as the guy was caught, and you where assulted pending a conviction shouldnt you recieve victims of crime compensation to cover the 3k excess?

anyways mate, good to see you have your car back and only a bump to the noggin, as shy_6 said shit can get out of hand very quickly

im in the process of trying to find all this out..

it really sucks hearing about these sorts of things.

at least you weren't seriously hurt.

hopefully the whole SAU community can now be aware of this and keep an eye out for suspicious behavour.

and avoid being car jacked or even worse, seriously injured

I'd go to my boot, find a bigger spanner, clonk him over the head, then steal his car!!
I've identified 2 of them, and one has been caught, and is looking at a minimum 12yrs.

My car was one of 4 taken by these guys Friday night, and there is still the stolen black R34 sitting worse for wear at the cop shop's impound area...(anyone missing a black 34?)

Pretty sure that was my mates R34 they were using...his got stolen the same night. He's overseas and spewing, 2nd time it's been stolen and his pretty sure it's the same guys both times.

Did you get much of a look at the car? Much damage?

sucks to hear about the car mate, and the excess you gotta pay. just read through the whole lot and it really opened my eyes to the fact that this shit actually does happen. sort of scares me abit, like others have said no matter how strong you are if 3 or 4 people come at ya with spanners etc your gonna get f**ked up. glad to hear you did find the car though mate. wish ya the best of luck with it all

Nigel, I wish you'd never been put through the experience, and whilst I doubt those found guilty will recieve a just and fair sentence at least you get some piece of mind that they didn't go unpunished.

One day these same indigenous 'gentlemen' will borrow something from the wrong people and as a result will never get a chance to go to court, prison, or waste oxygen ever again. Life has a funny way of adjusting those whom wrong.

Being in the military I can't help but chuckle at the two petty criminals in the UK who decided to try and mug and bash a couple of unassuming blokes in suits, little did the thugs realise that the suits were actually SAS Trooper Mark Donaldson (Australian SAS and recent recipent of the VC*) and one or two other British special forces vet's. The score... good guys 1 vs. bad guys 0.

that deffinatly sucks mate!!!

such a nice gtr btw. i along with everyone hear wants to see all 3 of them to be sent away for along time, but the law system sucks!!!.

as some one said earlier, ya get a higher sentence for hoon driving then murder now days,

tell what shits me the MOST about all this, there is all this scum going around amounting to ABSOLUTLY NOTHING yet how often do ya see everyday people die of cancer and shit, do everything possible to be good people but we get shitty luck, yet these SCUMBAGS just waste their lives!!!!!!!!,

anyhow, i am glad ya got ya car back mate

mate hope that they get what they deserve but the law system that dictator Rann has brought in for "car hoons" just make things worse. Those crims will prob get 14 -18months max but if you were caught doing a burnout/powerslide/driving without due control then you would have had a worse sentence. i know it sucks but just the way it is. Hopefully it all goes smoothly as well

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
