as the guy was caught, and you where assulted pending a conviction shouldnt you recieve victims of crime compensation to cover the 3k excess?

anyways mate, good to see you have your car back and only a bump to the noggin, as shy_6 said shit can get out of hand very quickly

im in the process of trying to find all this out..

it really sucks hearing about these sorts of things.

at least you weren't seriously hurt.

hopefully the whole SAU community can now be aware of this and keep an eye out for suspicious behavour.

and avoid being car jacked or even worse, seriously injured

I'd go to my boot, find a bigger spanner, clonk him over the head, then steal his car!!
I've identified 2 of them, and one has been caught, and is looking at a minimum 12yrs.

My car was one of 4 taken by these guys Friday night, and there is still the stolen black R34 sitting worse for wear at the cop shop's impound area...(anyone missing a black 34?)

Pretty sure that was my mates R34 they were using...his got stolen the same night. He's overseas and spewing, 2nd time it's been stolen and his pretty sure it's the same guys both times.

Did you get much of a look at the car? Much damage?

sucks to hear about the car mate, and the excess you gotta pay. just read through the whole lot and it really opened my eyes to the fact that this shit actually does happen. sort of scares me abit, like others have said no matter how strong you are if 3 or 4 people come at ya with spanners etc your gonna get f**ked up. glad to hear you did find the car though mate. wish ya the best of luck with it all

Nigel, I wish you'd never been put through the experience, and whilst I doubt those found guilty will recieve a just and fair sentence at least you get some piece of mind that they didn't go unpunished.

One day these same indigenous 'gentlemen' will borrow something from the wrong people and as a result will never get a chance to go to court, prison, or waste oxygen ever again. Life has a funny way of adjusting those whom wrong.

Being in the military I can't help but chuckle at the two petty criminals in the UK who decided to try and mug and bash a couple of unassuming blokes in suits, little did the thugs realise that the suits were actually SAS Trooper Mark Donaldson (Australian SAS and recent recipent of the VC*) and one or two other British special forces vet's. The score... good guys 1 vs. bad guys 0.

*The highest military honour/medal possible - for courage under direct fire

that deffinatly sucks mate!!!

such a nice gtr btw. i along with everyone hear wants to see all 3 of them to be sent away for along time, but the law system sucks!!!.

as some one said earlier, ya get a higher sentence for hoon driving then murder now days,

tell what shits me the MOST about all this, there is all this scum going around amounting to ABSOLUTLY NOTHING yet how often do ya see everyday people die of cancer and shit, do everything possible to be good people but we get shitty luck, yet these SCUMBAGS just waste their lives!!!!!!!!,

anyhow, i am glad ya got ya car back mate

mate hope that they get what they deserve but the law system that dictator Rann has brought in for "car hoons" just make things worse. Those crims will prob get 14 -18months max but if you were caught doing a burnout/powerslide/driving without due control then you would have had a worse sentence. i know it sucks but just the way it is. Hopefully it all goes smoothly as well

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
