Need Help Restoring My R33

[R33 GTS TURBO]

My R33 got stolen and this is what i am left with:

Front type blew off and they drove it for another 10 minutes over curbs and all

This is just side on view cant really see any damage

We were chasing them the whole time they had the car but i dont know how this dent happened i believe they hit a bollard in the ground

Front bumper Damage from curb hopping

Missing fan

This was what was left of the rubber

Basically if someone could offer some suggestions as to what price range i would be looking at to fix it and any places that you would recommend to get the panels fixed and fan etc

I would need to replace all 4 wheels as they are badly dinged up

I live in Perth ( South Side)

If you need any extra info just add a reply as a will be watching the post like a hawk.

Sorry if i got this listed in the wrong thread i didn't know which one to choose.

[PM-R33]

So did you catch the thief and beat him to death?

[R33 GTS TURBO]

**** 3 Grand is a bit, I am getting the car for 4500 so i suppose it still might be worth it.  Does anyone know what the fan is for, that i am missing?

And unfortunately they had a mate following them which they then bailed into his car when they crashed mine, I will give the full story when i get back from work

I feel really sorry for you. My R33 got stolen Saturday night and I don't think I'll ever see it again.

if its an electric fan that is missing then it will be for your air conditioner me thinks

do you have any info on the back up car, maybe someone spotted it. did you follow the car after or just run to your baby?

I'll have to leave out a far bit to make it sound as legal as possible

Ok so Sunday morning at 3:50am on the 10^th I wakeup to the scream of my mum saying "Brock they're stealing your car!!!" So I jump up and then can hear my car over revving real hard then the sound of it skidding off down the street. So me and my dad (who is an ex-rally driver) jump into his car which is a Chrysler 300C Srt8 with a fair few mods (thank goodness because we only just kept up with mine). So off we go scooting around the side streets off down the main road and I think I see the flash of my rear brake lights turning down another main street so off we go (obeying all the speed signs of course )turn left down the next main road but no cars in sight so we continue down and then finally we see my car drifting out of a side road nearly hitting us and there mates behind them so I am hanging out the window and yell a few nice words at them but can't really see them because my windows are tinted. As soon as they see us they slam on the brakes and do a hard u-turn so we begin start turning around mid way through their friends accelerate hard towards our car then at the last second turn (I found that odd because I would of thought if it was stolen they would of hit us) But then again it looked too expensive for them to have purchased. So after that we go off ending after them ending up on the wrong side of the Tonkin hwy, armadale road, etc down side streets going 15-kms+ with the side passenger who appeared to be a really tall and buff kiwi throwing all my items at my car like (radar detector, Gps, Ipod holder, etc ) finally my front tire blew up, when they were doing a power drift and hit the side of a curb so I am telling the cops get the fk over here they are about to bail finally they go over a curb hit a bollard and a sign post saying "Welcome to armadale please drive safely" which actually made me laugh, went into a island stopped the car dead and bailed so I jump out and chase the driver who looked like a small aboriginal male and I see the kewi jump into their back up car and come to the side of our car and lean out with a golf stick and start hitting the side of our car knocking out the side window etc, the driver of my car also jumped into the backup car and took off the only reason we didn't chase them is we only had about 5km's worth of fuel left in our car so I ran over to my baby to check out the damage these pricks did 10 minutes later the cops turn up.

Through this whole ordeal I have the police on the line and I got to say they are dam pathetic I was on the line with them for near 25 minutes and finally spoke to a sergeant who was Indian and hardly spoke a word of English I was reading out sign posts when we were traveling downside streets and he hung up twice and said we will be there in 1 minute which was stupid because every 30 secs we changed street

I don't have exact details on the make of the car because we never went slowly and i was mainly watching my car but this is the best description i can give

Though a lighter blue color

Lowered

Different rims

and what appeared to be a quad exhaust

This is pretty vague so it prolly wont help

Sorry to hear your car got stolen Jonathan i reckon it's the worse possible feeling. I hope you find your car.

This is the place where i reckon the fan is missing. When i found it on the floor it looked to be around 40 cm by 40 cm will swing by and pick it up tomorrow 

[jhjones]

Some of the scratches and paint might come out with cut n polish. Also you can try bang the dent out behind the drivers door. Could you please take a photo of the ignition?

the electric fan for the aircon goes slightly to the right and plugs into the brown plug hanging there. it kinda looks like part of the bracket is broken off and still bolted there at the bottom.

[R33 GTS TURBO]

Popped the lock with a screwdriver looks like the deadbolt would of saved me if it was locked

Also glad you found your car anything wrong with it besides ignition

sad to hear your car was stolen but atleast you still have it.

the dent in the rear quarter might pop out if your lucky, but you will need to take the interior out to see if you have access. if not it will come out at a professional crash repair shop. it also depends which type of method they use as they can use bodyfiller or they can metal file it. but it will need to be put back into primer and paint, the quarter window will have to come out and so will the side skirt and the rear tail light. since there are no roof mouldings there is a chance that that will have to paint the quarter panel but also clear the damaged panel but the roof and the other quarter aswell as there are no roof mouldings to separate them.

i can see how this damage may cost up to 3 grand but go around and see what they quote you.

hope this info helps as being in trade has its advantages sometimes

The passenger window was smashed, 300kms on the clock and empty tank of gas.
