Long time lurker I think I'm a first time poster
At 1:30 last night (19/04/2015) a pair of jackasses stole my pride and joy from Fairfield in Victoria

My Midnight Purple 1995 r33 GTR Vspec
REGO: UED 795
V/N No: 6T91MPV97S1WDR001
ENGINE No: RB26051133A
As you can imagine I am completely devastated (I freaking loved the car)
The car has been serviced and worked on by Racepace here in Vic since 2006 and was in amazing condition, the photos probably don't do it justice.
The Volk ce38n's had a little bit of gutter rash on them but more distinctively had a grove around the inside of one of the rims where a rock managed to get jammed between the caliper and the wheel.
Bellow is a list of parts that were on it
18 * 10.5 Volk CE 38n's on Bridgestone 285/30/18 RE55
3.5 inch Race Pace straight through exhaust
Apexii PowerFC Computer and controller
TEIN RS suspension and camber arms
Alcon brakes (6 pot front, 4 pot rear)
Garrett 2860r turbos
Koyo Radiator
and a bunch of other stuff like a new clutch, oil cooler and custom catch can, rear harness bar and front harnesses.
Forgive the pictures but I'm on my not on my computer typing this.

Yeah it was in a "secure" carpark, however earlier in the week someone broke into another car and stole a remote for the garage door.

The car had an old alarm and immobilizer however it had been stuffing up and sometimes not engaging. So I'm not sure if they managed to bypass it or if it just wasn't on.

The suspension was racepace modified. Come to think of it I may have the number for them somewhere, I'll have to go through my 10 years worth of receipts I have for the car :S

Thanks Guys don't like my chances of finding it in one piece :(

Figured I should put up the CCTV images of one of the jerks that was given to me from the apartment block.

They are also CE28ns not 38s should have proof read!

Sorry for the slow reply, I totally missed the thread coming back up.

After the pictures hit facebook we managed to get a name for the person who stole it. We passed this along to the police and they sent a patrol car to drive past the front of his house and that was about it, it took weeks of passing bits of information along to them till they finally raided a number of properties that he lived in.

They found a number of stolen cars but sadly not mine :( His trial is in a few months, I'm not even sure if they will even try to bust him for stealing my car along with the other three. Apparently he is suspected of stealing a fair few cars around the area in the last year.

Funny enough he was already on parole for stealing a Porsche to fund has Ice addiction a few years back.

The car hasn't been recovered and he isn't talking, why would he? He will be out in a few months and hell he got bloody married a few weeks ago in prison apparently.

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
