Hi All,

http://www.bordermail.com.au/story/2837966/car-stolen-from-under-nose/

I'm appealing for members of the community to keep an eye out for my vehicle which was stolen from our driveway in Thurgoona, NSW on Thursday night / Friday morning.

The car was my 1994 Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-t. Automatic transmission, silver in colour with NSW rego plates AOU-86T.

Car stands out from the outside a fair bit.

It had a 400R bodykit, Carbon Fibre Bonnet, dark tinted windows and brand name stickers down each door.

Drivers side front fender had a crack in it.
Inside, I had painted the dash surround with a flip paint, which changed colour from a dark green to purple colour depending on the angle the sun hits it, HKS turbo timer sits on top of the steering column.
Mechanically, I had added a HKS 2530Kai kit I had imported from Japan (so I would assume it would be a rare turbo kit to come up for sale in Oz), pretty sure the brand was Turbosmart blue anodised blow-off valve with variable volume feature. I had also polished up both engine covers.

The car holds sentimental value to me as it was my first car I had owned (now about 12yrs). I didn't drive it much, so it has really low km's for that year model (92673 kms) as I had only completed my NSW rego check a week or so prior to it being stolen.

Its a real blow to both my wife and I with our first child only about 3 months off being born. It has shaken us up as our house must have been watched for some time prior to the car being taken.. It's a bad feeling not now feeling safe in your own house.

The car was locked and the battery was disconnected at the time. The car had a four inch exhaust from the turbo you would hear it start up!

My assumption is the car was broken into on the driveway and pushed onto a car trailer (but who knows).

I've attached a representative pic of what the bonnet and bodykit on my car looked like.

If you've seen this car or any parts like what I have described being sold can you please PM me or call the Albury Police on (02) 6023 9299.

Thankyou,

Adrian.

Hi Terry,

Unfortunately no CCTV at our place or in the street, but I have spoke to our developer who has a multitude of CCTV camera's around their display homes at the start of the estate. Hopefully they were dumb enough to exit that way out of the estate (two exits) and our developer captured something. Will know more Tuesday from them.

Yeah, being on the border, I've posted to NSW and Vic forums. Also posted to whole cars for sale forum.

Thankyou.

what bastards. i am from wagga. own a silver 96 r33 gtst. will keep an eye out as there are not many around this way and is a stand out vehicle. i hope the police get them . Makes me worried about mine.

My gtr got broken into 3am Saturday morning, thanks to my alarm calling me and smsing me I woke up went down stairs and herd someone trying to open the door so I quietly went back upstairs and got my wife to call the cops

I then went and sat in a spot where I could keep an eye on the car, I thought to myself if I go rage and run down he might have a weapon or run off and return a later day

Somehow I kept my cool to sit and wait for police, I then herd "get on the floor don't move don't move!!" And people running so I jump down the stairs and see 6 cops slam this scum to the floor and handcuff him

He was taken to the local station where he is known for theft

My previous gtr was stolen back in 2012, with this gtr I went all out on the alarm/pager/gps and I did all I could to really catch this son of a bitch

Thankfully no body damage to get into the car but the obviously the ignition barrel and wires under the steering are all fudged

I first got the call from the alarm at 3:10, cops were there at 3:25 and he still couldn't start the car, suck shit

Can't stress how important a good alarm system is people, spending $1200 on a alarm is cheap compared to loosing a gtr

Wow. Thats a good result. Out of a bad situation of course.

I'm sure everyone would want to smash the guy, but the reality is you will be the one in trouble not him. Shit system...

Great result Michael!

* Even if he makes bail (in this nany state), I don't think he'll come back to your place - that's taboo to him.

* If he's on drugs, he probably won't repent and get a job because he won't know how to get and keep one.

* Your presence of mind and patience to let things happen is to be admired.

yes a good alarm is worth it. There has been a spate of scum burning parked cars on the street here in Wagga and the usual car theft of older cars. They are always found burnt out. Mainly happening in the poorer class suburbs. A good result for you Michael but if any low life gets into my joint or my skyline be prepared to meet my baseball bat or my monster dog.Its always self defence though but I would need a good barrister, or claim being mental. That works.

My GTS25T got broken into 2 weeks ago at my front door in my driveway about 1:30 Friday morning was kinda weird my dogs were going off my wife yelled out shuddup boys then I came down for work was putting my work boots on and noticed my interior light on in my car went outside and my passenger door was open.

thing is NO forced entry and nothing was broken or stolen.

So I dunno wtf they wanted or was doin or how they unlocked my passenger door.

    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
    • Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.
    • About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
