guess the lesson for everyone is that your first mod should be an alarm/immobiliser. You need an immobilser to get insurance, and if you don't have insurance you need one twice as much!

I hope you get your car back mate.

no news from police yet, no clues either... i really hope it was a bunch of joy riders.. its been 4 days now and i still wonder if my car is in one piece... i loved that car and i see so many other skylines around, it just rubs it in.

thanks for keeping an eye out guys and if anyone has some useful info please pm me.

my dad worked in special ops for Westfield and implemented the system where cameras are trained on peoples faces as they leave the carpark - at Parramatta Westfield.. I am not sure if they did this at Miranda

what the theives used to do is drag a trolley over the sensor and get a ticket out (as if they were a car entering the carpark), then steal a car, and use the ticket to get out of the carpark. They installed cameras that take the rego, and also a camera down low to take the persons face as they lean out to put the ticket in the machine!

Often the cops know the persons face if they are a local dropkick, so they just rock down to the dudes house and it's game over for them!

i suggest you talk to Westfield centre management ASAP about getting the camera footage to the cops...

have you tried this yet?

it's unbelievable the number of skylines stolen in Sydney... i still cant get past the fact my car could be torn apart or dumped... i wish i new... most people seem to recover them in a few weeks.. has anyone had theirs stolen and recovered it in Sydney?

honestly never leave you car in a car park. there are a few stories that the acually security guards call their mates to tell them a particular car has been parked and to try to get them to break in and steal it

also if you look on your insurance papers you will see that a lot of them state that if parked in a car park then the contract is void

Dam thats close to home! I always park my car in Security at westfield miranda, if thats not an option then i park it at KFC which is very open and i would consider very difficult to steal a car from as its on the main road and stuff. ill keep a look out for ya dude!

Best of luck

    • Welcome!  We're not all grumpy.    
    • Welcome. We're all grumpy old men (and a few grumpy old women) who are slowly coming to hate these cars. Any of the newer owners who have joined in the last few years are rapidly catching up with us as they realise they have bought a basket case and that parts are getting difficult to find. Just be realistic about your goals. You'll need a fat stack of cash to buy an R34 GTR, and you'd be far better off using that to buy absolutely anything else (ie, shares, a house, scratchy tickets) unless that fat stack of cash is only ~10% of the actual fat stack of cash that you have. You'll never want to drive an R34 GTR on the street if you have fear of it getting destroyed. That's more or less true of the 33s and 32s also. Most of the RWD cars have been drifted backwards into power poles. No-one knows what they are worth these days because they are not changing hands. My car has notionally been down to <$10k value at some point and was probably sellable for $40-$50k in the height of COVID stupidity, but I have no idea what it's really worth now. It's irreplaceable anyway, because... where would I find one to replace it? Being realistic means either paying a lot of cash for a really really clean example that you will only drive on sunny Sundays, or buying one to daily that you will not want to be really really clean, for the same fears of destruction that applies to the GTR. I daily mine and some people think I'm crazy. But....to me it's just a car that I bought last century with the express purpose of driving it as my daily. The silliness that has happened since doesn't affect my original purpose. I have well and truly amortised the initial purchase cost and most (probably all) of the subsequent modification costs. But I don't think I could go out and buy one now to daily.

    • Hey everyone! I'm quite young and I don't have enough to get a car right now but I love Nissan Skylines (Specifically the r34 GT-R. I'm so original I know.) and I would love to buy one in the future. I have no background knowledge, only an interest in cars, but I'd love to learn how they work so I can mod in the future. I've done some basic research on what model of Skyline I would start with and what mods to get started with are but nothing else. I'm here to learn! Hope you all have a great day
