Congrats! You're so lucky complete dummies stole your car. I can't believe anybody would be driving a stolen car in public like that, and even stupid enough to keep stolen goods at their workshop! IDIOTS!! Worked in your favour though that's for sure!!

This is insane, awesome work!! Cant believe you caught them walking back to your car and found your rims at the performance shop. Top effort, hopefully the crims will be getting alot of sausage when they are locked up.

Man that's awesome. I literally started punching the air as if I had just found the car myself and it was my own when i read that.

Feel good story for the week.

Thanks for sharing.

And yeah, I would shame the thieves too.

Go knock on the neighbours doors of the house where you found it, to see if they lived there, or if it was just a mates place.

Either way, tell them what happened, and ask if it's ok to put up a big sign saying "Car thieves live here ---->" on thier front lawn for a couple weeks!

:rolleyes::thumbsup: ABSOLUTELY AWESOME NEWS !!!!!! :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Prosecute them to the full extent of the law ( consult a good solicitor ) and sue them for all the mental anguish they caused you. All the sleepless nights and migrane's you've had since your car was taken and how that's affected your job, your relationship and your general health and wellbeing. :blush:

If all else fails, revenge is sweet !!! :thumbsup:

your lucky it was stolen by some of the most uneducated and hopeless thieves anyone has probably seen for quite some time.....

stealing a car, parking it in full view of the public in someones driveway, slipping a business card under the street, then having stolen goods from the car sitting at the business addresss?!?!

these clowns deserve 12" of love behind bars for their stupidity!

That's great that you got your car back. For everyone else I'll tell you that there is NO way they will get time behind bars for this. Courts are rediculous. Just like your all happy when you contest a ticket and win, so will these guys. Small fine and good behavior bond.

Very true! If you want justice then expose them to SAU and a local newspaper!!

Thanks so much for all your replys and best wishes, you all have hearts of gold.

My GTR had its steering wheel removed and replaced with a steering wheel with a S logo on it. Im guessing its a skyline wheel as it fitted straight on, and funny enough the white r33 with my wheels in the INSANE MOTOR SPORT workshop didnt have a steering wheel at all.

They smashed the ignition barrel then unscrewed the ignition module behind the key barrel but funnily the plastics were not damaged so i think they must have unsrewed the the steering collum plastics and then re-asembled them operating the ignition by turning the module with a screw driver hanging out from under the dash.

The alarm was working so they must have worked out how to disarm it without a remote. The alarm was a AUTO MATE made by DIRECTED ELECTRONICS same company as VIPER also same price, $1000 installed!

THe wipers were removed and also the black plastic just underneath but left in place, minus the rear bonnet rubber and screws and clips holding it down.

When i went to a Wrecker to buy some wipers i told this young kid about my story and he told me when these cars get re-birthed they remove these parts to get to the number on the firewall with a grinder and replace it with other numbers. Made sence to me.

Also my rego plates were tossed and replaced with some suspended rego plates and my australian compliace tags were removed.

My mechanic told me the rims my car was found with were from a s14. The body had very minor dints but moslty intact. So i was conviced the theives had a wrecked white GTR with plans to re-birth it with my baby.

But wait there more.

On monday i got a call from a guy called Alex who had just imported a white GTR r32 and was selling it.

He asked me if the guy who the police charged for my wheels was called sam? i said no but the guy who owns Insane Motor Sport located at 16 Bancell St Campbellfield is named sam.

When i asked him why he asked he explained to me someone called sam rang him about his car, gave him his address but never showed up. He thought at the time he was just wasting his time.

Shortly afterwards one morning he noticed his GTR not in his garage but pushed across the road broken into and 3 of the 4 screws holding the stering wheel plastics together on the drivers side carpet. He thinks the theives were spooked somehow and left the car in the street.

As no one else rang him about his car he thinks this caller is the only person who could have known about his car.

I advised him to call the broadmeadows police who are handling my case and report it

So im guessing that someone somewhere has got a white wrecked r32 GTR with plates and want to re-birth it.

Take care everyone.

Happy Days :mad:

I propose we organise a group buy with a difference :P

Group Buy on flights for all to Melbourne, then Group Buy on rental of a mini-bus and we'll all visit said workshop and the homes of the thieves.

After the tour / workout we could all go to Lygon St. for Pizza and Gelato :thumbsup:

That's awesome news.

I swear every workshop around Campbellfield/Fawkner is full of dodgy f**ks. You can just sense it when you're talking to them. You could probably turn up to any workshop in the area and they'd deserve a good beating for something or another. It'd be the first place I'd look if my car was stolen.

Was the white 33 actually their car or was it another stolen vehicle?

I guess the thieves won't be working for that workshop again eh? They must have been 15 with those sh1te skills.

Btw what side of town do you live on for your car to turn up there?

I think you owe your mate quite a few beers :D

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
