As you most of you know, my GTR was broken into and 'stripped' just on 2 months ago. It was obvious the car had been followed and targeted. The windows were smashed - and the alarm didn't go off. I live in South Yarra.

One of the many items stolen were my old number plates - GTR-88.

Well...

I was sent a PM from a guy on the MCCR forum asking me if I had my car back, and was it white - as he saw a white Skyline with GTR-88 plates on Dandenong Rd, near Chapel!

It gets better...

It just so happened that his car was broken into the other night. In South Yarra. Same deal - window broken, alarm not set off - they took his Apexi gear... but he saw them doing it and chased. He got a partial description on the car and plate:

White import hatch (GTi-R, Charade, Starlet, WRX etc) with loud exhaust and plate something like 'TURBRO'.

I noticed in a thread here that Chop saw this same car near Chaddy!

I'm not sure if these are connected... but I rang Prahran police anyway. If you see either car - GTR-88 or TURBRO - call the cops.

Pretty stupid to be driving around with stolen plates..

Good work P.D. James :D you are well on the case!

Lets hope this scum gets caught, and the cops can actually do something to help out in this situation. Amazing, real crime to be policed.

Ah - it all makes sense now :D

Must have been the smell of pancakes impairing my judgement.

Do we have a confirm on the car - GTi-R?

See it has a titanium Nismo shifter. Grrrr.

Gordo - Haha. Just call me Jessica Fletcher.

yeh it mite of been white gti-r or starlet

it was dumped low on its ass

big 3.5" stainless steel muffler on the rightside making very loud sound

multispoke rims 17" or 18"

black personalised plates with "TURBRO"

pretty sure there was bonnet vents

driver was some tall skinny white guy, window half down, wearing a dark coloured cap.

hope that helps

would this be a joint mccr and sau club bashing? cos me and boys in the sig want in!

I remember seeing those plates around the S.E. suburbs myself... don't remember anymore details on the car though. Will keep an eye out.

I'll put my name down for the lynching mob too! People stress when they see a 6'4" guy step out of his Skyline...

carry a crowbar, and if an officer asks what its for, say its ur lover...or something

anyway yes i will keep eye out also but im in northern suburbs but do a lot of deliveries everywhere in the work truck, which means i can run them off the road or throw glass peices like shurikans at their necks

i rule

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
