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!

    • 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 may e 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Dose anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
