Congrats! You're so lucky complete dummies stole your car. I can't believe anybody would be driving a stolen car in public like that, and even stupid enough to keep stolen goods at their workshop! IDIOTS!! Worked in your favour though that's for sure!!

This is insane, awesome work!! Cant believe you caught them walking back to your car and found your rims at the performance shop. Top effort, hopefully the crims will be getting alot of sausage when they are locked up.

Man that's awesome. I literally started punching the air as if I had just found the car myself and it was my own when i read that.

Feel good story for the week.

Thanks for sharing.

And yeah, I would shame the thieves too.

Go knock on the neighbours doors of the house where you found it, to see if they lived there, or if it was just a mates place.

Either way, tell them what happened, and ask if it's ok to put up a big sign saying "Car thieves live here ---->" on thier front lawn for a couple weeks!

:rolleyes::thumbsup: ABSOLUTELY AWESOME NEWS !!!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Prosecute them to the full extent of the law ( consult a good solicitor ) and sue them for all the mental anguish they caused you. All the sleepless nights and migrane's you've had since your car was taken and how that's affected your job, your relationship and your general health and wellbeing. :blush:

If all else fails, revenge is sweet !!! :thumbsup:

your lucky it was stolen by some of the most uneducated and hopeless thieves anyone has probably seen for quite some time.....

stealing a car, parking it in full view of the public in someones driveway, slipping a business card under the street, then having stolen goods from the car sitting at the business addresss?!?!

these clowns deserve 12" of love behind bars for their stupidity!

That's great that you got your car back. For everyone else I'll tell you that there is NO way they will get time behind bars for this. Courts are rediculous. Just like your all happy when you contest a ticket and win, so will these guys. Small fine and good behavior bond.

Very true! If you want justice then expose them to SAU and a local newspaper!!

Thanks so much for all your replys and best wishes, you all have hearts of gold.

My GTR had its steering wheel removed and replaced with a steering wheel with a S logo on it. Im guessing its a skyline wheel as it fitted straight on, and funny enough the white r33 with my wheels in the INSANE MOTOR SPORT workshop didnt have a steering wheel at all.

They smashed the ignition barrel then unscrewed the ignition module behind the key barrel but funnily the plastics were not damaged so i think they must have unsrewed the the steering collum plastics and then re-asembled them operating the ignition by turning the module with a screw driver hanging out from under the dash.

The alarm was working so they must have worked out how to disarm it without a remote. The alarm was a AUTO MATE made by DIRECTED ELECTRONICS same company as VIPER also same price, $1000 installed!

THe wipers were removed and also the black plastic just underneath but left in place, minus the rear bonnet rubber and screws and clips holding it down.

When i went to a Wrecker to buy some wipers i told this young kid about my story and he told me when these cars get re-birthed they remove these parts to get to the number on the firewall with a grinder and replace it with other numbers. Made sence to me.

Also my rego plates were tossed and replaced with some suspended rego plates and my australian compliace tags were removed.

My mechanic told me the rims my car was found with were from a s14. The body had very minor dints but moslty intact. So i was conviced the theives had a wrecked white GTR with plans to re-birth it with my baby.

But wait there more.

On monday i got a call from a guy called Alex who had just imported a white GTR r32 and was selling it.

He asked me if the guy who the police charged for my wheels was called sam? i said no but the guy who owns Insane Motor Sport located at 16 Bancell St Campbellfield is named sam.

When i asked him why he asked he explained to me someone called sam rang him about his car, gave him his address but never showed up. He thought at the time he was just wasting his time.

Shortly afterwards one morning he noticed his GTR not in his garage but pushed across the road broken into and 3 of the 4 screws holding the stering wheel plastics together on the drivers side carpet. He thinks the theives were spooked somehow and left the car in the street.

As no one else rang him about his car he thinks this caller is the only person who could have known about his car.

