So i came home after 3 days and my cars gone.

Parked on Ivenhoe Street in Glen Waverley.

It was a 93 Red R33 GTS-T, with a series 2 spoiler.

had an after market exhaust

lots of scratches on the front bumper

no badges or anything.

It was locked with a alarm/immobaliser, and was parked right infront of my house.

I honestly have no idea how they took it with out waking up the neighbors. The car it self is loud and the alarm ontop of that.

Reported to the Glenny police, hopefully I'll find it soom.

If you guys hear/see anything thats helpful please email me or call 9566 1555 (glen waverley police)

I'm thinking could it might just be some undercover going around taking skylines away because they sort of "thought" that placing booze buses around ain't taking these "dangerous" cars off the streets to make the streets "safer", therefore taking them away and then pushing the blame onto low life dickies. But this is just a wild thought, maybe too much tv for me.

someone got his car towed from some carpark, in broad daylight.

I wont be surprised if they used a towtruck for yours/mine, but really, why target old cars like outs?

Thats what im thinking, All that effort for car thats few grand...

Interestingly enough talking to my house mate a week ago, he told me another car got stolen right out of the driveway on our street. and first thing i did was upgrade my insurance cover, plus i was leaving the car there for few days. but it was RIGHT in front of my house. i mean 5m in front of my drive way. under a street light. it just freaking pisses me off

Sorry to hear Hesh. Do you have any pics of the car you can post? Were there any unusual mods or anything like that?

Only thing thats noticeable are the scratches to the front bumper. the left side of the bumer was almost white from dmg. it had stock wheels but not the small cap that covers the bolts on the wheel.

Roof was a lil rusted on the left side, it wasnt peeling or anything.

the care it self was pretty dirty. haven't washed for a while.

After market exhaust (but almost all skylines have that)

on the drivers side, that small plastic cover that goes along the top of the door to keep water splashing in was missing.

on the front bumper both grills were missing. so theres are 2 small opening under the indicators on the front bumper.

Well.

Its not that you've done anything illegal or anything. But, it is a massive pain. more than the 14 days initially promised i can guarantee you.

Oh really?? The GTR?

Is it recovered?

Not recovered. Yup, the 32R.

If they check you out it's coz you've upgraded your cover (to full comp I'm guessing) and not long after your car is stolen and ur making a claim.

If you haven't done anything wrong, just make sure you've got a good explanation as to why you upgraded your cover

I'd say another car being stolen in your street, and the fact you were going away would be a decent reason to upgrade

Thats exactly what i was going to say. It was mainly wasnt for theft but mostly if someone hit my car and drove off. seeing as i wasnt going to be home for the next three days.

Im waiting on the police to get back to me over the next few days if the cars not damaged and only need a good clean up im not going to make a claim. the excess is probably more than what it'll take me to patch up the car.

      Update time!  The JZX110 had some maintenance needing to be done, so a lot of the seals with replaced to fix some oil leaks. Also used this opportunity to whack on a front mount that I'd bought some time ago.  I also finally got the rear lip painted and fitted.  I then got the exhaust done. It's just a catback for now. Custom made 3" stainless with a turn down. I could have a tip coming out, but it will require cutting the rear lip and possibly the bumper itself. So far I do like and it's made the car a little more zippy.  Close out with some nice pictures of the cars and a sneak peek of what's next.

      This lady loved her FD for 25 years!  https://www.topspeed.com/80-year-old-woman-donates-fd-rx-7-mazda/ My brother in law. He's nice enough to let me drive it whenever. He'll likely not see this, but I'll try: @r-is-for-fun got any pics?

      Just something I found searching for more info on Emotion R, apparently the ECR33 Skyline GTS25t was either originally black, or there were two of them, the black one being the original demo car, then building a white one which was part of the 1997-onwards (to at least 2008!) Cockpit Tatebayashi Tokyo Auto Salon booth demo cars. It appears that Emotion R closed down in 2008 and was declared bankrupt in 2010: http://bank-db.com/hasan/208365. Scan of a magazine with the black R33 from 1996: Wayback machine archived page from May, 2000: https://web.archive.org/web/20000529061027/http://www.emotion-r.co.jp/skyline.html Option magazine with a few photos from the Cockpit Tatebayashi booth at the Auto Salon from various years: 2002: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=154&image_id=3507 2003: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=137&image_id=3033 2005: http://www.jdm-option.com/photo/index.php?action=item&category_id=116&image_id=1831 In 2008 Cusco website mentions that the Cockpit Tatebayashi ECR33 was displayed at that year's Tokyo Auto Salon: https://www.cusco.co.jp/event/2008/12/post_735.html As of 2021 it appears that the ECR33 demo car ended up being exported to Florida, USA: https://rmcmiami.com/inventory/1996-nissan-skyline-r33-cockpit-tatebayashi-demo-car-big-te06-turbo-endless-brakes-lsd-450hp/ And finally here's Google streetview of the Emorion R garage in 2023 which is amazingly not only still there, but the showroom is still full of various parts in stock and funishings, etc.: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ttyEAZdZLyzermyT9 Apologies for nerding out a bit. I used to love doing this 20 years ago on SAU and got a bit nostalgic for a moment... 😅
