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!

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
