Ok posting this up for my mate.

On the 9th of may APM radiators was broken into. Thieves went through the customers cars and stole various items.

One of the main items was a brand new garret gt35R with a 0.82 rear housing which they opened the bonnet of a soarer, unbolted and stole. We are getting the serial number currently before anyone asks. The car it was stolen off is Benny c's soarer for those of you who know him.

If anyone has any information or sees a gt35r for sale please contact apm radiators on 83846056 or PM me on here and I will pass all details on

Cheers

James

UPDATE:

Stole tools, stereo, afc, rsm, even the harnesses!

They spent a fair bit of time on the car as they undid the manifold aswell to the head! and took that and the wastegate, so if you hear of a 1jz turbo kit with ebay spec manifold, wastegate and gt35r also would like to know!

Theres over 6k worth of things were taken from the soarer alone.

Any help would be much appreciated.

So let me get this right.......This joint does not have any form of security?? Like i means seriously they popped the bonnet and got the right socket size/spanners and unbolted the turbo and took off with it as well as a few other things they had time to steal?? Or did the alarms go crazy but it took chubbs waaaaay too long to get there??

Good luck getting the bits back and finding them!!

Probably doing a very slow patrol around maccas at the time

was outside the workshop due to space and its our mates workshop. never had a problem before as even my supra was there for 13 months unlocked outside and everything. would have taken them over an hour at best case to get the manifold off. and usually theres cars atleast every 5 mins on the road its on aswell all through the night! So someones got to have seen something. and insurance doesnt cover it.

They got into the car, where his tools were and used them to get more shit off the engine.

they are f**king scum.

all the parts are traceable so if u hear anyone getting any of this stuff let me know please :D

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
