Sorry to hear mate.

Broad daylight... Sigh...

Tip: Park with your steering wheel turned? (not straight)

So if they didn't have access to the wheel, it'd be really hard to get it on the flat bed.

thats not gonna stop the winch on a flat bed unfortunately

Not a random act, this was a planned job, just so brazen and risky!, the scums must of really wanted it.

My guess is that it's not too far away from were it was stolen, seeing that there was a tow truck involved its probably sitting in some local factory or workshop. (at the moment)

sucks man ill keep an eye out but it would be long gone now unfortunately

turning the wheels full lock does nothing

and its easier if the handbrake etc is on as you drag it onto the flat bed

the only thing that protects your car from being stolen unfortunately is full comp

no other protection will suffice, unless its a 200k lambo or something rare and spastic with satelite tracking

All you need to do it drive it to a shipping container and move that :(

As said, probably a local place in airport west, keilor or similar.

If you been parking it in the westie's carpark semi-often. It wont take the crooks long to work that out unfortunately, they patrol carparks etc.

I never go to the same places @ the same times if im driving the GTR. Too many dodgy f**ks around.

i wish i had a gps tracker in it now. unfortunately i work there and park there all the time but my roster changes all the time so its a bit suspicous for them to know i was working that day because i dont work many weekends.

Could of just been random maybe they were just driving around carparks to find something worth taking.

It sucks tho.. pricks.. if they don't find it what will be your next car?

dunno i havnt really thought about it. i dont even know how much its insured for all i know is its market value i think.

    • 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
