R33 Gtr Stolen And Recovered In Como

[Zoroz]

Hey Guys,

Well I suppose it was inevitable owning a Skyline that it would eventually be stolen.

Car got stolen on Thursday morning 27/2/2014, I walked out the door at 6:45am to find it missing, got through to the cops at 7:30am with the location of the car showing on the installed GPS tracker, my car was recovered with some ignition damage and 2 crooks were arrested in action by 8:30am, the car was only 4 blocks away.

Hilarously one guy bolted and the cops chased him down through some neighbours yards, I hope they ruffed him up a bit.

I'll post more when I can but the company I got the tracker from is a startup called Galaxseek based in Perth and I am very happy with the performance of the device as it tracked them to within 3 metres.

I highly recommend anyone with a skyline/performance car start seriously thinking about a GPS tracker or it's going to get stolen and parted out by some low life piece of shit.

Hey Simon, glad you got the car back in one piece!

So happy for you

Stolen car thread in VIC probably needs your input!

[scotty nm35]

Agreed. Vic section is that way ^

Hopefully your first post is legit, not just pushing one of your products... Owners of GTR's would usually have a higher post count as they constantly need repair.

I was interested enough to google the company and didn't find much info.

Just wondering why would anyone go to the trouble of installing a GPS tracker but not have a proper security/immobilizer system to stop the thieves in their tracks?

Only ignition damage? You're basically telling us the car's bare bar the tracker. That's sus, I'm sorry. Pay the vendor fees so you can promo your shiz please

Lol so much suspicion on the plug, now I wish I took photos of the damage.

I'm fairly sure my battery ran flat and they wheeled it out of my driveway, when the cops grabbed them everything under the steering wheel was gutted with wiring hanging out and the glove box hanging ajar with my apexi power fc controller on the seat, in the engine bay the siren had been ripped out an cut.

And yeah maybe I shouldn't have plugged the gps dude as he's starting up a new company, meh don't care whether you look him up the main thing is gps rocks.

On the post count thing I don't really post, just skim the parts threads for the next upgrade mostly, touch wood to date I've only blown an engine when the stock oil pump exploded and got that repaired at Japanese performance centre plus a radiator bust it's guts but I replaced that with a mate.

I don't think you can blame people for being a bit suspicious.

Good to hear that your got your car back though, that's great news

Thanks for posting Zoros.. was my old car and yes the post is legit.. check my post count to find the issues that were resolved on the car.. I was the one who found the car for him and yes I went overboard on the security of it. the downside is that if the car is not driven much the battery does get drained after a while. Worked when it counts, and I guess thats all that matters.. When you get it back from the cops let me know and we'll re-wire it a bit differently this time..
