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

    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
    • I wanted to try and preserve the front bumper as long as possible, they're not cheap and are made to order in Japan. Taking inspiration from my previous K11 Micra build where I made an undertray for the Impul bumper, I did the same for this BN Sports bumper but a little slimmed down.  This time round I only made a 'skid plate' (if that's the correct wording/term) for just the bumper surface area, the Micra version covered the gap like an undertray. Starting off with a sheet of mild steel approx. 0.9mm thick 4ft x 2ft in size. I traced around the bumper, cut it out and cleaned the edges. Luckily I was able to get two halves from one piece of metal In the video I installed it as is, but I've since then I've removed it to spray and add a rubber edging trim. The rubber trim is suitable for 1-2mm and it's a really nice tight fit. The bolts had to be loosened due to the plates being too tight against the bumper, the trim wouldn't push on I used some stainless M6 flat headed bolts for a flusher finish (rather than hex heads poking down), I believe this style fastener is used for furniture too incase you struggle to source some. The corner's are a little wider, but this may be an advantage incase I get close to bumping it  The front grill got some attention, finally getting round to repairing it. Upon removal one fixing pulled itself out of the plastic frame, one side is M8 that fixes inside of the frame, where as the other side is M5. Not knowing I could get replacements, I cut down an M8 bolt, threaded it inside the frame along with a decent amount of JB Weld.  The mesh was replaced to match the bumper. One hole on the bonnet/hood had to be drilled out to 8mm to accommodate the new stud, once the glue had set it could be refitted. I think the reason the grill was double meshed was to hide the horn/bonnet latch (which makes sense) but I much prefer it matching the bumper Bumper refitted and it's looking much better IMO The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVZP35io9MA
