I'd be checking out VL and Skyline related workshops in your local area. Check if the guys at the shopping centre saw any tow trucks coming in. Something as big as that MUST be on one of their cameras that monitor the front entrances etc.

Also, during compliance they would have taken down your engine code etc, grab all that coz it might be helpful in finding it.

Guys, I can't believe this is happening.

I'm so sorry to hear that the car was stolen, but even as a shell at least you have your baby back.

Just a few things that I suggest:

1. If parking on street, always park where there is foot traffic, and car traffic

2. If parking on street, choose a spot that is visible AND where a tow truck cannot get into

3. Try and spot the money for a car park - better ten bucks here and there rather than lose your car.

Regards are careful, people

id get my ass a crackin and find out if theres footage of that truck in the shoppin centre like someonelse has suggested. report ur engine and vin number as stolen too in the off chance that a skyline comes up in the classifieds with an rb26 implant it can be traced when rego'ed....thats if its still in the state:D

Your Motec would have had a serial number, the crunts that stole your gear knew your car and have access to a workshop/ tow truck.

This sort of thing is seriously fu{ked up.

Make sure you come see me for a paging alarm Steve, that way you can kill them yourself if they try it again.

I NEVER leave my car for longer than 1/2 an hour alone, and only in busy carparks during the day. If i go out i go with some one else or take the wifes lancer. Not worth the heart ache. I feel for you man good luck with the rebuild.

i regard people that steal cars as the lowest life form, there scum, i hope you find these people and they are charged and locked up because they dont deserve to be living with in the community.

Congrates you got the shell back and good luck to you in building your future monster.

As alot of people have said got down all the numbers your can engine numbers and others.

Also contact the shopping center sercuity, police and vic roads about it being stolen.

    • 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
