Can't get victim of crime as its basically only for like bodily harm etc, can ask to seek compensation though from the alleged to get things fixed etc do just have to wait until the cops give me a call to come get it I guess

A lot of you may remember years ago when the laws first changed from an automatic theft charge to an illegal use charge (much softer penalty, if any).

...and it's all because some smart arsed lawyer set a precedent in place by successfully defending some little thieving prick by convincing the judge that he merely 'borrowed the car' and had full intention of returning it.....what a load of cock!!

That does indeed suck, but I wonder if a decent lawyer can't prove that he wasnt intending to give it back, since it was already stripped... in that case it may open up a precedent that it is in fact a crime, and the psychological trauma of having ones pride and joy violated (not to mention the inconvenience) wouldn't warrant compensation? Granted it'd be a very very low compensation but still something is better than nothing - and compensation lawyers generally work for any case even if it gets rejected, as the crown pays their expenses for compensation claims (even if they represent you and you lose, they get paid)

-D

I can only speak for myself but what ever parts you get back I'm sure a few of us will be willing to come lend a hand helping you put shit back together and have a chin wag

+1 yeah if theres anything I have that can be used, I'll help out...

God there is some scum in this world. I wonder if he’s behind any more of the cars going missing around town? Good news you got it back though, hopefully it’s not too painful getting it running again.

Regarding the compliance plate, does that write the vehicle off or do SAPOL just not worry about that (I'm hoping they dont)? Just when mine was stolen a few weeks ago I had to check compliance plate and sticker straight away and if it’s ripped off then its voided (just what I told).

Good news on getting it back. my guess is that the cops only found it because they were raiding the house for drugs.

unfortunately my 32 GTR is still missing since Oct 6th :(

Who are theas guys http://www.rtsengineering.com.au/ are they good know there shit? i have a veilside/endlessR 32 GTR that i might try and get on the road?

:whistling: haha yeah its a pretty cool sig tho

how the fk could a lawyer argue that someone stole something with the intention of returning it??? Its clearly stealing cars, stripping and re-birthing.

Only if their services have been engaged as a result of a successful application to the government for Legal Aid. The legal services commission do have their own lawyers, but under certain scenarios I believe they can engage a private firm to act on their behalf. Legal Aid only gets involved if they believe you case has serious merit.

Simple....they even gave it a name...It's called a "Joyride"....therefore (according to existing law) it's not technically theft.

As I said earlier, this is a different case because parts were stripped off the vehicle and it wasn't abandoned.

Do what does it mean I can do?

If its the original Japanese Vin plate (The one with your original japanese vin BNR32-****** and other fine details) thats going to be hard to get a hold of. Hopefuly they can search for it if it was not thrown away but i work for Nissan and have never been asked for one and hope i never do hahahaha. It would just be so difficult to get ask someone where to order it from.

What types of security did your car have without going into fine deatils and specs over forums? (i.e. immobiliser ect ect)

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
