Thankyou so much Mark for posting this up. I guess I should be grateful my car was found but I never expected it would be in this condition. I've attached a couple of pics of what she looks like now. Its f***ing disgusting. The thugs have been charged but they have been doing this for a while and they won't be stopped. I am now plotting my revenge.

Like Mark said, the engine and wheels are missing along with the exhaust. It looks as though they took all the panels off the car, stole my stereo, ipod, cd's etc and then kicked the absolute crap out of the car and attacked it with an axe. They spared my front bar (i'd say they were going to sell it). Every other panel has damage (athough possibly repairable) and yeah Just Cars have classed it as a write-off. They left my gearbox behind so I have sold that. I bought the car back from insurance for $1000 and am trying to sell what parts I can. I've still got the coilovers, brakes, panels (doors are still good), the drivers seat and part of the back seat.

I am now on the hunt for another R33 as nice as mine was but it's a bit depressing trying to deal with at the moment. And yeah, my car had an alarm and immoboliser which was still hooked up when i got the car back so I am at a loss for words as to how they stole it.

If anyone is after parts just give me a call on 0418630495. And cheers again everyone for your kind words.

Belinda.

Sorry I can't PM you...my post count isn't high enough. Ring or text me on 0418 630 495. I am home all day and will be home tonight. You are more than welcome to come see what parts you want. Give me a call and I'll give you the address.

Mate I know exactly how u feel! I had my car stolen and written off a few months back and I still feel sick in the stomach thinking about it. I ended up doing the same thing as you and buying my car back from the insurance company for $300 as I knew the value of the parts that were still intact. I'm amazed that they broke into your car and didn't set off any alarms! Quite scary actually considering that almost nothing can stop thieves these days. Was your car garaged or parked on the driveway? My car is now garaged every night, with a steering wheel lock, wheel clamp, alarm and immobiliser protecting it. Sorry again to hear about your loss and let us know how the hunting goes for a new skyline :)

The legal system wont do much to pursue justice. I know a guy that knows a guy, feel like buying a shotty? :)

I dont know how you could even look at it. Ive personally seen some dirty shit in my day, but this made me cringe.

All the best with selling off parts, did just car give you a fair price for it?

Yeah the whole thing is pretty scary. The skyline was parked in my driveway beside my Clubby (hubby was taking up the double bay shed with his car cause he was doing a motor swap). I have no idea how they broke into it without anyone hearing an alarm. It truly was the worst day of my life. And yeah it's so hard looking at that crumpled mess everyday but in a way its nice having her home. That might sound ridiculous but i reckon its better back home with me than in the hands of those thugs.

I love the shotgun idea. I did ask if I could buy a shotty but my husband said NO. Lol.

I did put a deposit on another R33 Series 2 tonight. I can't believe how hard it is buying another car. I want MY car back. I keep making comparisons between my Skyline and this one I'm buying but it's a very tidy car and well looked after. I wanna make some small changes on it first off...like changing the exhaust and fitting an intercooler. I am pretty new to the import world so I might be bugging you guys a fair bit with questions.

And thanks again for the comments guys. Its nice knowing people are so passionate about their cars.

Cheers, Belinda.

its hard to find something and nothing will really ever compare.

when you buy your next car, get a doberman or rotty. :D

hubby cant say no to an upset wife who just bought a puppy to cheer her up can he? >_<

all the best with the search though :banana:

when you do find something you should head up to the baskins meet ;):banana:

Haha I've actually got 2 dogs that are excellent guard dogs and very protective. But me, being the lovely person I am, let the dogs sleep inside that week the Skyline was stolen because it was cold. That will teach me won't it.

Picked up my new Skyline last night. It has some very big shoes to fill but I love it already and am very happy. If this one gets stolen, I will be out for blood!!

holy shite!

Sorry to see your car end up like that....

I never leave my car any where i own a dirty 1980 mod patrol just to go shopping lol.

My car is locked in the shed they would have to smash my house to get it.

Plus i have a killer black cat that lives inside!!

  • 2 weeks later...

While I did predict it, I'm sorry to hear it mate, as I said before it was a pretty sweet lookin' ride

    • I replaced the whole clutch line with the chase bays braided hose, I think it removes that loop, is it the short hose that comes immediately off the slave or is there a drawing in the manual to find what you’re referring to? It was just re-bled when I upgraded to the nismo slave, old slave worked fine but I thought that might help, didn’t change a thing. It’s like the first half of the pedal is pushing air and then when it finally actuates the master the friction zone is tiny. Makes it practically impossible to launch the car
    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
