sorry to hear mate, was a feeling a bit strange when i read the title, i remember seeing your car at Roe Street CPP on the weekend as i parked there too

good to hear you've got it back mate better than nothing right?

hope insurance helps mate cheers

im sorry to here this but its the sad thruth that it happens all to often..my friends r8 ute was taken the same way recently and then used for ram raids around perth......i sleep with my f**kn keys....these days................im also thinking that a alam with the four pin code would b a great investment as then if they get ur keys they still cant start the car with the pin lock on....very sorry to hear again i hope u can get here back on the road mate...

suxxs nuts man, is it a write-off?? at least they didnt wreck those sex wheels.

i always sleep with my keys, have them in my top draw i also have a flip knife under my pillow, have had for years now!! gl stealing my keys!

hope it turns out good for you, just remember, dont except the first offer the insurance company gives you, theyll try and give u the least amount possible!

until recently i worked at both fowles and pickles auctions dealing with all insurance co's..so i would see an average of 20 new wrecked cars each day....i left that job to start my own smash repair company, so my advice is pretty accurate as i know how each insurance co thinks...i know their different repair/write off percentages etc, buy back rules etc..(apart from me "inspecting" every wrecked nice car in the yards ha ha..i bought wrecked s15 too...

anyway...

1. if thats not written off then i will be speechless.....rule of thumb is rear quarter panel damage = massive job to replace., thats without rear suspension etc...

2. who u insured with?

3. insured value? agreed value or market value?

4. where is car now? cannington compound?...cops have to do forensics/dna, then insurance assessor has a look..

and my neighbours camry was stolen 3 weeks ago from burglary too...(churchlands area).car found in cannington next day, no damage at all....obviously needs locks/keys changed (780 for just the parts without labour...car still not been worked on

by allianz repairer....allianz say no lock kits available (i called toyota and they are in stock) lying cuunts)...

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
