Stolen White R33 Gts-T - Rego Xkb431

[White_33]

Car found last week, finally got a chance to look at. Pillar clusters, rims, spoiler, front grill, number plates and even the SAU stickers were taken. Generic shit put on.

The prick who took it had the decency to leave a Van Halen cd in the cd player so thanks f**kwit. Hoping the engine isn't screwed but considering my rear bumper is now full of carbon shit, I won't hold my breath.

Pictures speak for themselves:

Good to hear you got it back

Fingers crossed to major damage

Have you been paid out by insurance already?

[White_33]

Thanks mate, I honestly didn't think I'd see it again.

Car is on the way to get assessed atm. Will find out early next week the outcome..

Good to see it found, in what looks like decent condition. Post up compression test results, or whatever else you end up with.

Wtf @ putting stock parts back on?

[Jack-]

^ stock parts to make it look different after being stolen? wheels, grill and spoiler make it stand out

[Odium]

+1, and if its sitting in the back of a factory somewhere and someone spots it as they're passing through and remembers the car from facebook / forums... A complete car which doesn't match the stolen car description won't raise eyebrows, but a half stripped car with the distinguishing features missing does

[Birds]

Or...burn the thing / drive into lake and not worry about turning it back to stock?

Cause the whole effort to return to stock obviously worked in keeping it from being found!

Wtf @ putting stock parts back on?

wow.. thats strange!

does this mean the person who stole it most likely owns a white r33 gtst also?

seen any snooping around?

To update the post, car was found around 4am near the CBD idling in the back streets when found by police.

After giving the car a once over, the prick who took it obviously thought he'd use it for a work car after he sold all the nicer bits. I found so much shit in the boot and back seat (work tools, paint, spare clothes - even a fkn porno). Who the hell steals a car and decides, "yep I'll keep this for myself" and drives it like he owns it?!?! Explains why the stock bits went on.

Car hasn't got any major damage on the body (except for missing bits) comp is fine across all cylinders but the turbo has shat itself, Unfortunately I think they'll write it off .

IF he stole those parts and put stock back on id tend to think he has one... and he wanted the parts.

U reckon they'd write it off based on that? If it's just the turbo and some trim bits gone, I would think at worst maybe 3-4k of repair work necessary.

Started motor also gone, 18" wheels + rubber = $2k so around $6k as quoted by the inspection center.

Hope the police find this person!! And prosecute him to the full extent!

Boils my blood to know there are indecent animals like this around!!

Sorry to hear mate!!!

[serkxx]

How many k's did ur skyline have it looks really clean

It pisses me off the amount of low life scum there is around knocking off vehicles I had a VL caiais stolen from crown about 10 years ago, luckly for me it was found the following day in cranbourne with only the sub and amp taken from it,

I was previously in the 4WD scene and the amount of Nissan Patrols that are getting knocked off in melb is unreal, every week one goes missing, if some prick ever tried to come to my place and knock off my pride and joy they would want to be quicker than a speeding bullet from a 30-06 rifle
