Workshop Broken Into At Lonsdale Sa


Recommended Posts

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.

Just out of curiousty, was any of these customer parts covered by the shops insurance, have heard previous cases of this happening and the customer had to wear the cost of it.

Yes, it's a WISE/GOOD/COMMONSENSE IDEA to ask any workshop you use, to check if it cover's a client's car for fire, damage or theft!

Every Workshop I use (incl Powerplay Imp, Unique Auto Sports, Just Jap, Steve's Autobarn, Bavarian Engineering, Faulconbridge Automotive) for Nissan, BMW or Honda COVERS MY CAR!!!!!!

It saves me from heartache

It saves me from an Excess

It ensures my next year's insurance premium doesn't go north

    • I can believe it if you're getting air into the pickup. Cavitation is tremendously destructive for pumps.
    • I think the pic in the first post is another car, and post 7 is OP's car with standard arms and swaybar swaybar swaybar. I can't tell what brand the silver coilovers are, and even if I could I don't know whether the spring rate is OK, if you can find a brand on the shocks and numbers on the springs that might help. Also, if you can measure the ride height from centre of your wheel to the guard that will help with advice too as handling suffers if ride height is too low
    • sadly, pics no work. that car must have spent a lot of time in a cryo bubble
    • In the first photo you posted, the colour of the control arms are the signature colour for Ikeya. Same for the swaybar, signature colour for Whiteline.  I like Hardrace, they also do hardened rubber bushes if your car is mainly a street car.  I like GKTech as well, but they use a lot of rose joints in their stuff so might not be the best choice for everyone.  The system might have been good back in its day, but it's a prehistoric system now. I suspect that most people have removed the HICAS as they want the car to do what they want to do, not what the car wants to do. From what I also understand, it isn't consistent in it's behaviour on track so it's hard to trust the car/know where its absolute limits are for track use.  Having said that, I think the HICAS eliminator kit was the first thing I installed when I bought my car. I don't personally have any experience with the HICAS system on a race track.  
    • Thanks for the info. Didn’t know I had aftermarket control arms already? Will talk to my garage. What brand would u recommend if I want to play around with my camber more? I would think my camber is around stock level right now or more negative now due to lowering with coilovers. I will be lower her again 1.5 cm to get some more.    also why does everyone like to remove the hicas system? Is it because most don’t work properly anymore or ppl just don’t like them. Mine is functioning as it should be right now.    thanks for the good info
