Ahh so this is why Trevor told me you guy were closed Yesterday....

Im glad you got somewhere with some of the stuff that was taken, most importantly the cars and unique parts...they are one of a kind, stock is no biggie i guess (thats if its insured), that can be replaced.

Good work by the cops or whoever spotted the car...i hope it didnt get defected! (damn cops)...jk

You guys deserve to get everything back...and the idiots who did it deserve whats coming to them!

JJR lives on...

:thumbsup:

great news !!! well done NSW Police !

its funny how much we all hate the police for yellowing us all and trying to destroy the club community, yet they back us up when shit happens ...

i guess its a good thing to have cops on our side for once ! :thumbsup:

well done JJ , lets hope more good news is to come

Quite unfortunate how events like this unfold onto good people..

Glad the few cars and parts got recovered, definately good job done by the nsw police in such a short time frame. Hopefully some more good progress unfolds over the next few days.

How is this affecting current trading? I was planning a bulk buy tomorrow and now not sure if you guys are trading (investigations at the scene), me being from up North and leaving early next week...

Good luck

edit; news article... $2mil of stolen goods and granted bail!!! Obscene!

Well, as usual, I'm a little slow to notice the big threads.

Sorry that it happened Steve but bloody glad they caught the bottom-dweller. No doubt he wasn't on his own. With that much gear, how was he thinking he'd move it all?

Nice link MFP. :rofl:

Wow....

Haven't been on for two days and this all happens!!

Well sounds as if your on the rd to recovering if not all but at least the majority of the stock... Can't believe how stupid people are sometimes!!

Good luck guys in getting everything up and running again with minimal disruption and to locating the evo :rofl:

P.S +1 for hungry big tan and black dogs... German Shepards, Rotti's, Dobermans... whateva takes your fancy!

I too was thinking JJ need a couple of big angry dogs. But then i had this image of my next purchase coming with complimentary chew marks. :rofl:

i wonder how many scumbags were involved at the actual robbery. i'm guessing quite a few. its good to know thieves are dumb.

haha, they'll just make up some rubber 3 inch split bell-mouth dump pipes for the doggies to chew on :rofl:

Great to hear that most of the stuff stolen has been recovered and arrests made :rofl:

It's not hard to work out the name of the person charged from that list.

Well done to the NSW Police. :rofl:

We are getting back to normal now, thanks for the kind words mate.

Drop in whenever you are ready, and we will look after you.

Cheers,

Steve

- Apexi Power FC Bundle ER34 (2 Sets)

- Apexi Power FC Bundle R32/R33 GTR (2 Sets)

- Apexi Power FC Bundle RX7 FD3S

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
