glad they found these assholes.

also my tips are;

back to base alarms are a waste unless they are GSM based with backup battery. (still can be blocked)

dvr systems are a waste if there arent secured and out of sight with a backup battery.

Wow what an emotional roller coaster ride I just read all the posts. It was like an episode of automotive days of our lives.

That is great news about getting some of the gear back. Good luck in finding the rest.

I was just told on another forum that there is a burnt out yellow Lancer at Yagoona train station. It's been partially stripped. The person who saw it didn't know whether or not it was an Evo. Could be worth letting the Police know?

Thanks for the heads up mate, great work.

That was our car, it has just been confirmed by Police.

Sadly the car is completely burnt out.

That really sucks that this has what's come of the Evo - it seems as though because the dodgy oxygen-wasters couldn't keep the car for themselves, they chose to torch it, instead of maybe WORKING and EARNING what they deserve like 99% of the community...

These b*stards only look out for number one and obviously have no respect for anyone else. Clearly, once they've been caught, nothing that they could repay to the community has actually been earned anyway, so to at least offset us innocents having to pay for their b*stard acts through higher insurance premiums and taxpayer dollars spent on policing our communities there should be much harsher punishments for car theft - give 'em 1000 hours severe community service for one thing. Get them cleaning hypodermics off the beaches, or maybe cleaning the toilets at Redfern station - by licking them clean. Forget about nannying political correctness when it comes to corrective treatment of these thugs - they know exactly what they're doing and they should pay the frigging price.

Sorry to hear about the initial robbery guys, then extremely happy to hear that you guys got most your stuff back, then saddened again that the evo got torched :)

This thread sure has been a down up down experience!

:cool: DO YOU HAVE ANY PICS OF THE BURNED EVO BY ANY CHANCE :( SORRY TOO HEAR ABOUT THE TORCHED EVO HOPES THOSE GUYS PAY FOR WHAT THEY DID :P

nothing suss at all :S

^ Dont suggest that! lol

Ive heard more than the items stolen from your warehouse.. I dont know how realistic it is but ive heard the people involved were selling parts in their back yard at very cheap prices and several cars had been recovered which had gone "missing"

Any truth to this?

Random question & comment: Are you guys going to consider holding less stock on site or beefing up the security? You've got quite a honeypot there...

To look at it a different way, imagine all your stock is cash and then think about how much security you'd want in place to protect it.

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
