Hi all

Unfortunately some one broke into my garage and took my Blue Kincrome Toolbox and my Mint protools RO. The toolbox as quite a lot of tools in it. I think ive managed to squeeze it to its fill.

Completely spanner set in roll sleeve.

Completely imperial and metric socket set located on the top drawer in a red plastic moulding.

Lots of other tools, pliers, screw drivers etc.

If anyone sees these kicking around please infrom me via pm or phone 0403 568 217. Or if you are not comfortable contacting me feel free to call the police as a report has already been filed.

These item were taken from the Kensington area.

Spewing as I love my toolbox and I need to start from scratch again.

Really too bad about that. God I hate scum that do this. It's really crap that we work so hard for some low life to come along and cheat you.

Sorry for your loss.

Are there any bits you really urgently need? I might be able to look in my collection to see where I have duplicates. Noth'n special - crap really but might get you by.

In the Members' Subforum Dutch, there was a thread of Free Tools.

Nothing much is left over, but for what it's worth, there's a set of screwdrivers and one of those $35 plastic cased tool sets.

Contact me if you want them.

Kinchrome is great stuff. If some of them or other tools were pretty unique, or were marked with your Lic No., let me know (or in the Members' Section, let us know), and we'll keep a watch out.

Thanks alot guys. I take your offers to heart.

Its ok, I dont need anything desperately and i would only feel bad to take your duplicates. Except for if they are already up for grabs :)

Also its unfortunate that nothing has been marked. It will easily dissapear into the abyss.

Once again thank you for your kind offers.

Well, my dupes are actually more like triplet or quad (and not great - like Terry's friend's Cheap plastic case set). Just let me know cause I think I have the majority of a 3/8 socket set - at least the ones you need.

No problem at all, just taking up space cause I refuse to throw them away.

...and if you have "Home Contents Insurance", anything in the garage will be covered along with an "Event No" from the police + an inventory (at retail value).

An "Excess" would be deducted though.

Some basics are on their way tomorrow.

Don't know if you are a costco member but a while back they had these fantastic stainless boxes and drawers for unbeatable prices.

I'm kind of looking now cause I do need more space to properly store my tools. Will be going soon so I'll let you know if they have 'em.

Negative on the insurance claim. Its a shared garage due to being a apartment complex.

Its been safe for over a year haha. I still think its an inside job. Door wasnt broken or anything.

But the light at the end of the tunnel is, im a sparky so my tools can be claimed next financial year.

Im glad repco have good rep. I will definitely try them out.

Yeah, I don't mind the Repco tools either. The SCA ones, although passable, aren't nearly as good.

Sucks about your loss mate. If you need to do something in particular, I have a fairly well equipped home garage over on the Northern Beaches if you need to use a space or whatever. You bring the beer, and we're good.

Cheers,

Shazza

Repco tools also come with a lifetime warranty!

Most of my tools are repco branded. The worse I've done is put a very minor bend in one of the extension bars of my socket set... And I may or may not have had a 2metre piece of pipe on it to do so...

    • 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).
