Well, someone is selling a R33 Rolling shell

doesnt need to run

just needs an interior and exterior to look desirable

would be happy to work on the project if parts can be sourced

-D

Well well,f**k me

please don't ask for more details as I'm still in the dark at the moment too,until I can get down there tomorrow after lunch,I won't know anymore than wat I'm going to say now

car is in the possession of sapol,it's sporting collision damage,interior damage( ignition,dash,my f**ken gtr seats...)

the chap I spoke to at he police compound said that were the flatbed tow truck dropped it,it ain't moving from there...

I'm sure you can put 2 and 2 together,and realize wat sort of state it's in

I won't know for certain till I go down tomorrow after the fingerprinting and investigation crap is done with

by Christ I really want to see my bus,but at the same time,I don't

hope you guys understand

guess I'll just update the thread again once I've seen it and have taken some new pics

at least it's partially over with now,the car isn't in the hands of a menace

and I've got no clue as to whether someone was busted for it or not,I'm guessing they smashed it then legged it

another sleepness night,bollocks...

goddamit

i hope the dmg is minor and that insurance covers it all

better than being burnt out tho im sure you'll agree

-D

fkn oath man

seriusly

how hard is it for sapol to buy 2-3 defected or track only imports

trick em up with bodykits, a gps tracker and start baiting these scumbags

cause

if they dont, i know that the public eventually will

and it wont be pretty

-D

why would they bother

1). As far as they are concerned, it's another import off the road.

2). The charge when caught in this country is merely possesion (slap on the wrist), not theft (we don't live in the US)

see i cant rationalize this internally

for 1) to be true, sapol would have to classify import owners as lesser beings than the filth that steal their cars

obviously this is false.

2) "charges in this country are illegal possession" only if there are no other charges to be laid regarding criminal behavior during possession of said vehicle. - if they end up killing someone, I can guarantee you that they will be facing more than illegal possession. same goes when there is photographic evidence of any other infractions

OK I see your argument that SAPOL has better things to do than to bait, but the arguments you presented are very easily blown out of the water

One would also argue that SAPOL has to be "seen" to be doing something, otherwise the public (aka disgruntled import owners) will eventually get their shit together, build a bait car and end up breaking the law (and possibly human rights charters) when apprehending any accused thieves. After all there is a limit to what a mob can legally do to suspected criminals, and that is why sapol frowns upom vigilante work - lack of a) trained restraint and b) executive oversight

-D

that's not the news i was hoping to read mate ;)

i've got the day off as i'm crook, but if you want someone to head down to the impound with you for moral support i'll gladly raise my hand

and on the note of baiting with cars - they have done it before. i remember my mate having to leave school early to pick his sister up from the cop shop back in the days of the magic mountain car park 'cos they had left an old commodore with the keys in the door lock. she thought it would be wise to jump in and they nabbed her as she reversed out of the space

Thanks guys,it's slightly comforting to read nice replies from a good bunch of lads

thanks mike and Lewis

I'll give you a ring mike after I've spoken to the police again as I'm not allowed to head down there till their done with it

maybe pick you up on the way thro if your feeling ok

thanks again guys

I still can't believe after all the times he got spotted floggling it around he never got pulled over. It's a shame that he crashed it before someone could get it back safely. Hope you can save some parts off of it and that insurance will treat you nicely. :P

Yeah it was me Jeff

just spoken to the guys at the police,still hasn't been printed and examined

wen I asked how she looks the fella said "yeah yeah not bad"

??????

Now Im really confused

thank god he didnt kill anyone.. Knowing some f**kwit killed someone in your car would be horrible to say the least. Hope all is ok with it, not to much damage. The engines probly going to be well and truely fuxed tho :P

When the dude was caught in my car he stole he got thrown in jail for a few years as he had been steeling cars for a few months and had a warrent out for his arrest, think this is why they'd do all that, just incase.. Could be a wanted murderer, who knows..

Also Mitch has the white 33 shell still i think...

    • 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
