Gtr Thief Gets Three Years- Is It Enough?.


Recommended Posts

hi all,

some of you may remember I posted a topic [stolen GTR R32] in December. there were many of you that wished me luck with the outcome; thanks for that. anyway, here is the outcome. the thief was eventually brought to court [it took four court appearances to actually nail him down; slimey] and the magistrate gave him 3 yrs for his thieving ways. the facts of this case are that he stole the car, got caught about 2 weeks later, but refused to tell police where the car was. I went to all four court appearances; just to see how the "System" deals with this type of crime. the facts about the thief; he is in his very early 20's and has been stealing cars as career, it seems, since the age of 16. whilst stealing cars was the mainstay of his income, he dabbled in breaking/entering, etc, etc. all in all a wrapsheet of 5 pages showed that he couldn't care less about taking other people's property, causing financial loss and the disruption of the lives of the victims.

my point here is, is three years enough?. is it too much?. three years is a loooonng time when you have only lived 20+!!. the system has failed to change his habits. something is not working. what else can be done?; one traffic branch cop reckons 'broken legs' stops them because they [the thieves] cant get their feet on the pedals!!..

the saddest thing [apart from losing my GTR] was seeing the thief's Mom in court and watching her cry when the magistrate handed down the sentence.

such is life.

the good news is my new GTR R32 is on it's way from Japan to Brizzy. bought at auction, 1992, dark blue, 30k km, one owner, stock standard.

its going to cost him more then just three years of his life, a mate of mine used to be a screw he said jail was just an inconvenience for most crims but every now and then one learns a lesson.

all in all i have no time for thieving pricks so i hope jail is a horrible experience for the dude. Good news about the new GTR though, lets hope its stays yours for longer then the last one.

id be happy with 3 years for a theft when you have ppl that only get 5 yrs for sexual assault on kids..........you tell me which verdict youd be more pissed off at

no argument about those convicted of serious assault charges...that wasn't the question, and I'm not pissed off. just trying to see what SAU members' think about car theft/the law regarding car theft.

Stuff 3 years. I say bring back capital punishment. steal a car lose a hand. bastard wont do it again will he. would prevent soo much more people from taking up the life of crime too. I'll even take the job lopping their slimey hands off. ive got a real dull axe thatll take a few hacks to get through the bones.

damn thieves pi$$ me off.

rant over. :/

lmao doesnt every r32 gtr that arrives in australia have around that many kms on the clock...lmao

no.... but I see where you are going with this!. this one has full docu'/service history and looks the part. I've done all I can to check the validity of the clock reading. if it turns out otherwise it wont be the first, nor the last time a car deal turns shitty.

3 years, that'll teach him.

The bad part is that after 3 years he'll come as a better crim. and the vicious cycle goes on.

The punishement should be that the 3 years, instead of sitting in jail, they should be personal slave to the ppls he stole from.

and any breach of the sentence should be dealt with corporal punishment from who ever wants to hand it out.

3 years is good. But watch him probably get out in 1.

yeah, that's what the proscutor said. I'll be keeping tabs on him; he's been orderded to pay restitution when he gets out; I'm not holding my breath waiting for that!!.

I like your style but he stole 3 cars in October ['07] alone, so there would be a "slave share" programme written up.

yep, I had the last one for 6 yrs; a lot of time, effort and $$ invested. more care this time.

Dark blue gtr sounds good!!

i've got one of my own!!

dark blue was my first choice when looking for this one; funnily enough, I had a chance to get a blue one when I bought my first GTR but decided on the gunmetal because it was in better condition. I didn't know then that dark blue is a relatively rare colour. when I was searching the auction sites in Japan looking this time, I checked out hundreds of post June '92 r32 GTRs and only saw 2 blues come up for sale in 2 months. the other one was a totally modded out wreck.

such a young life wasted. Im sure he has learnt the hard way. After doing it hard for 3 years he will change his ways.

agreed, I hope; he changes his 'career' choices, and if not, he stays away from skylines.

just hope he lerns his lesson in jail... he'll lern to fight for suvival or be someone's b**ch they take it easy on u the first time should lern... if not wait for him to come out :/

    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
