Car thefts are appaling especially when they happen to someone you know. Hopefully your mate has some luck locating the culprits or the car.

All the guys who have posted about him having a GTR and not affording insurance, re-read the original post. He didnt have it because of his age. This to me would say he is on his P's and no one would legally insure him. Insurance or not though, this sucks big time. :)

sorry to hear that the GTR was stolen .. unfortunately, they're desirable cars and worth a bit of coin, so people are always going to try and take them.

In my mind, if you cannot afford the insurance, you can't afford the car. If nobody will insure you, then wait till someone will.

This guy obviously didn't want to wait, and paid the ultimate price. He's probably sort of well off anyway, if the car was under any sort of finance, it would of needed to be fully insured.

how much is insurance on say an R32 GTR for a P plater, 3rd party to cover stolen?

it coucldnt be any more then $1000 per year, if it is around that then WTF are people doing with these cars? no doubt they play to spend that much on mods?

well as was mentioned above 3rd party fire and theft will only pay out $5K minus excess. comprehensive insurance for a p plater with a 32 GTR in a nice area in sydney will be around the $5K per year mark.

if the car was under any sort of finance, it would of needed to be fully insured.

Yeah but he might've taken out a personal loan to buy the car. That doesn't require insurance.

I agree, I wouldnt own a GTR without insurance but didnt want this turning into a thread about people not affording insurance on a GTR.

This is the third time in recent months that I've read such a tragic story.

While I really feel for anyone who loses their loved car I cannot but reemphasise:

GET F#$#%^G INSURANCE !!!!

If you can't afford the insurance - you shouldn't have the car !!!!

Sorry to be blunt - but really..... how many more times will we hear this story.

Anyhow - Good luck with the recovery (I really mean that)

idealy you should not need insurance.

but it seems there are too many c**ts here who like to steal these cars.

insurance for my age, 22 on a gtr is up around the 6000-7000 mark for a year..

its crazy i know i'd sure love to spent that 7000 on many other things

anyway best of luck finding the car..

p.s. where is griffith??

Damn.. that sucks big-time :D

I've noticed that all of the ones stolen recently have been un-insured. Is that just bad luck, or are there really that many people out there without full comp insurance??

I sure as hell wouldnt drive a car without insurance that is as powerful as skylines are for one, but are also as attractive to theives as a bleeding bull is to piranhas!! :

Anyway, thats hardly the point. Good luck to your mate, I hope he finds the guy(s) and rips their bloody arms off!!!

Ok the car was found lucky for ya mate NOW HE MIGHT GET INSURANCE.As i posted on another forum age has got jack all to do with it,i'm a young P plater with a modded 33GTR and i have no hassles paying the $4000 yr insurance bill, its a small price to pay for driving such a nice car.

Car theft is a part of life and it aint going to change. Im sick of reading all the sob stories on here about people with GTR's especially getting stolen and hardly anyone having any insurance.

NO INSURANCE = NO SYMPATHY

Man that is cold Bleach1.

I didnt even have time after the car getting into the country to get

my GTR insured before it was broken into twice and stolen on the second

time, although recovered plus one blown engine.

Dude how could u not have time?? you'd have the engine, vin no surely and have it registered before driving it anywhere, u do know all it takes is a phonecall and you're covered from the second you set the policy up??

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
