Got a call from the cops yesterday.looks like the car has been recovered. from what they said its not burned or crashed but im going to check the damage tonight.thanks for keep ing an eye out everyone. Once its fixed im gonna get insurance and move to a better area. Keep an eye on your rides, these c¥#@s are still out there

You are seriously farking lucky!

I'm sure there is some abuse there, but at least she's not toasted or bent. Get her fixed, get insurance, and get an alarm.

:)

Speaking of alarms ...

Ministry of Bass have a good selection of car alarms that they sell and install. Just upgraded my car security with them. They're more than happy to layby your goods. So if you want to get a bunch of audio gear and car alarm, you can pay it off and once you've paid enough for the alarm price, they'll happily fit the alarm while the rest of your audio install continues on layby. :)

Had a good chat with them on the weekend. A few horror stories about guys spending $4K on audio gear, and $0 for an alarm. And guess what? The car gets stolen. Alarms are cheap, protect yourself.

:blink:

In case anyone is still reading this topic the cops did a letter drop with a pack of stuff including a brochure with a guy taking his gf on a date on the back of bike (that really cheered me up)

but they did mention this:

Where apparently you can get an immobiliser fitted for around $200. I'm not sure of the quality, but its is a lot less than the $800 I have been quoted. Unfortunately I didn't have $800 the day I got my old removed (it was broken) hence why there was no security on my car.

Hope this helps!!

Edited by k speed

that seems very much like the ones strathfield used to do for $50 if you were a student (government used to pay the other $100), does the trick though

also good to hear you got you car back....mine is still out there somewhere lol

cheers Bengi

800 bucks for an immobiliser? Who quoted you that? I paid less for a full alarm system!, professionally installed.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • 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
