Hi guys,

I had my beautiful R34 GT-T stolen from Newington overnight. Silver coupe with dark tinted windows, spoiler and R34 GTR wheels - rego plate MWW-380. Car was parked on the street.

Had a neighbour say he heard the car start up around 10:30 - 11.30 last night, found out she was missing when i went to leave for work this morning at 9am

If anyone spots her or hears something, I'd love to hear from you!

Thanks guys,

Mick

Yes I'm absolutely shattered. Worst part is, that this was basically my dream/perfect car - it was exactly what I wanted. There's not that many RWD Turbo coupes in this price range that I can replace her with. If insurance comes through smoothly, my payout will still put me behind. It's like I'm back to square one!

I'll inquire about cctv, but I don't like my chances. I just can't believe that this happened in Newington.

When me and tats were living in blaxland ave newington, the flat next door to ours was broken into and our garage was broken into another night as well.

It's a fantastic area but unfortunately seems to being easy to plunder at the moment :(

Wow, that sucks mate..

I see you time to time on Hill road, when communiting to work (I work at Newington)

I'll keep my eyes opened. Hope it's found in one piece.

Suprised this happened in an area like that though.

Outsiders assume Newington ppl own nice things Dave.

Yeah we get thefts up here in the lower Mtns and often those who get caught are not locals.

Terry, there have been a lot of trailers going missing in the last 2 weeks from Winmalee, Springwood, Faulconbridge. At least 10 that I've heard about.

People are too trusting.

I'm trying not to stereotype, but apologies If anyone is offended.

Newington is 15 mins from Auburn, Villawood det centre, Silverwater gaol etc etc. It is an affluent area and still is, but there are also some not nice parts too.

Yeah, my landlord took me for a drive around the area to see if someone had just gone for a joyride/burnouts and then dumped it... Silverwater, Olympic Park, back of Rydalmere... there's lots of areas close by that have 'shady' characteristics.

As owning my own garage isn't really going to be viable for the next few years (regarding property) the next car ( :'( ) will definitely have some immobilizers/killswitches.

I'm still hoping it will turn up without damage, but at the same time i'm prepared to accept that she's headed to the middle east in bits and pieces. Not the way i wanted her to go!

Just keep an eye out for any parts for sale etc too... Sorry to hear its been taken mate, i would be on a war path if someone touched my 34 :domokun:

You're not stereotyping, you're presenting observations.

There's a difference between "all people from X are like Y" and "there is a higher occurrence of X type of people that happen to be from Y than area Z"

:P

    • 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).
