They found it today everyone! out in West Croyden with a bunch on clothing, cigarettes,USB, Holden jacket (typical) and sunglasses in it. With apparently no cosmetic damage apart from broken window and ruined ignition barrel. But I will get to see it tomorrow after TAFE,

Thank you everyone for your help! and would be keen on one of those GPS trackers! :)

It apparently was used in multiple high speed pursuits over the weekend, so I am mechanically worried and about possible damage. Is there anything I should specifically look for when i go examine it for any damage?

Great news man!

I'd probably do a service and take it for a long drive, you should be able to notice anything sinister through that, might pay to plug her in to a computer and just check the error log.

Good to see you got it back dude!

First things first. Check all suspension arms en a wheel alignment. If they were driving it like its stolen they wouldn't care about gutters and they probs got some air on it lol

Oil change for sure just to be safe :)

Glad to hear Josh. The little so & so's need their hands broken with a 4lb copper hammer! As everyone else said about checkin it out. Get it up on a hoist, full service, wheel alignment (It sucks that insurers won't cover tyres!), if there is gutter rash as Hugh stated, make sure every rim spins true! Definately up for the trackers. PM sent.

Currently at Jaustech being completely Sussed out. Went and had a look last week, was pretty pissed off after looking at it.

Drivers door needs replacing, clutch is gone, some scratches, plastic dash fascia missing in most places. Inside mirrors ripped off, center console snapped, head unit fascia cracked, ash tray broken, glove box broken, cigarette burns. Extremely filthy....

Will be at least a couple weeks until I get her back.

    • 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).
