is saw this just now. Yes was a 33 with a Gtr badge, but i counted a few other skylines, a black/Grey 33, possibly another one? One car in the background look partially stripped.

Was at broadview.

Hope a few people will now get their pride and joys back..

hope the f**kers dont get a light sentance either!

but thats good news some stolen cars have been found :yes:

itll be hard for the courts to slap someone on the wrist for 8 stolen vehicles.

if they do however, then it really does show how corrupt the system really is.

Just looking at the vid report again.. these are cars i could make out

series 1 r33 grey metallic (with silver/blue strut brace)

silver/gold r33 gtr? (might just be a gts-t with 400r kit and gtr spoiler + badge)

vp commodore (xbb-45?)

commodore ute with chromies in the tray

Damn, that house is literally under 3km from my place - far too close to home.

Let's hope they make examples out of these people.

But no doubt they have caught a very small fraction of the people actually involved.

I can't believe the cars were in such unstripped condition - why steal all those cars and just hang on to them? Maybe waiting for the heat on them to go down before rebirthing them interstate perhaps?

Thanks heaps for the video Howie - much appreciated!! I very much enjoyed the Asimo movie too - we were keen as to go see him/it, but my son came along on 1 Nov, which made it a bit difficult.

    • The question then becomes - was there any fluid coming from that hole before you did the rebuild ?    You may not have noticed, of course.   Depending on how you did the rebuild, the possibility has to be considered that somehow (cleaning ?)  fluid entered that hole and is now being 'forced'  out by small movements of the proportioning valve.   From the factory, there's actually a small rubber plug in that hole but with age and under-bonnet heat it's quite common for it to 'go missing'.  That rubber plug is designed to allow the venting process but also to prevent 'stuff' getting to the area (prevent corrosion, etc).   The plug is also not available as a spare part AFAIA. Personally I wouldn't race and buy a new master just yet but keep an eye on the area to see if the 'leak' continues.   If you're concerned about brake fluid damaging nearby paintwork, cable tie a piece of suitable absorbant material over the hole and remove/monitor occasionally.    Operation of the proportioning valve and the brake master itself won't be affected, but also keep an eye on brake fluid level, of course. In terms of a new master, the genuine part is getting expensive, unfortunately.  Amayama is showing AUD900+.   I was searching recently and there's an aftermarket part available from Japan made by 'Parts Assist': https://zenmarket.jp/en/yahoo.aspx?q=BNR32%2bBM50&p=1 Whether it's any good I have no idea, although in my experience Japanese aftermarket stuff is pretty good quality-wise.   The above site allows overseas buyers to purchase stuff more easily from Japan but there are fees and shipping costs, of course.   The original Japanese seller page is here: https://auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/p1197401228 Copper/Nickel is fine but I still prefer bundy tube and it's also cheaper.
