sorry to hear dude, your situtation sucks balls.

i would definately see if the workshop you did the work at had anything to do with it. they werent gona steal it unless they knew what it had done to it.

my 1.888cents, goodluck finding it mate, i hope you get it in one piece.

cheers, issa.

thanks to all concerned! car hasnt been found cops seem to think its a spare parts place here in sydney that stole it and moved it on interstate or re-berthed it! cannot prove they stole it, though the told me that they think these blokes are responsible for most skylines being stolen for parts! unfortunately, nothing they can do about it...

anyways!!! Thanks to everyone concerned!

No word on the car still...

Yeah, watch out for any dodgey mechanics.

Ex bf's van was broken into, expensive shit was stolen. He knows a guy (mechanic) involved in this shameful business of rebirthing and stealing parts. I think he's from Campsie area. Name is Asif or Aziz. Watch out, he's dodgey as they come. I think he's the one that broke into ex's van.

Ex was naiive dumb ass. Maybe you should look at anyone trying to sell RB26dett engines.. probably long gone now.

But goodluck anyways.

cheers all...

well the spare parts place that they believe were involved is located in punchbowl...

they have been stealing a number of jap imports and selling parts or rebirthing and moving the cars on into another state!

so all be careful... think my car is long gone now!!! and if so, im done with skylines!!

time to move on, cut my losses!!

thanks to all concerned... ive sort of given up hope now! but if anything does come through, more than willing to search!

happy easter to all..

take Care - Garth

    • All of those are near new/brand new/done under 10,000km! This means something! It also doesn't necessarily mean anything.... The idea is of course to fit wider tyres and rims, and to go with engine head updates, I'm sure it will be faster the subsequent time out. But TBH the difference will largely be in driver mod between one day and the next I'm sure. To say I am unseasoned after many years away from even driving remotely fast is an understatement. Giving it half throttle and "Whoa, that's a bit excessive.." and realizing I'm doing 80kmh in a 100 zone is evidence enough lol. I have noticed that there is heat haze/steam/air/something absolutely steaming out of the car after parking it. I didn't drive it in the 40C day for testing yesterday, but on Christmas day it was ~32 and you could literally see the air coming out from the bay after parking the car. Whether that's enough though..   
    • I'll take clutch for 50 Eddie.
    • Standard GTRs are boring and there plenty of them, do what ever you want to it and just remember nothing about them is cheap anymore and if you’re picky about how you want things done it gets even worse.    if it’s an n1 or something very limited then maybe care more about it’s heritage 
    • Alright guys, I've got good odds the motor survives due to a majority of spare parts. Who's taking bets on clutch, who's on transmission, and who's go diff? Happy to also take bets on if it still overheats in traffic or not 😛     Car looks amazing by the way. I've never been a fan of R34 rears, so really, I don't think any body kit etc solves that for myself, but the front end looks amazing!
    • As an ex-skyline owner Going off how these things are now "modern classics", I would keep the twins and just "refresh" bits that are required for reliable power and have a car you can take out for a cruise whenever you get the itch As a idiot who cannot leave things alone Going deep into the "rabbit hole" is a easy thing to do, as previously mentioned, once you start it becomes a slippery slope, wirh lots of supporting mods, and possibly rebuilds, and unless you have a bottomless pit of funds, the car can spend most of its life sitting in the garage,  broken, waiting for parts, or building more funds For a classic like a R32 GTR Basically, a reliable OEM+ refresh, that isn't a broken garage queen, is alot better than a car that you build, then break, then fix, then break again And it isn't just the engine you need to worry about, these beasties are getting on in age, and all parts are getting, and have got, expensive, the days of picking up cheap replacement engines and other driveline parts are well and truly over The funds not spent on going a single with quality parts, and with all the other other bits required to make it happen, could be spent on refreshing alot of other parts A wise man once said "If you cannot afford 2 GTR's, you cannot afford 1", I also believe he said this about 20 years ago when you could pick up a clean R32 GTR up for around $20k My advice for a R32 GTR (the one and only true Godzilla in my mind) is to think holistically about the whole car, the body, the power train, the suspension, the brakes, and the driveline SAU is a wealth of knowledge with decades of Skyline experience,  from stock, to OEM+, to modified to varying degrees, to full on or weekend or dedicated racecars, as well as full on money pits that rarely leave their garage Treat the old girl nice and give her what she deserves, you are a lucky man to own such a classic car