I advised him to call the broadmeadows police who are handling my case and report it

So im guessing that someone somewhere has got a white wrecked r32 GTR with plates and want to re-birth it.

Take care everyone.

Happy Days :mad:

Nick

I propose we organise a group buy with a difference :P

Group Buy on flights for all to Melbourne, then Group Buy on rental of a mini-bus and we'll all visit said workshop and the homes of the thieves.

After the tour / workout we could all go to Lygon St. for Pizza and Gelato :thumbsup:

That's awesome news.

I swear every workshop around Campbellfield/Fawkner is full of dodgy f**ks. You can just sense it when you're talking to them. You could probably turn up to any workshop in the area and they'd deserve a good beating for something or another. It'd be the first place I'd look if my car was stolen.

Was the white 33 actually their car or was it another stolen vehicle?

I guess the thieves won't be working for that workshop again eh? They must have been 15 with those sh1te skills.

Btw what side of town do you live on for your car to turn up there?

I think you owe your mate quite a few beers :D

    • Got the gearbox in and the front drive shafts.
    • Hi There I went through a rabbit hole of reading about Xenon headlights and the ADR regulations for having them installed. As people have been defected by running factory xenon I was researching in ways to make them compliant. Everyone always say needs to be self leveling and have washer installed, which I don't necessarily agree with. For this argument I'm using R34 as reference as I'm more aware on the construction of the headlight compared to the R33 Xenon, which may still be the exact same case.   For the self leveling clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles As you can see the bold text "these manually adjustable devices from driver seats" are fine to use. As Series 1 Xenon model headlights do have a 4 level adjuster on the right near the ignition (however not series 2) then these model are consider compliant in that argument.   For the Self Cleaning aspect of this argument clause taken from ADR 13 - Installation of Lighting and Light Signalling Devices on other than L-Group Vehicles Now i can understand the argument that Xenon will need a washer as they are over 2000 lumens, but I clicked on the 12 at the end of that sentence and it takes me to the end notes which states R34 for headlight lenses are plastic, not sure if PL is mark as I don't currently have my skyline to confirm that marking is there. But could you not technically get a lenses with the PL marking on it and then get away with the argument that you need a washer. I went through a quick read of the adr and might have missed something else that may cause them to be non-complaint.    But wouldn't these technically be complaint headlights   Would love to hear other people input on this and shed some light   Edit In regard to the the washer portion I might be mistaken ADR 45 (which I believe is Regulation NO.45) states 12 cd (candela) I dont understand that portion in regarding to calculating the candela if anyone can shed some light. Otherwise I guess throw in a washer for the headlight and you definitely comply.
    • Took it to all Japan day, flogged the hell out of it and took it all, am a very very happy man  don’t know how that ended up in Greg’s thread before
    • Hey Nismo, any chance in the world you still have these seats?
    • I'd say closer to OG GTX3582R, just smaller trim - so 59mm inducer/82mm exducer as opposed to 62/82 for the first gen GTX3582R. Yeah EFRs were boss, the EFR8474 is still an absolute beast and it perplexes me that people still go to things like Turbosmart/Garrett etc when the results people are getting with those are pretty unremarkable compared to what you could get with a turbo available well before those options came out.  DriftSquid (I think) "upgraded" from an EFR9174 to a Turbosmart turbo and promised a comparison video - and kinda shuffled awkwardly and did a bit of diversion from the fact that they didn't get any improvement going to the currently massively hyped brand of turbo from a turbo that was a bit of a frankenstein that had been well superceded in it's own range before the Turbosmart unit he put on there even came out. I suspect the EFR would outperform most Xonas for what a lot of less-insane RB owners would go for, in the 400-600kw range but the Xonas are looking hard to beat up to maybe in the mid 700kw range at this stage- basically where EFRs don't really reach, and before the Precision turbos take over.  What the Xonas do well in the "EFR range" is be easier to package etc, and work very well if a divided housing doesn't suit your application.
