As previously mentioned, doesn't matter where its parked or the protection of the car - if someone wants it then it will be taken.

Just yesterday I was told from my brother about cars (wrx + evos) broken into and stolen from secure car park in the city.

They came back from work to smashed glass, stolen laptop (and other equipment) and a missing car.

Yep ... "secure" indeed unfortunately doesn't stop them.

Again just hope for the best you get everything sorted mate!

If i recall there has been a few cars on here stolen from "secure" city/uni car parks.... Just so happens that CCTV footage never works... more then half of all other cameras are fake and the general public just don't give a f**k.

You think Joe blow walking in the car park is going to make a scene if they think someones car is begin jacked? They would be out of then quicker then the car is.

panels are inside ;> and my old garage door opener cost like 200+ bux to get fequency changed ;l

damn.

ive got a set of wheels you can borrow until you're back on your feet.

let me know.

Very gut wrenching seeing this. It's an unfortunate reality that for those of us with highly modified cars, they are worth more to theives in pieces than the work of art we've toiled to put together.

Sorry for your pain.

Get payout, buy car back for 3k, track car :)

It is already half stripped so some of the work has already been done for you.

Depends on the insurance. If they put it through the auction, no chance in hell that it will go for less than $5k. 99% it will end up at Skyline Spares.

Just an update -

the turbos are still in the engine.

So whats missing is

Meisters

Brembos

Front Mount

Whole interior

As far as we know now. Sam didn't have much time to look at the car

cops said turbos were gone :closedeyes: - and when I went to inspect in compound bonnet was upside down and tarp was strapped over most of the engine also wasn't in right state of mind :l....

to add to that list koyo rad also gawn

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
