Wow, sorry :(

Thanks, it's so hard seeing your car disappear from you one night in mint condition .. then 5 days later end up with pictures like this :(

..and to think i used to worry about parking the car and getting the doors dinged by randoms... laugh.gif

Im Sorry to hear about ya ride ...

With the amount of Imports that have been stolen lately, maybe someone should make a "SA Stolen Car Thread".

Friggn Thieves Piss Me Off.

Its ridiculous how many imports have been stolen and tortured in the last couple of months. f**king crazy. Now i wonder if the cops are really doing their jobs. Stop f**king defecting cars and catch these f**kers arrrrgh

I agree with Mad-az.

So true, insult to injury.

But tbh there has to be a small niche targeting Imports - anything that helps to either catch or detour may help.

At the end of the day if they want it they will get it. But god-damn im sure it would throw a spotlight either way on what IS happening.

The fuel pump relay is a nice idea in theory, but in reality, any car thief worth his salt knows that trick and will likely carry a couple assorted relays with him.

Same with re-setting the 'park wire' in an auto, if they're capable of defeating an alarm and hot wiring a car, they're capable of sorting that out.

An extra physical deterrent will work better, a big f**k off club lock, a detachable boss kit with a locking hub, shit like that. While both of those can be defeated (a club lock very easily with the right tools), it adds a lot of extra time and difficulty. On top of that there's the fun things like piezo electric sirens in the cabin belting out enough noise to rival a jet on take off... And while that too may be defeated, at the very least it'll f**k up their hearing pretty good, and pretty damn quickly.

^^ out of curiousity about those sirens

would you be in any trouble if someone were to get hurt from that while breaking into your car?

as in, in the same way you can be blamed for someone breaking into your propery then hurting themselves on something

would suck if that were possibile, the wankers would totally deserve it

Surely a good car theif would wear ear plugs during the time the alarm is likely to go off too :/

Nah, cause they have the option of running away. If they don't, they're putting themselves in harms way.

-D

You'd be surprised.

The pitch and the noise will do a pretty good job of overpowering off the shelf ear plugs anyway.

    • 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
