It'd be tricky.

Resale value of a modded car isn't all that much (though in the case of these extreme modded vehicles, I'm sure it'd be substantial). Think of how many people buy a car for 12K, spend 10K on it and sell it for about 13K.

It'll depend on the type of insurance, the maximum cover, wether owners can provide receipts, etc.

Still, if there is any justice, they'll end up sharing a cell with some 7ft crazy bastard with a butt hole fetish.

I fkn hate thieves.

thats why my GTR lives here in Adelaide, and I can safely drive it without fear of it going walk about due to some "fully sik GTR bro" taking it without my knowledge....

sadly sydney is just not a nice place to live anymore....

It not safe anywere these day just insurance is cheaper in different states :D we lived in adelaide and never left the car were we couldnt see it and we do it here aswell always in our view

theft can happen anywere and if someone wants your car bad enough they will take it no matter what you alarm/security system you have :(

I hope they get caught cause if they dont they will strike again :( and thats just f@#ked :)

even if the car is worth $100,000 odd dollars, you cant replace the time and genius used to build such a car with money, very unfortunant for all involved but im sure if they provide footage i.e pictures of the vechile's then i'd hope insurance will cover them. only problem there is you cant take photo's of the 30k bottom end internnaly :D

very tru. but the fact the "alarm" was disabled is the worst part.

at my old work they stole 4 cars and ram raided etc etc .

the cops couldnt find any solid evidance so.. they turned artound and blammed my boss and tryd to convict him of the thefts.

i hate thieves and i hate retarded fresh coppers straight from goulbourn.

shit like this gets sussed as insider jobs

a place that i used to work at got done over, one worker did some overtime and when the workshop was empty and there was only the service advisors in the front, he went around to every sensor etc and disconnected/covered em up so when the alarm was activated it couldnt detect movement

anyways he came and loaded up cars, toolboxes etc and our own tools couldnt be replaced 100% because we didnt lock em up in a storeroom, we got given a set limit $5000 to spend on tools when cleary many of us had shitloads more than that, i also had a gt35 turbo in my bottom draw that they wouldnt pay for!

sorry to everyone that has suffered, hope u get what is owed to u!

Its going to be tough for the cars that didn't have private insurance.

When this happened at Hybrid Artarmon a few years ago the business insurance didn't cover the cars as the keys were not in a locked cabinet, so my borther was able to claim the cost of the car on his insurance but no mods unless specified.

He then took legal action against Hybrid and was successful (a very long drawn out process). However when he tried to get any money out of them they had already closed up, I think the owner went overseas.

I have been going to BEL for years and have always trusted the people whom I speak too at the workshop and will continue to do so.

Good luck to all those involved.

Just saw something on the news where the police were breaking into some house in sydney, grabbing some middle eastern looking dudes.

Had the tv on mute so i cant offer much else other than the footage they were showing was of a black wrx with 20s in chrome, and a white wrx with 19s with gold wheels being loaded onto flat beds...

Wish i hadnt had it on mute and looked away at a sms at the time it was on >_<

Anyone else see it?

Hope they found some of the scumbags!

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
