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.

    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • 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.
