Hi,

I live in Melbourne and on Saturday 2nd September, my car was stolen at approximately between 10pm-midnite near the corner of Lygon and Brunswick street in Brunswick.

It is a R32 1989 GTR. It has black enkei 6 spoke wheels, and standard GTR bodykit. I have notified police, but if anyone sees or hears about this vehicle, pls contact me.

Its engine is fairly modified, so if anyone sees these parts being offered, pls let me know as well.

It has a rebuilt engine that has been blueprinted and balanced with forged arias pistons and nismo bearings, Nismo engine mounts, runs HKS GT-SS twin turbos, Sard injectors, Nismo fuel pump, N1 water and oil pumps, APEXi power FC, HKS stainless steel dump pipes, Fujitsubo Cat back exhaust and brandless mandrell bent 3" outlet front pipe.

It has the standard bodykit but is missing its front lip. It also has alot of sooty debris on the left side from the exhaust fouling the rear. The interior is near stock, no radio and neat. Seats have no tears or stains. Has a nismo gearknob, and momo stearing wheel.

The number plate is TEE-958

Thank you for your time in reading this,

Emmanuel

i cant imagine how u can steal a car dat is properly armed

flatbed.

how many people would stop someone who looks like they know what they're doing?

my old BMW was towed from the city - alarm went off for 3 hours all the way from the tow point to the impound lot.

no one cared.

Unfortunately, i had no alarm or insurance, which was very stupid looking back on it.

I had spent $25000 modifying and rebuilding the engine after the original turbos compressor wheels got sucked into the engine. During the rebuild, i lost my licence for a year.

I only had my licence back for 3 weeks, and right now im really struggling financially for the past year due to illness limiting how much i could work earlier in the year, so couldnt afford the $3500 for comprehensive insurance. 3rd party would have been useless in this case anyways. Id only just started to get back on track by making some good inroads on some significant debts and getting back to health and working hard for the last 4 months.

I had been really careful where i parked it and drove it as little as possible until i could afford insurance or an alarm. I was at a cafe and parked it on a main road right off lygon. Im pretty sure it got stolen within 30 minutes of me parking the car.

Im just heart broken cos the R32 GTR was my dream car. I guess its my fault in the end for having no security. This would have to be the worst time for this to happen due to my current financial situation.

Im just sick of these lowlifes that steal cars, strip them and make a profit, all the while getting their centrelink payout and not paying a cent in tax. They are parasites of the community. I would just love for them to get what they deserve and see what it feels like to lose something valuable to them.

I dont have pics. It looks like a stock white GTR, no front lower lip and black 6 thin-spoke enkei's with a blue thick pinstripe on perimetre.

Good luck mate. My GTR got stolen six months ago and I thought I'd never see it again but they found it last month. The VIN plate is missing and they took the gearbox and other bits and pieces so I know what u r going through. Hope u get it back.

Pritty Simple, They Ask to much to insure our cars. Plus they are allways getting stolen, so why would the insurance be cheap.

Im 18 and Just car Wanted $3000 to insure my R33 GTS, Farkin bullshit i say

That sucks mate, really hope it is found soon.

Third party fire and theft is the way to go, costs me 500 a year and I can claim 7000 if the car is stolen considering I paid 11000 for the car thats pretty good.

Just Cars only pay out 5 grand.... but take into consideration ur $500 u pay for 3rd party and the excess u have to pay is $1400... u only get basically 3grand back.

Must be a lucky one over here, pay $1300.00 full Comp and the R32 GTS-t is written down $15,100 by them. So no complaints here. The Excess is less than $1000.00 and all the mods are listed.

Im guessing the age is the only thing I see there being an issue.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
