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 :)

    • 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?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
