Hey Guys,

Like the thread says my car was stolen from Bruce CIT last wednesday. Its a very dark blue / black R31 Series 3 four door. Its registered NSW ARQ90N, its got gold 17"Drifteks, R32 front brakes and a big exhaust system. Some recent pics:

Please keep an eye out for it or any R31 parts on the cheap in the canberra area, as they will most likely part it out. My contact details are 0404303954 or 44713486.

Thanks all

Well we found the last R31 stolen, so a good chance this one will be found ( probably minus the nice looking wheels)

Seems to be alot of them being taken lately. Shame about the wheels aye? yeah the new tyres too. A Jihad on them!

that place is bollocksed for damage / stolen cars it happens non stop there, you would think that they would hire a plastic cop by now. Any ways you all know my feelings on the matter of theft of cars.... Hand chop go and work you junkie freaks then you can buy what you want instead of stealing it.

Jesus, I'm really sorry to hear that your car got stolen. I didn't post this on the threads but about 9 months ago I had some car troubles and I bought an R31 to get me around (it was a car that the R31 club would be fairly familiar with) and some lil' bastards decided that the weekend after the Queen's B'day weekend it would be a good idea to prize my boot open and fill it will fuel and fireworks... whole car... ruined.

I wish you the best of luck in recovering your baby.

man thats shit news. good luck with finding it, one of my old school friends had his r31 stolen after he put in a sound system. he found it a week later minus the stereo, cit car parks are usually a gold mind for wankers like that.

Hey guys car turned up in Hume, intact but with a blown diff. Its very dirty, but the wheels and stereo are intact and everything else seems to be there. Thanks for keeping a look out. At least they had the decency not to burn it out, which is really lucky. No skyline that i own will ever go back to that carpark, thats for sure!

BTW, shit to hear that Adrians car got wrecked, another one to add to the seemingly kilometre long list of stolen/wrecked R31s...

I was pretty annoyed when I found out what happened to mine. Luckily most of its parts are still within the club.

Glad to hear you got the car back. Its so slack when people burn cars since most of them aren't worth having insurance on so you lose a whole heap of money.

Yeah i hear ya Adrian, i had no chance of affording comprehensive insurance so i needed that car back. Lucky the junkies left the window down when they dumped it so the smell wafted out! Too bad they couldnt turn off the lights so the battery wouldnt drain...

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
