history:

back in 2003 it was stolen out of my drive way, (uninsured!!) for a week me and my old man plus a few mates searched the local area at night (any one know davoren park??????) we could hear it but couldnt see it. 5 days after it got stolen, me and my old man were driving to BP elizabeth to buy a trading post so i could get a run about for work, sitting at the traffic lights near fremont park i hear a loud exhasut coming behind us, i couldnt believe it when i saw MY car sitting next to me at the traffic lights in the turning lane.

we followed it to a house IN davoren park (no surprise) on the way i rang the elizabeth police, where i got a pretty angry and unhelpful police officer.. asking me "are you sure its your car"?

as it got to the house, it sped of down the street and subsequently lost it.

sitting out the front of smithfield high school, on the phone to one of my mates i heard sirens coming and a loud car, MY car was being chased by cops.. 3 times they called the search off because it was reaching dangerous speeds..

about 2 hours later, i get a phone call from the elizabeth police saying that they recovered my car, outside the gawler glider club.

we went to where it was, i got hassled by another cop thinking i stole it, who was there. i opened the door, door locks and steering column in tact, inside they torched with petrol. but it just so happens that the dalkeith CFS were on the same road a bit further down testing their equiptment!! they blew my engine, and stole anything that WAS bolted down.. but left the rims..

i didnt notice at the time but they also stole my compliace plate.

since then i've replaced the engine(ichiban! great!!), resprayed the engine bay(caruso crash), bought a whole new interior(the ol' four brother imports.. and JIS)

i still have to take it to regency to get an exemption for compliance plate, so for that ive had to return it to pretty much stock, which is costing more than modifying it...!!

cheers for reading, i drive it everyday, if you see me dont be shy and say hi :)

    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
