People...keep an eye out for the following vehicles and or parts of them.

The yellow Tomei R34 drag car

the red R32 GTR that made 970hp at the wheels at final battle

the white Evo 9 that won circuit battle this year

a white evo 7

a silver bug eyed wrx

this is a serious loss of machinery and parts....all eyes and ears open to catch these thieving maggots.

yeah, i would say not much chance of seeing the tomei GTR rolling down oxford st any time soon. most likely already promised to someone in UAE. or middle east. sadly a lot of out stolen cars end up there.

I imagine the japanse owner wont be very happy. and sadly may discourage japanse tuners from sending big dollar special cars out here in the future :laugh:

I feel terribly for the owners of Bel. they are about to engulfed in the middle of a very uncomfortable spot. Poor guys. This sadly again highlights how crucial workshop security and surveilance and insurance is. It's also a coment on how poor our sydney society is that any of that stuff is even necessary.

I hope they recover them all.

YIKES! :wave: that is just as bad. terrible news. I thought they were just selling it for tomei.

Surely someone had some inside info that all these cars would be there at the one time. not just a random break in.

I think the cars will find their way to another country, probably the middle east somewhere.

You reckon?

I think they will be striped for parts and just the bodys destroyed.

Parts will either appear for fale in 6 months or on the peoples own cars etc.

:laugh:

poo stuff this

I remember on a Four Corners report shown a few months ago they reported most major (highly organised) car thief rings end up stripping the cars and shipping the parts over to the middle east.

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
