I had the same experience a year ago, but the theives got away.

Around 1am at night I hear this noise, I live in a one way street, look outside as usual and saw two teenagers one inside and one outside keeping watch.

Stood outside my front balcony and yelled out, they see me and bolted down the street. From this day I regret yelling out, I gave them an opporunity to get away.. should of just bolted out the door.

Ran downstairs jumped in the car and floored it down the street in search for the theives, but they got away.

Ripped out the stereo headunit, and side mounted gauges stolen.

What can you do when you have no garage to store your pride and job in !!

yer well these kids bikes are worth around 500 together which gives me the impression they are not there bikes 13yr old are pretty keen in my town they steal cars at the age of 16 as fun

it a joke cause the parents are to blame they dont care, wat 13yr old kid is out at 10pm serious the coppa knew the kids parents so that cant be good they dont know em as friend either lol

todays youth is a joke overall worst attitude wanna be gangstas disrespecting older ppl but they get away with it because of the justice system which is wat will happen with these kids

Mate sorry to hear about your steering wheel getting flogged. Want to know how bad the justice system really is? This happened to a mate.

He woke up to find that his cars and bikes along with some electrical goods had been stolen. Ford XR6, holden astra convertible, R1, some type of yamaha, was lucky the ferrari wasn't nicked as well(it had the exhaust removed so couldn't be taken). Anyway, he reports it all to no avail. However 2 nights later the thieves are caught in a nearby suburb doing breakins with his cars. They catch 2 of the thieves out of 7(good effort that) and lock them up. The 2 kids turn out to be 13 and 17 yrs old and have in their possession the keys to his R1 bike which is all he really wanted back. turns out these kids have a bit of a rap sheet, 39! convictions of break and enter and numerous car stealing charges. They refuse to give up the location of the R1 and the cops let them go with a slap on the wrist of "don't do it again". After 39 times of getting caught and let go I'm sure they won't do it again :/

Todays kids are seriously f**ked up. Sell the bikes and buy a new steering wheel and get them to do some community service like paint your house as suggested. Only way they will ever learn. Get their parents to paint the house too, for raising such terrible little sh*ts. thieves p*ss me off.

I would have given the bikes back to the parents and then sent a piece of kid back every month...

Just before I left Sydney, I caught someone fooling around inside my Supra..... I ended up being charged for assault ocassioning bodily harm or Assault with a weapon causing harm and intimidation(Club Lock). Anyway, Went to court.. Army squared it away, Police dropped the charges, schmucko had to pay costs, fees and copped 6 months in the big house as it was his 3rd offence...

Kinda glad charges got dropped, I am too small to go to prison

Mike

The youth of today... Sacred cows we should call them, for they can do no wrong and must never be touched... Parents should only take 1/3 the blame, other 2/3s should go out to the lawyers and politicians that protect these scum!

Stuff like this just pisses me off. If I did anything like that ever, my life would probably end at that point of time. Would be my parents filing the "trippen and fell into the gutter face first" report...

I do admire your self restraint though. Just sitting on him? Not what my choice of action would be, but then again people go to jail for murder :P

Dude, wtf does a 13yo have a use of a quick release steering wheel without the rest of the gear to put it on a car

remember in F&F Tokyo Drift, when that little nugget Bow Wow is trying to sell that steering wheel...

once again, lets all blame F&F =p

No use giving the bikes to Salvo's or St Vincent de Paul, where do you think these kids get thier bikes from in the first place!!!

The biggest trouble is, the gov't wants to blame society, parents, the victim, anybody..............but the real blame rests with the gov't for being such soft c0cks and letting kids like that do the same crime again and again. You see it all the time.

In the old days they would have put 'em in the gunny sack with the kittens and a brick and dropped 'em off the town bridge, problem solved.

ahhahah i like your thinking or at least cut off here hands

i went to the cop station today to see what has come about it all

the constiable is on "days off" will be back tuesday untill then i have no stering wheel and have two bikes in my back yard im just oin to sell them and when they ask where are the bikes ill just say must have being taken ...

and ontop of that smash his parents aswell

look after ur kids u fu#$@ scumbag !!!!

lolll

i know ey

wat happnd to playing with hot wheels and tips wit the local neighbours :s

those days are goneee

i blame MTV lol

was lucky the ferrari wasn't nicked as well(it had the exhaust removed so couldn't be taken).

how does not having an exhaust mean you can't drive/steal a car? sounds like a form of theft prevention i haven't heard of.

just return the bike to them but take an important part of it and say it was "stolen" :P

Hahaha - like the seat!!!

Return everything, and demand payment for damages.

I agree with this - if you keep their bikes, effectively you are just as bad as them.

Are you pressing charges??

Let us know what happens, im interested to see if the cops do anything, or if the kids will just get a warning.

Hope you get your steering wheel back.

if they were stealing stuff out of your car the bikes probably weren't theirs. so i would take them to the cops, cause the last thing you need is for the rightful owner of the bikes to find out you have them, then you get into shit for possesing stolen property. if they were stolen and you take them in that will be something else that the kids can be charged for. and if no-one claims the bikes after 3 months they become yours.

but as much as it sucks to get shit stolen, you dd leave your window down. that doesn't help prevent shit like this happening. car covers just mean that once the little pricks get into the car they can steal all the stuff without people seeing them do it.

but as much as it sucks to get shit stolen, you did leave your window down. that doesn't help prevent shit like this happening.

Hallelujah.

Someone sees the light.

teazn_r33, I assume by your numberplates that you live in Victoria.

Are you aware that in Victoria, it is an offence to leave windows down/doors unlocked on your vehicle while it's unattended?

(It's somewhat hidden, but it's certainly law)

Take some responsibility, you're just as guilty as they are.

By sitting on this kid, you could have injured him.

Sure, you had the right to detain him, but if the child sustained any injury from your actions, you could end up in a whole lot of hot water.

If the parents have good lawyers, prepare to get bent over.

Assault WAY outweighs theft in court.

    • I certainly fall into the annoyed camp, but glad to hear that if it's happening at low boost then I'm not likely going to blow a turbo and end up with metal shards in my oil. Just feels like it prevents me from really driving it without hesitation and "peak" performance. Wonder if it's the VCAM, it did an impressive job of shifting the torque curve and faster spool, but maybe now it's "too fast" and there's too much air for how open the throttle is.  Based on some other threads, will also do some reading on synchronizing the actuators. They are the default actuators that come on the Garrett's and I would think they would be set the same coming from the factory, but if the turbos don't actually work exactly the same way at the same time as previously mentioned, it would be worth making sure the actuators are actuating together properly
    • I went down this rabbit hole before, ended up sourcing a motor from the UK (I'm in Japan) which also didn't function correctly. With the original motor, I disassembled it and reassembled it and it works somewhat, sometimes. What I could deduce from all my screwing around is that there is calibration of the gears on the inside of the motor and two ramps on the main gear which activate switches that operate the motor and move the sunroof either to retract into the roof or tilt. Where I got stuck was that, it seemed in my case that one or both of the switches that are activated by the ramp on the gear did not always activate and thus the motor did not move, causing it to sometimes not retract or tilt (apologies, I've forgotten which way it didn't work.).  Of course this part is discontinued at Nissan now, it's the same part in the S15 but no other models. I also contacted the manufacturer of the component for schematics - forgot the name, they're based in Gifu - but they declined to share the information due to being bound by an NDA, sadly. Looking through my pictures now, it seems I last had a crack at this in 2022. See, I so kindly wrote "open" and "close" next to the switches. If you figure it out, please do tell me. Those little switches, with the red buttons may need to be replaced.
    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
