Hi All,

Didn't know where to post this(I'm sure admin will move it if needed)

This is a little desperate as we need to get to Phillip Island for the 7th so I thought I'd start here.

The trailer(without the car) was stolen from Gladesville at 12.30AM on the 12th. We had Security footage of a fat ugly c@#t with what looked to be a VT/VZ Commodore Wagon hooking up and driving off.
Below are pictures of the said trailer with the only difference being that it is now silver in colour with GIO livery. This is a one off custom made trailer so made with refrigeration wall's.

The trailer is a replaceable item however the 8 wheels which will only fit a Group A GMS R32 and are irreplaceable....these are the main things we are after.

Any help with recovering this would be great and a reward will be paid depending on what condition everything is in when we get it back.

So sorry to see this Craig.

If this has already been repainted, are there any other identifying markers that are easy to see?

Could there be other CCTV footage at that time within a 2Km radius of the theft? Clubs/Servos?

The only identifying marks are that its plastic refrigeration material......and the backdoor open's upwards.

How low are some people really :angry: :angry: :angry:

Will try and keep an extra eye out for the trailer and give you a hoy if see anything mate. That's all I can do (I guess).

Could be hard if it has been repainted but the photo does help.

Locked in to my brain now.

Surely this trailer will stick our like dogs balls at any motorsport event?

even after painting.

what are they going to do, leave it in the back yard?

also, CCTV good enough to get plate number on the commo?

One would think so Luke!

Maybe they were just hopeful that the car was left in the trailer, but then, what do you do with such a car that everyone knows and all the parts are bespoke?

Hopefully CCTV shows number plates.

Sorry to hear that Craig, it's been a rough suburb lately. Can't see you getting much out of gladesville station, all they did for us was write notes in their invisible notebooks then head back to the donut shop

That will just discourage Jetwreck even more. Despite the cruel world we live in there are some good people out there (including the police force) and should have some faith. Hopefully it will rerun and the wheels can be retrieved.

Was thinking the same thing about Gladesville station. Hence someone local did a be drive around for me through industrial last night.

Hey Ants,

I'm sure he won't mind me replying, the trailer was insured, however the wheels inside are not replaceable. They are GMS magnisium wheels to suit the GTRs. Can't buy any more for obvious reasons.

So the Car currently is sitting on their only set of 4, which for a race team, is a big PITA.

Please keep your eyes out :(

ahh that's pretty sure to be me, the stag has been sleeping outside because the ute is getting a full rebuild. mx-5 is my dirty boat loving neighbour's, not mine. Drop in for a beer sometime :)

the shame here is those wheels are totally unusable by anyone else in the world (unless terry knocked off the trailer :teehee:).

    • 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).
