Hi All,

It comes with great sadness that this morning I had a phone call from the new owner that my previous Skyline (which i sold around 2 months ago) has been stolen at 5:15AM this morning in the suburb of Darch. I loved that car to bits and many of you have seen it on cruises and have known how clean that skyline was. The reason why I am posting this even though its not my car anymore, is that these thief's need to be caught and brought to justice.

It seems like they knew were it was, came and just drove it off. Keys were NOT stolen and it had a laserline alarm/immobilisers installed as well as a autowatch pin keypad. There was no glass at the scene, so it leaves me wondering if they pryed open the window and press the button to open the passenger door. Even if this occured the alarm would of went off either by the motion sensors or the door sensor when it was opened, this seemed to not deter them.

Its a distinct car, (anyone who has seen it before would recongnise it) with white P1 buddy club rims on it, lowered, Front mount with the mpsec front bar that has the middle bit cut out and slotted rotors all round. Number plate is 1DPB 625. It also has a Japanese sticker, with three Japanese characters on the top middle of the rear window., it also has a very slight cracked driver side indicator and small scratch on the passenger side door.

I will post photos tonight when I get home to help identify the car, I don't have any photos with me at the moment.

I have a feeling these guys are somewhat professional to get the car going with ease despite system in place to help stop them.

I have included its mod list below, incase you see things pop up in the for sale thread/quokka

I am devasted even though its not my car, alot of blood, sweat and tears went into this car, and the thought of it being thrashed, smashed and maybe even chopped up is bringing me close to tears.

If you have any info on it, please give me a call on 0434 513 444 or pm me on here.

Cheers guys!

Sorry to hear about this mate. Always sad when a Skyline is stolen, or any other car for that matter.

You said the alarm system is overkill right? I.e. you spent a lot on it? I'm not being rude or anything, but maybe this was an inside job in the sense that the new owner organised for it to be stolen so he could claim on insurance? I mean, i doubt this is the case; just a suggestion.

Regardless, I hope the car is found :)

That could be be the case, but unfortunately the new owner had yet to buy any insurance...

I still don't understand how they started to so easily, with the system I had in it should of made it very difficult. Unless they just chucked it on the back of a tilt tray truck?

Unless they just chucked it on the back of a tilt tray truck?

This seems most likely to me, I highly doubt they got into the car without setting off the alarm, bypassed the keypad and disabled the immobilizer, all without the keys.

Ahhh some people really should have been swallowed :( Sorry to hear mate, I'll keep an eye out.

I used to drive it to curtin when i had her. usually parked her at the loading zone bay near 408 abacus.... was the best spot as no one could park next to her and leave dents in the doors, when they opened theirs...

f**k man......im nearly in tears ......

Who the fck would do that....

I will be keeping a massive eye out, and will take pictures if i see it my phone is always ready to take pics.

I work in lansdale/fremantle, so i drive alot, so im most likely to see it if it is driving around.

Feel for you.

My old car got broken into a while ago, they stole My brand new deck/sub/speakers :( worth around 2k :(

heard on the radio today that a stolen white skyline was in a cop chase that ended in a crash?

Yep, that may be the one.

Police contacted the new owner, asked for pictures to 100% identify thats it the one... just waiting on the phone call to confirm... sigh i hope there isnt too much damage..

Not surprised they crashed it.. probably didnt realise or didnt know how to handle a car with a two way and side slid it into a pole or something....

Sorry to hear mate, makes me cringe to hear this every time a Skyline is stolen - these lowlifes need to be KILLED slowly friggin a%%holes.. How many of u got an in-car-GPS system which sends a sms to you when the car is moved.. I'm getting one ASAP. Most likely a tow-truck job, these bastards I'm sure wont go to lengths to disable the GPS, they'll just load the car up and flee..

Damn ya'll hope this prick didn't do to much damage to the car, if its written off, then maybe we can do a fundraiser/ cruise to get the rightfull owner back in a skyline, say $50 from everyone on the cruise thats just an idea.

Who else is up for that and to start ideas on the situation.

are you high man, i aint got $50 to give to some one to buy a new car, he should have had insurance.

sure it sucks but them the brakes,

i reckon the 2 way would have been a bit of a suprise for him, specially in a get chase

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
