is saw this just now. Yes was a 33 with a Gtr badge, but i counted a few other skylines, a black/Grey 33, possibly another one? One car in the background look partially stripped.

Was at broadview.

Hope a few people will now get their pride and joys back..

hope the f**kers dont get a light sentance either!

but thats good news some stolen cars have been found :yes:

itll be hard for the courts to slap someone on the wrist for 8 stolen vehicles.

if they do however, then it really does show how corrupt the system really is.

Just looking at the vid report again.. these are cars i could make out

series 1 r33 grey metallic (with silver/blue strut brace)

silver/gold r33 gtr? (might just be a gts-t with 400r kit and gtr spoiler + badge)

vp commodore (xbb-45?)

commodore ute with chromies in the tray

Damn, that house is literally under 3km from my place - far too close to home.

Let's hope they make examples out of these people.

But no doubt they have caught a very small fraction of the people actually involved.

I can't believe the cars were in such unstripped condition - why steal all those cars and just hang on to them? Maybe waiting for the heat on them to go down before rebirthing them interstate perhaps?

Thanks heaps for the video Howie - much appreciated!! I very much enjoyed the Asimo movie too - we were keen as to go see him/it, but my son came along on 1 Nov, which made it a bit difficult.

    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
    • Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛
    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .
