REWARD $10000. 4xR32 GTR's MISSING OVER THE LONG WEEKEND.


Recommended Posts

THIS IS NO JOKE! THE REWARD IS GENUINE!

My partner and I had 6x1990 R32 GTR's stolen over the long weekend from Glebe. The police already have found 2 of them and there are still 4 missing. We have searched the adjoining suburbs as much as we have possibly could. I would appreciate anyone's help if they have heard anything or seen anything etc... The cars only landed in Australia 10 days ago and were at the quarintine recomended cleaners. Somehow over the long weekend they broke in and actually had to jump start these cars and drove them through a wired fence to escape. they also had not a lot of fuel either. We are not too sure about how they took all 6 in one hit or they kept coming back etc.. This is a big loss to me and my partner as the cleaners involved have no insurance and wont claim responsibility. My solicitor will be involved in that shortly. We need to recover the cars as you can imagine the money thats involved. The cars that are missing are:

1. Midnight Blue/Purple R32 GTR

2. White R32 GTR

3. 2x Gunmetal Grey R32 GTR's

They all have standard R32 GTR wheels and have exhaust systems etc... The midnight blue/purple car has been used in some theft/break in enter's over the weekend as I have been told by police. Apparently they are using stolen number plates as well. If you see one check if it has a rego label etc... I dont know what else to say as I am so devistated and have been driving around all night trying to find any of the cars. Another way of maybe recognising the cars is they drove straight through the wire fence and there are the possibility of scratches over the bonnet and roof and the side of the car. The 2 that were found had scratches in those areas. Any help would be much appreciated. My contact no. is 0411870222 if you have any information. Any help will be much appreciated.

mate, that is every car importers worst nightmare. I'm hoping everything will turn out ok. I will certainly keep my eyes open for you mate.

Best of luck.

Hobbs bros aye????

I had my car cleaned for quarantine here and to lock the car up, they basically put my car between 2 shipping containers ( left and right of the car) and a wall, basically they blocked it in with another container from the front....

Was the gtr's locked up the same way?

Sorry to hear the loss.... If they broke through the fence with those cars that they found, the other cars probably will have less scratches, as it sounds like the GTR's recovered have probably been the ones to get through the fence first

there dump enough to be using a gtr to rob places so maybe they will stuff up and be dumb enough to get caught.. i cant believe how hard this could be for you! i imported and was freaking over one car! and it was only there for a few nights.. good luck with it.. hope to hear some good news!

    • Well, the trouble with that ^^ is: The configuration shown is absolutely a 1-way, not a 1.5-way. There is no way that a 1.5-way can be said to offer LSD action only on acceleration. If Nismo cannot get that right, then it is impossible to believe their documentation. That ^ is not a 1.5 way setup. That is a 1-way.   And so now I have allowed all doubts to flourish and have gone back to look at the MotoIQ video. I originally made the mistake of believing him when he said "this is a 1.5-way" at the ~6:10 mark. Because what he did was take the gear assembly out of the 2-way opening and just rotate it one place to the left to drop it into the 1-way opening. When he dropped it in there, the cam was "backwards" compared to the correct orientation shown in all other photos of that config. The flat shold have been facing the 1° ramp side of the opening, not the 55° ramp side. And I thought, "gee that's cute", but I was concerned at the time, when he put the other ring back on, that the gap between the rings looked like it was wider then in the 2-way config. And then I said a lot of things in my long post on Tuesday that could only make sense if the guy from MotoIQ was correct about what he'd done. BUT... I have now done my homework. I grabbed a frame of the video with the 2-way config, and then grabbed another with the "1.5-way" config, snipped out the cam and opening of that frame and just pasted it direct on top of the 2-way config. I scaled it so that the triangular opening was almost exactly the same height in both. AND.... the gap between the plates is wider with the cam installed in the triangualr opening backwards. That is.... it cannot go together that way. There would be massive force on the plates all the time, if you could even reassemble it.  So, My statement on the matter? The Nismo diff is actually only a 2-way and 1-way. There is no 1.5-way option in it, regardless of what they say. Here's a photo of a real 1.5-way ramp opening from Cusco (along with the 1 way option). And the full set of 1 through 2 way options from their racing diff, which is not same-same as what we'd typically be using, but...the cams work the same. A little blurry, but it comes from this Cusco doc, which is quite helpful. AND.... Cusco do in fact do what I suggested would be sensible, which is to have rings that do 1 and 1.5, and 1.5 and 2. Separately.  
    • Welcome Adam. Car looks great!
    • "With a 1.5-WAY, the LSD is effective only during acceleration."
    • Well it wasn't as easy as I thought.... and it also wasn't in my original manual which I did end up finding. They discuss the process in the Nismo catalogue though and it requires slight machining. Page 145.  NISMO PARTS CATALOGUE 2020
    • I'm an idiot, my intercooler is rated for 1000hp. I had clicked on the wrong product. Knowing the delta P would be nice, but I'm doubtful I'll do it. Now as for an EMAP, that would be great and I'll get around to it eventually but from my findings in my last post, I'm considering a turbo swap now.
