Last time ai rx7 series 6 went missing from there it turned up the next day in the same car park but different level.. might be of some assistance to you :blink:

Thanks been looking at all the levels at least once a day.

Does anybody know what a guy who stole a car would be doing? I mean would they be driving around or stipping it down? Do they usually take it to someone (wreckers) to be dismantaled in the shortest time?

i used to go to unsw, i always just park it on the streets, and always thought the area was pretty safe compared to usyd...

i remember back a few mths ago there was another r33gtst stolen from i think the unsw biomed carpark?

hope you'll find the car soon mate, will definitely keep an eye out for it, i guess it's not that hard to recognise you car...

mate, i know how u must feel :D

i went thru this 2x myself with my rx7.. 1st time.. yes it was found on a different level with minimal damage

it got done once again not too long ago... i drove it back FIRST time since the 1st incident (1st time in 6months?) and it was done agian. theres no way in the world id ever drive a nice car back to unsw

the thieves there drive up and down the carparks... around the streets looking for nice cars to take

this time.. they even put a crowbar on to my hks vmount intercooler... just smashed up a 2700 dollar IC out of spite.

i hope u do find her..

Could have taken it to a chop shop...

I might have a heads up for you...

R32 gtr white, in a backstreet of burwood..coming down burwood rd turn right one street before the lights that cross parramatta road..

White r32 Gtr with no front bar, 33 gtr rims look like they've been whacked on and a white wing...

Under a car cover...

Plates are ba somthing or rather...Black and white premiums...

Dont know...Could be of some use to you...

Sorry to hear about it bro..

f**k man i go this uni and which carpark was it ????? what time was it stolen?? which gates?

Mech Eng. Carpark. Along Barker Street, near the McDonalds and the BP. Closer to the UNSW rented dorms than not. I think it's Gate 6.

Level 5.

Hey everybody at UNSW that has had their (or a friend i can contact) car stolen. I'm going to admin at uni to ask for a explanation on why the uni security is so poor. We are paying secure car park rates with none of the security. Please PM me with your details..

I can't believe you removed your security system as it conflicted with your Turbo timer.. the mind boggles.

Agreed, i can't believe you did that either... if I were you I would remove the TURBO TIMER, NOT the security system!

Turbo timer is over-rated for street use, all is required is just a little bit sensible driving 1-2 minutes on approaching your final destination

then you do not need a turbo timer at all - I didn't - over 4 years of tuned 230rwkw R33 gtst ownership...

Yes i know, mistakes are made.

I was inefficient at getting the new alarm installed. The skyline wasn't my main focus anymore study was.

dont bother

when my fd was stolen.. i demanded them check the cameras at the exits.. those cameras arent there to check cars but for help points and are ONLY ever activated when some1 presses the button.

then i spoke to head of security at E-Spot and questioned him why the security was so f**ked and even demanded that they install cctv cameras in all the carparks. i was told it is financially unviable as u would need 2-3 cameras on each level and even just the car park behind the libray would need more than 20 cameras. then u need them all to record and have ppl monitor it. the uni is not prepared to spend the money on this. i myself am a unsw staff member (was a studnet there b4 too) and pay for a staff permit.. it is not secure parking that we are getting. its a service that unsw does not take any responsibilities for. i asked to speak to somebody higher up, was told to write a letter to head of Facilities or the Chancellor of the uni and he said that nothing will probably be done anyway even after that...

unsw now is only wanting to give out parking tickets, the security there do not give a flying f**k if ur car gets stolen.. they just want money from parking tickets. i now drive my dad's car to work and one day had to work til 5:30, i purchased a ticket $6 or so to park til 5:11. i rocked up at 5:35 to see the security guy writing out a $79 fine for overparking.

moral of the story.. unsw doesnt care if u get ur car stolen. maybe its the security there who walks up and down checking out where nice cars are and calling in their "mates" to steal the cars. i dont know but hell.. if u drive an import.. and go to unsw... catch a bus and train instead

oh.. and if u still want to do something, u can contact me on 0413 525 818 but im telling u, ive tried doing wat u want to do and i know they dont care

    • 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).
