Rare Car Stolen Whangarei in last few days

Post by BGOSNZ »

Hi, My mates very rare Race Car has been stolen from Whangarei in the last few days- He is away at work so is not sure of exact date.

http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/1047010 ... n-rare-car

If any one sees it or hears of parts of it being offered around please do the right thing and call the boys in blue.

Thanks

BGOSNZ

EDIT: Just added photo of the car.

Bastards. Seen this on stuff the other day. Out of interest what was the engine? If it is a jap GTSR then it should be redtop rb20det, or Aussie GTS a chipped rb30e, but the article says 2.4 so I'm kind of guessing L24ET? either way mongrels could've found a usable engine without needing to steal such a rare performance icon.
