Hey all,

As the topic title says, Nige from the FM104.7 breakfast crew bought himself a black Auto R32 Gtst some time ago with the intention of turning it into a drift car.

However his dream was cut down yesterday morning as the R32 was stolen while he was on air doing the show. :O

We all know how much people get attached to their Skylines (I know I am) so if anyone has any information or sees a black R32 Gtst with stock rims, Jax Quickfit and Federal Tyres stickers on it getting around Canberra or surrounds, make sure you contact myself and I will call Nige or contact the radio station immediatly.

P.S. If anyone sees a Black R32 Gtst for sale for cheap (or parts) please let myself or Nige know.

You can call the radio station on (02) 6242 1047

Pics to come...

I dont think it was taken from the radio station, he usually drives his Magna to work... I think it got taken from outside his house.

By the way the rego is - BEB 13G

Also if anyone knows of a cheap Manual R32 Gtst for sale please let me know. :O

Well... from Mick's post in the spotted thread, I realised I MAY have seen this car yesterday morning.

There were two males in the car. The driver had black hair about 6-7cm long which was either straight or slightly wavy, and stood up off his head (nearly like a fro, but they didn't look african american, looked more lebanese/similar - something with a fairer complexion). They both had a fairly dark tan or natural complexion, the passenger looked very similar, possibly shorter hair, or shaven head. Not much info ... hopefully helps though. Please note I hold no particular thoughts as to skin colour etc, just doing a 5h1tty job at describing what I saw... I hope these ppl are caught if it WAS indeed them.

I didn't catch any other detail as I was turning across the intersection and couldn't gawk while turning (plus, the car looked pretty 'plain-jain', so maybe I didn't pay too much attention, other than wondering if they'd seen me wave (twice)).

Great news!

This morning Nige called me to let me know that his Skyline has been recovered by ACT Police! :wub:

Apparently the idiot who stole it, took it to a wrecker (who had nothing to do with the theft) and asked him to strip the car so that he (the thief) could use the parts for his own R32 Gtst...

The wrecker thought that it was suspicious that someone would ask him to strip a perfectly good car and called the police, however he had already pulled nearly everything off or out of the car beforehand.

The thief has been aprehended and Nige will be reimbursed for any damages or loss.

Thanks to all who kept their ears to the ground and an eye out for this car, it is much appreciated! :(

Cheers :P

Mick

    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
