Hi guys.. Woke up to go to work this morning only to look out the window to see that my car wasn't parked on the drive way(in my car port with 3 other cars) where I left it last night at 10:30..

Someone has stolen it between the hours of 1am and 6am this morning from Helensvale.. Please keep an eye out for it.

It's a 1997 S2 Dark Blue GTST, pretty much stock aside from an XForce 3.5" cannon exhaust. it has P1 Buddy racing rims (18")

Number Plates : 713 KXR

If you see it or hear anything about it please call the Police or myself on: 0449 009 943 - My name is Will

Whilst I was on the phone to my insurance company the lady i was speaking with said her collegue was on the phone to another person who had their skyline stolen this morning also from Southport.

I would not want to own a skyline down in the goldy at the moment.

that is the 5 th one i have heard in past 2 weeks. There MUST be some kind of op going on down there.

I will keep an eye out for it mate.

Good thing you were insured though, so many are not doing that. for the sake of a few hundred $$ you need to insure it.

God I miss my car.

Thanks 04SHOW for posting it on boost, much appreciated mate.

It's been 3 weeks now and I still haven't heard anything from the police.. Hope is well and truly fading.

A couple of weeks ago whilst the feeling of losing this was fresh in my head I was thinking of getting anything BUT a skyline after these thieves have totally put me off owning one, I looked through everything from an Rx-7,8, supra, silvia, 350z, wrx, evo.. and after a week of trying to convince myself to get something else I have decided to get a 34. Ha.

With some serious killswitch/alarm/immobilizer/gps/spotlights/baseball bat+one eye open at all times action to protect it.

I love skylines.

Thank you all for keeping an eye out.

This beautiful 34 is definitely something that can cheer me up.

Im trying to work out what that badge on the back right of the boot is, anyone?

Edited by Midnight Madness

your money mate. if you look hard enough you can find much cheaper 34s in the same or near condition.

i helped a mate get a 98 34 GT-T 146ks, 3k full 350z style leather interior, fmic,bov,boost t,volk racing 17',Full Kakimoto exhaust, always serviced by gavin woods. same owner for 6 years and just all around mint.

12k no shit. i know ks were a bit higher than what you are looking at but thats an example of whats possible.

good luck mate !

That's a GT-R badge on the back. Got a fake GT-R front end as well (which I actually have no problem with, just the badges.)

But as 045HOW said, if you're willing to wait a little there are some REAL cheap examples in great nick floating around. I paid $10.5k for my 34 with 140,000 on the clock. Teins with EDFC and a CES Racing turbo back exhaust were part o the package as well.

    • 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       
    • 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).
