Scum Of The Earth Caught On Camera Stealing Turbo From Jap Parts Plus Please Help.


Recommended Posts

Some real tossers out there, no respect.

Perhaps it might be worthwhile posting details on the turbo/manifold in case they try and sell it on.

If it doesn't end up turning up, perhaps we could organize a cruise to try and raise some funds for the poor guy? (assuming workshop insurance doesn't cover this loss)

Thats bull shit. f**kheads should be punished!! Hope you get those barstards. I've got an idea. Hand cuff them and bring them on the next cruise. Show them how much we like people like that :/. f**kheads! I'm an apprentice mechanic myself, so I know how hard it is to save up for things like that!

just an idea, would it be worth calling around workshops to let them know that someone has stolen the turbo and ask them to keep their eye out for it..

cos if they are smart, they wont sell it, and if they are lazy they might book their car in somewhere to get it fitted...

is this a possibility or am i being naieve?

Bit of an update I spoke to the guy in the car behind the ute as he remembered the car and he is part of the Silvia scene so he knows what he is talking about and he said the black stickers are Nismo ones on the front and rear panel but it also had a sticker off a Silvia forum on the QTR window so they are making it easier to find them, also they took a stock SR20 T25 with a new X-Force low mount manifold.

Lucy you are not being Naive we think they are that stupid they will try to sell it on a forum or get a workshop to fit it and knowing how quick the word is getting out that wont happen.

Tristian thanks for the idea as that alone is worth a lot but it is covered, it is comments like that which give him confidence people will look out for these tossers.

Their days are numbered they should stick to Mars Bars from K-Mart....

my eyes will be peeled as well.

Esp with the new info, easier to identify the guys car.

Camera will be in my car ready to snap the rego plate. =)

I don't live down Maddington way but keep an eye on local car washes and fools with stupid hats and pulling wikky wikky yo! finger gestures at you.

lol, just read some more posts about word getting around, they have no chance of selling or installing at a workshop and by the sounds of the manifold, if they somehow install it themselves, the car and manifold will be distinguishable enough to find it really easily

hhahaha, don't worry little apprentice dood, your getting this thing back very soon :D

where's the pics of them with the goods?

posting this is all well and good if you had evidence of them with the stolen property.

I feel sorry for the innocent guys in similar cars.

Got Rocket Scientist one on various cameras walking out the front door around the cars and over the fence with it then Rocket Scientist two left later, their is a lot of shots showing them walking out with the parts as per the one below but only wanted to post a few up.

Thanks for posting that pic...I can see him carrying something now.

I would love to post movies on You Tube but not possible so if I am very bored I will dump a whole load of still shots and make it into a shitty movie.

All of the support and comments is appreciated but remember not all badly dressed lanky guys driving two tone S13's with black stripes and NissanSilvia.com stickers on the rear qtr windows are the scum we are looking for just a certain one and his mate.

    • Agree with Rob. I recently did mine and replacing with a brand new unit made the most sense compared with rebuilding my existing gearbox.
    • Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.
    • I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.
    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
