I have had my turbos stolen from pacific pines on the gold coast

They are r33 N1 turbos with ported manifolds as well. I am offering a $200 dollar reward for these safe return. Please contact me on 0410665701 if you hear anything about them.

Im so disappointed as I was just about to put them onto my 30/26 for my 32

MM no insurance on these and I have been looking haven't found any for the price your talking about

Was enough for what I was wanting to do with my car. Since I am a single income with a house to pay off, wife a child to provide for , 700 may as well be 7000

I feel for you mate. My place broken into 2 months ago as well, took a bunch of car stuff that insurance wouldn't cover. Like you , pretty devastated about it, but what can you do. Will take a long time to get the coin for those things again

I rang my home insurer previously and listed all my valueable parts. They said if you have recipts and or photos of the listed items then that will be fine.

Tip always let you insurer know. They didn't charge me any extra.

Are you sure your contents insurance won't cover it?

Contents insurance will likely cover this.

Call your home and contents insurance provider and discuss it with them.

You will get covered for new replacement value, meaning you can buy a set of -9s with the money.

GL!

Dang dude, maybe should've said they were at home. While I know that's fraud, you'd have been fine :)

Yeah I should off

But my job requires me to have a squeaky clean record so I cant do that

Well My turbos turned up. I offered a reward and some one came through with the information for me.

I called the guy and work and told him he had till the end of today and I am going to the cops.

He freaked out and gave me back the turbos and he is also paying for the reward money that I had to shell out.

I told him he was lucky to retain ownership of his teeth as I have a big friend wishing to talk to him about his actions.

Chalk one up for the good guys

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
