It'll be in a shed/garage/workshop getting stripped for parts...It's gone

yeah thats my thought but they wont get anything valuable because it was stock plus it would be hard to sell the panels because of the rare colour.

sorry to hear dude will keep an eye out for it but to be honest i think you/we have a better chance of spotting the tow truck than your car so any details of the truck would be handy, i don't think he/she/they would risk driving around in something that stands out as much as a purple R

keep an eye out on ebay and such sites for parts etc

good luck

thanks everyone, cops called me back and said they have footage of the tow truck but the truck has no number plates so it looks like its gone im so devasted and im still at work till I finish at 5 : (

Tow truck indicates organisation of some description - it's not going to turn up abandoned. Really very sad. I would love to see these people lynched makes me sick.

Sorry, but yes, it looks as if it's gone.

We need to be extremely suss about any tow truck on the road without number plates eh?

I think GPS tracking is almost a better option than Having Insurance, seriously.

Plus its quite cheap now these days. all our work vehicles have them.

Most of the stress involved with having your vehicle stolen is not knowing where it is right?

The GPS can be hidden quite well in a car. may take the Thief almost a whole day before he finds it.

Haha yea I was thinking anyone would be stupid to steal my car cuz it stands put like dogs balls. Even in heavy traffic. But a mp3 r34 GTR would stick out as much if not more than mine. Guess they don't care anymore

Not even close to correct - they sell lead-lined blankets for $20 out of the USA .... they put your car on a truck, cover it with the blanket and it is gone .... or put it in a shipping container or sealed truck and they don't even need the blanket. I swear we should be allowed to elecrify our cars as a means of protection.

Very sad to hear about your loss .... simply devastating.

It really doesn't matter how much it stands out. By the time it's reported to the police or posted on a forum, anyone with even half a clue when it comes to stealing a car will have it parked out of sight well before anyone is looking for it

Can you get an image of the tow truck from the police? Yellow, Black etc etc?

I doubt it was the first time these knobs had done something like this. but that is not to say they are not the sharpest tools

in the shed and could well be using the same truck / be in a workshop / warehouse somewhere that someone on the forums

may see.

farkn hard luck though. there would have been a fare racket as they got the thing onto the tray, as it would have been dragging or they would have busted the window to drop

it into N and take the hand brake off.

* You still need insurance to cover the car you hit

* You still need insurance to cover your car that's been hit when special circumstances arise

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
