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 :P

The r33 was not registered for 2 years and the police were looking into who actualy owns it.

If you were to ask me for my opinion they are all in on it.

I mean look at the facts:

1 there was a "insane motor sport" business card with oily fingerprints found in my car by the police.

2 at the premises of "insane motor sport" my 5 grand tyres and rims were attached to an unregisterd r33 with no radiator in it, and minus a steering wheel so it wasnt going anywhere in a hurry.

3 if the r33 was not registered for 2 years (acording to the police) how did it get there and when?

Now remember my car had gone missing for only 7 days so what are the chances the white r33 has been there all the time????

So all the police have to do is ask how and when did the car get there. Remember they cant drive it unless they have a vic roads permit so they must have towed it either way they would have to show some paper work unless they paid cash to the toe and even then they would have to remembered there name being less than 7 days ago.

But If it was there for more than 7 days then they are all guilty.

Case closed.

But instead 1 person puts his hand up and claims it to be his car and they arrest him for possesion of stollen goods, and it wasnt even in his name??? allowing the rest of them to continue doing what they do best.

No wonder they call Australia the lucky country!

I live in preston so it wasnt far but dont worry im sure these guys travel.

And yes the beers havnt stopped flowing....

Happy days

Nick :)

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

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 :P

count me in!

Happy Days!!

Nick.

Anyone else ? :) I'll be closing this Group Buy 30 April 06 at midday. :);)

I've had a taste of catching a person who tried to steal my car and lets just say............ That's my kind of Extreme Sports !! :P

You are a very lucky man, with some good friends.

The lesson here, apart from having full comp insurance, a decent car alarm, etc, having something unique done to your car that makes it identifiable. In your case the carbon fibre wing.

The stupid theives managed to change the rego plates and the expensive wheels you put on, but forgot about the wing. What's the chances of your friends reconising your car with no wing, different wheels and rego? It's just another white R32 GTR. Thank god it's not gun metal grey!

It's strange the theives didn't start the rebirth process staight away and keep it behind closed doors until finished but rather they drove it around for a few days, yeah you're very lucky.

Good work, good work guys. Congrat to you mate, anychance if we can have this STICKY in Victoria Section?

Thankyou, and yes i have no problem with sticking in it the victorian section. The more people that realise how easy it is to get there car stolen the better.

PM sent.

    • Just checked in first post and you should be able to bring it home November this year, right? I'm amazed you made it through four years of this. As hard as it feels now the rest will go by in a breeze in hindsight, I'm sure.
    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
