Quick update. The car was found in Avondale Heights by the police. I'm still waiting to get details from them. Apparently they arrested a drugged up female that was sitting in the car at the time and all they would tell me was that the car was "partially stripped" whatever that means.

I'll let you guys know what happens, I'm just waiting to call Shannon's to put in a claim tomorrow.

great news man.

only bad news is that the drugged f**kers will get a slap on the wrist and some sort of drug counselling and then be let out to do more f**ked up crimes.....

Doug did my alarm as well. Level 3 python alarm with immobilizer, battery backup and anti signal hack. If someone manages to steal my car i'll eat my own shit

Just an update guys. Shannon's has decided to pay me out instead of repairing the car. The interior was completely stripped (except the dash), boot was totally stripped, boot lid and rear spoiler were gone, bonnet and front bumper were gone, some of the engine bay had started to be taken apart.

In other words, the thieves didn't waste any time.

On the bright side, at least the two thieves were caught red handed and they will likely get convicted. Oh, and this might be a good excuse to get an R34 GTR sooner rather than later.

All I have to say is that Shannon's was a pleasure to deal with through the entire process. They had top customer service and I will definitely insure cars with them in the future.

How much did u hav it insured for with Shannons, did it cover your costs on the car...to replace with the 34 gtr? Well sufficient obviously 34's worth more to buy...

Unlucky on the theft mate, unfortunately for us a skyline is high theft risk though as most of us know... :rofl:

Lol the R34 is something that I'll get later. I had the car insured for $27,000 agreed value so it wont even come close to covering the cost of an R34. I'm moving to Sydney so I'll have to keep the cash on the side to buy furniture and have some reserves for a rainy day.

Sorry to hear bud. My R33 GTR and Soarer also got stolen from my house about 2-3 weeks ago. And i live in Kings park, about 2 mins from you.

:thumbsup:

Seems there must be people targeting those models. They were trying to steal some parts off it, but then cops rocked up and caught them before they could.

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
