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

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
