Hey everyone,

My GTR R32 was stolen yesterday morning(14/4/09) at about 2.45am. Its silver with grey rims, Kakimoto exhaust and there were Wiseco Pistons and MTX Audio stickers on rear windscreen. Number plates are AW58AK. Anyone heard or seen anything about this car can you please contact me as I am offering an $8000 reward because of its sentimental value. They broke in using an old aerial which was left at the seen and brought there own fuses as I take mine out every night! Steering lock was on so they probably smashed the column to pieces and drove it away with a screwdriver! F**king bastards!

I saw a car very much like what you're describing yesterday at around 4:30pm driving north on the Princes Hwy Kirrawee.

1 person in the car with short, dark curly hair and big aviator style sunnies on. Can't be 100% on the plate, but the numbers / letters you mentioned are familiar ( I always read plates and try to figure out what they mean ). I'm sure that's no real help to you, but........... :P

Yep. I often read plates too. Stays in the short term memory for a couple of days.

Sound like Yellow/Black plates (if they ain't changed by now)?

Post some pics up mate..

A car that's worth $8000 in reward to get back...? Sounds like you should have taken some more steps to secure it! GPS/GSM tracking for example.

Sorry to hear though mate. All the best in getting it back.

They dont have to be the right fuses.. any high rated fuse will do!

At the end of the day, any semi-pro car thief will be able to figure out that if there's no immobiliser they can find, then the fuses must be missing/blown.. it's the first step in diagnosing why a car doesnt kick over!

Yeah.. it was booked in yesterday to get alarm.. funny how it went the day before! Ive posted an 8G reward because of the sentimental value. Mybrother who passed had given the car to me, thats why it means so much! Plus the 200 man hours ive spent on it!

I've seen a deadset ringer for this parked basically on the corner of Oscar St and Victoria Avenue in Chatswood (On your left if you're heading towards Westfield from the RTA).

Can't confirm the number plate, and It was only there in the morning when I walked to work, wasn't there in the afternoon.

If I see it again I'll confirm the number plate.

know how you feel mate; had my first GTR stolen and although it didn't have the family connection that yours has, it's still a kick in the guts when you go out to an empty space where the car should be. I had six yrs and hard earned $$s in that baby. hope the 'generous reward helps; ironic isn't it how we have to offer payment to get back what we already own?!.

theiving a/holes$.

the cops caught the guy that stole my car; he is now doing 'time' but he refused to reveal what he had done with the car. I went to court for sentencing and later met with some of his 'mates' and his girlfriend outside the court. I offered them $5k reward for info on where the car was but never heard form any of the 'scum'. also posted reward on this forum, no luck.

anyway, just thought I would pass on sympathy, I know where you are coming from. good luck.

Man that sucks. My car was broken into not long ago, fortunately they didnt get the car. Sounds like it is someone in your street who knows you take the fuses out.

FYI you only need to take the fuses out for about 2-3min to demobilize the car and what not, or its the battery terminal, one or the other, so a pro bringing fuses sounds suss to me. I think its someone you know or who lives near you.

Dude that sucks, sounds like a organised crime hit though if they wont offer up info about the car for that cash.

Think on the bright side, the scum bag that they caught gets to enjoy the showers for how long?

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
