Everytime my cars in the driveway i take the battery out, 2 minute job. Plus i have the spare (tractor) tyre on the front so kinda puts ppl of stealing it. After seeing the RAA open the car with a piece of wire and a triangle shaped piece of wood, makes ya think how easy a skyline is to steal without an alarm - might just be 32's that are easy but yeh.

And yeh hope to hear everything is ok with your car. hopefully they cought whoever stole it and you find out who they are!.

Clutch has burnt out completely, and cannot transmit any power - it was slipping under power before, was already booked into Boost Worx. Thats probably why the car was dumped on Prospect Road, because the clutch failed completely. Apart from the broken window, not much damage. Little personal belongings gone, they took my old dash lights from the centre console worth about $1. They took my safety flare. Could have been heaps worse.

Thanks for keeping ya eyes out guys, and for your messages of support.

Everyone who doesnt have an immobiliser + alarm - please learn from my experience!

i told you that you would get her back mate!

Yes you did - what cross lotto numbers should i pick for this Sat night?

good to hear its been found hopefully no blown engine or diff

time to get an alarm me thinks

George from APS is on holidays as of last night - his wife has a bun in the oven which was due to arrive last night! My car will be locked in the garage with some fuses pulled until George is back to fit my alarm!

heard their was a high speed chase involving a skyline which got away in sa today didnt happen to be yours?

I heard a white nissan was in a chase, I didnt know for sure that it was a skyline. Mine was missing from Monday morning until Tuesday lunch time, not sure if thats in the time frame of the chase.

good to hear youve got her back.

wow - mate, 1st modification should always be an alarm.

search ebay if finances are lacking.

I got mine off ebay (1st purchase for the car), and had it installed asap along with a few other electrical items (boost controller, safc and alarm). Was $120 for wiring those 3 items up at Graham West Workshops (they outsource the electrician jobs, ring and ask who perhaps?).

Good to hear you got it back, you got away lucky too man, could have been heaps worse! Let this be a lesson to everyone! Oh and by the way, if you need a good alarm installer, PM me, got a good bloke who's done a few of my cars :thumbsup:

Alternatively, see the guys at GT Autosound. I had them install an alarm on my R33 just after I bought it (2 weeks after I bought it, wouldnt drive it till it was done) and they did a top job with great service.

I've got a lot of respect for George, Adelaide Pro Sound - so i'd like to stick with him. The car can stay locked in the garage until he comes back to work. But thanks for the tips re other trusted installers.

I've heard not so good stories first hand off people from there zip ties and stuff, bits missing from installs but i guess no one is perfect

hes too quick to bag what isn't his or what he doesn't understand, but that doesn't mean hes isn't PRO @ what he does know.

^^ lol yeah i was thinking that pity there isnt a button you can press that when u leave your car the clutch acts like its fried and slips everywhere so theif leaves car due to no power ... btw i know PFC will limit RPM but yeah

You could put a valve in the hydraulics and achieve that but in the long-term it probably wouldn't do your pressure plate any good.

hey good to see you have the car back

and very lucky that you havent done any mods on your car yet

Hooray you got your car back! :/

My clutch is slipping, i dont think ill change it for security purposes ;)

Get an alarm with all the bells and whistles now, no skimping out. You're lucky its only $1000 for the best alarm and not $15,000 for a new skyline.

- Patrick

windows arent to cheap are they,

as rekin said, spend 1000 bucks on this, dont go cheap, get an alarm with all black wiring, and many features, and dont get one thatll annoy you in the long run. It'll be the best peace of mind.

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
