well some dickhead/s decided to take my beige R31 skyline wagon today, which totally sux balls!!

was stolen sometime between 10 and 530 today from narrabundah. car is a shit beige GXE S1/2 Wagon with cut springs and some gay 15inch S13 mags. car is worth f**kall to me really but im more concerned with all the shit in the back. i had a big (1.5-2m) garage jack, a 3/8 drive sidcrome socket set, a ryobi cordless drill, 4x 4WD jack stands. and a white/clear plastic box full of all my drift spares that i was gonna use this weekend

anyway car also has a blown pioneer CD player in it, its ran out of rego a few days ago, and the rego plates are YER 59U, altho there were some spare plates in the too so they might have put those on.

anyway keep an eye out and if you see it or anything like it, call me asap

yeah not far from the college (my house). dont know if they hotwired it but it woulda only needed a screwdriver to start it.

previous owner had the car stolen and recovered, so i got it for next to nothing coz it was running rough. fixed it nice and cheap and has been going great. but i havent been driving it coz i got another daily/ tow car. so i been storing some shit in there and now its all gone.

i dont actually care about the car. if someone finds it with all the stuff in it, they can have the car as a reward

Badluck dude you shoulda shoved a steering wheel lock on it or something if its that easy to start.

brb looking for your car so i can have it as reward :D

Mark was saying there was a car burnt out on Laurel Camp Rd this morning (out from the Cotter) he can't remember what type of car, he remembers it was a 4 door but could have been a hatch, but did notice a hinged lid metal toolbox in back.

PS its still smoking, so only fresh.

where abouts is this laurel camp road exactly??

btw a box of gear was found in red hill near some tyre marks, so thats at least a bit of good news. still no luck with tools or the car tho

When my ex's car was stolen from the same area, we caught them down Jerrabomberra Ave near the dog club and greyhound track but on the other side of the road, there was a dirt road and paddock, and they'd taken the car down there.

I don't know if you looked there, but it might be worth a shot?

I guess it might be too late now though... if it was dumped somewhere you'd think the cops would have called you by now :woot:

well good news, today the cops found my car.

by the looks of it they drove to the next suburb, dumped the box of gear that my mate found. tried to do some burnouts, and failed, tyres still have about the same tread on them. and somehow crashed into a pole of some sort. not a huge hit. then took the car to an aged care home and parked it out the back in a carpark, took the stereo which didnt work (dumb flamin mongrels) and looked through the glove box and console to find nothing. and then left it.

they left all my stands and socket se, and cordless drill, and garage jack, and spare set of plates.

i think they musta been kids coz the seat was heaps far forward.

the hit wasnt too bad, bumper, filler panel, smashed head light, bent guard so it was rubbin on the tyre, bent radiator support. fan hitting on the shroud and radiator.

im not sure i could be f**ked fixing it, i might just wreck it. i need a spare gearbox for the drift car anyway.

so all in all a bloody great result, i didnt think id get the gear back. and thats all i really cared about

thanks to everyone for keeping an eye out for it.

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.   
    • I feel there must have been a FB/insta post and the weekend did not start well at all I hope everyone is all okay
    • Yeah, I guess its pretty easy to get to if this doesn't work. Just wait till next oil change and pull it out. I am going to have to do the oil pan gasket soon and thought I'd just replace it while I was there.  Thanks
    • All that matters is you're safe and you were able to type that post. Hopefully heaps of parts you can recover for the next shell.
