Well it appears that my locked garage in my secure parking lot was broken into a few days ago to my behold this morning when I went down to get some of my tools out...

The nice people relieved me of my $1000 Shoe helmet, my king chrome socket and drive set, a stainless RB25 high mount manifold, some subs, and a Garrett 3076.... So now I'm absolutely devo! and who knows what else was taken... FFS!

But hey at least they left me with a couple of space savers, a set of supra wheels and the stock bits off my s15... oh and my CBR 250 and GSXR 600...

What can you do but laugh and hope it put food on the table for some crack family somewhere...

Very disappointing to hear this, It might be worth moving your bikes to another secure location for a period of time, just in case the dirtbags decide to return and finish the job. I bloody hate thieves :down: !

Thanks guys, yeah its pretty shit... Just got off the phone and the insurance does not cover the gear in the garage apparently... Although I have 5k of "car parts" listed on the insurance! I think a few more phone calls are in store for comminsure today I think...

I'm waiting for the Cops to come around to check it all out. So just locked everything up until they get here. But I am moving most of my stuff out today so I wish they would hurry up!

hahaha I have about 12 padlocks waiting to go through all the disks on the bikes, should make it interesting.

Alas all I want is my turbo and manifold back really!!

Ask about their disputes resolution process. All insurers are required by law to have one, you may see greater success using that than the person on the phone.

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There's one for sale at Grand Auto Wreckers in Lonsdale (SA), for .... let's suggest the sum they're asking for will make you cry. You may have to embrace the idea of modifying the rear subframe to accept some other diff. You could probably find a way to wangle a shortnose into there, with a custom rear adapter and some sort of shenanigans to relocate the front mounts. This has probably already been done by others, so there might be some guidance available as to how easy/impossible it is, out there in the googles. But you possibly needn't restrict yourself to Nissan diffs if you're going to contemplate that. There are similarish Toyota diffs, possibly some Euro ones, possibly some Seppo ones.

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      The ball joint taper and arm taper have to match angle and diameter, but just doing the bushes is a much better option.....seems like the industry moved to "it is cheaper to replace the whole arm than take on the labour for changing this bushes", glad the aftermarket supports it

      Gee she looks a bit rear heavy in that first pic! Sounds like a great project with the kids, but as I guess you know R series stuff is getting hard to find and pre that is pretty much impossible these days

      RB25 Drama's

      By Julsmadrid · Posted

      Thanks GTSboy. I will inspect the valves actually, is this something I can do while they are still in the head? The block/bores don’t look bad to be honest hey, I can still see the cross hatches in the bores and they still measure 86.5mm. I’m not sure how to measure the installed ring gaps but I will do that and take it to someone who can.

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

      By oxisau · Posted

      I’ve had the same headache with my lowered car, scissor jack first then floor jack every time. Ended up grabbing an extra-low profile aluminum jack (about 70mm entry height) and it finally slides under the lip without drama.
