Hey all,

Last night I got home at about 7pm and parked my car in my carpark underground in the basement of my appartment building in southport on the Gold Coast. This morning I have gone down to get in it to take it to have my new bumper, side skirts, and rear pods fitted and noticed it was gone. took me 10 minutes to come to my sensus and admit to myself that it is actually gone.

The car is a Maroon R33 GTS model. Very distinctive skyline not like others, it has a black bonnet, black roof blending into the sides. GTR wing, LR style front bumper and a front mount intercooler on the front. The rego plates on it are QLD plates and they are "SKY008", the plates are red with silver letters/numbers and the car also has a silver square fuel sticker cover. It also has black and silver rims very distinctive. It also has a red jetpilot sticker on the rear windscreen.

I will post pictures up of what it looks like at the moment.

EVERYONE BE ON THE LOOKOUT PLEASE AS IT IS VERY DISTINCTIVE. THIeVES MAY HAVE HEADED SOUTH SO BE ON THE LOOKOUT PLEASE. THERE WILL BE A REWARD!

Please contact me on 0402859795 for info or PM me instantly please.

Thanks,

Ben H

THERE WILL BE A REWARD SO KEEP AN EYE OUT PLEASE!! $$

ill keep an eye out in the hills man and ill spread the word amongst my friends who, like me, pretty much see every modded car on the road around them. i know this question doesn't help you at all but did you have insurance....?

Man it would feel so good to catch one of these f**ckwits at work and unleashing every bit of hatred i have for car thieves on them, no doubt i will go to jail for it - i think they call it manslaughter...

hope you find her dude :)

Yeah the insurance company already asked me about alarm and immobilisar and stuff, the crazy thing is, my mates skyline key can start his mates 180, and his mates 180 can unlock the doors to his skyline... doesnt give you much security knowing that does it :S

Car was apparently spotted around brisbane yesterday arve.

That sucks.. I really hope you get it back.

It's quite distinctive which is good. Is the underground carpark secure? Maybe someone in the complex let a 'friend' know about your car?

guys, has anyone thought about raising the level at where their windows wind up? thats the #1 spot to get into a skyline besides the back small window.

what i've done is raise the level by adjusting the brackets it sits on - makes the car door close much tighter and is alot harder to wedge open. it helps me sleep a tiny bit better at night. i mean, it wont stop a thief that is determined to get your car but its just another thing you can do.

    • there are probably many ways to do it for my bosch motorsport abs we used a r33 gtst abs front knuckle and modified the rear knuckle to allow sensor to sit and read understand time, effort and $$ but reading from anywhere else  you get diff chatter etc where you lose 30% ish in signal clarity compared to the above
    • Little more work!  Did some body work on the rear wheel arches and since the paint was a cheap spray job before figured I’d do something to tide me over until I wrap the car.    Colour might not be everyone’s choice but I like it and it’s only temporary, just hate having primer from the wheel arches standing out.    Keeping an eye out for a decent set of wheels to throw on now. Wheels and tires on the car are junk
    • Its likely to be 70% road 30% track usage, track usage will increase if anything. Decided not to fit it as I cant be arsed changing the bushes on my LCAs again 🤣 I did get the below back from GKTech though so they should work together     The anti-squat kit and roll center adjusters work independently since they change the rear lower control arm's angle in different ways. The anti-squat kit adjusts the angle from front to back, which impacts anti-squat values. Roll center adjusters change the angle side to side, mainly to correct geometry on cars that are significantly lowered. They might affect each other a tiny bit, but overall, you can think of them as separate.
    • What are you doing with the car? street car or race car? People get hung up on the squat of the s/r chassis rears. There is positives to the squat if a car is setup and driven correctly for it (correct ride height, spring rate, alignment, damper valving). Generally just lengthen the rear traction arm by 5-10mm and that will help the squat and bump steer too. You are also correct with the roll centre too. This too also needs to be adjustable if you start messing with suspension geometry.   Having done quiet a bit of testing on race cars this year in regards to rear squat, I've seen some big positives from it in regards to drive off corners and traction. 
    • I find I am using the MX5 for everything except long overnight cruises with Jackie, or, if picking up the kids to go somewhere, the SS has so much more room inside, and is much more comfortable if your going to be doing Hwy driving for 6-8 hours And the MX5 isn't bad in stop go traffic for a manual transmission car, whilst the clutch kit has been upgraded from stock, it is still light, and also not having a stupidly light flywheel in it helps as well, I've spent alot of time sitting on the M5, M4 and M7 stuck in traffic when plodding around the Greater Sydney Region in it Another benefit is MX5's are not really a car that gets stolen, you can pretty much park it anywhere, and it will still be there when you return
