hows this ;)

i had my car parked at my girlfriends house and last sunday my car, along with 2 others was parked on the front lawn of a quite street on the Central Coast. when i came out in the morning, i came to find someone had smashed my drivers side rear quarter window and hit it twice with something hard like a base ball bat i.e. you can see where they missed hit it and hit the metal surround then again and hit the glass.

They stole my gran turismo 4 Prologue which i am pissed about but also and

(i know is my fault for leaving it there) but my digital video camera which only evidence of my old R31 GTS-X and my trip to England with car shows...i am slowly getting over the fact i lost this stuff but it still anoys me that people go around at night looking for stuff to steal....and to top it all off my top of the line alarm/imobiliser which i had installed only a few months before didn't even make a sound...and when i opened the car in the morning it didn't do its usual beeps, as its surposed to when the alarm has gone off ....arrrrgg :cheers:

sorry about his guys but had to vent my anger

heres a picture of the damaged window...

Yeah that is a pain.

My sisters boy friend stayed over just the other night and some prick came all the way up a private driveway smashed his rear, side, and front windows and drove off. No other cars were touched and nothing was stollen.....

They heard the hole thing but did not see the car... If they had woke me up at 5am when it happened I would have chased the F**kers in my own car and they would know they did something very very wrong...;)

an alarm is only as good as it has been installed...

I have had the same alarm in my car installed twice as the first time the guy who did it was sooo bad the car could have burnt down twice :cheers:.

That sucks. You should always test your alarm every now and then. Its not hard to do, depending on the sensors you have.

arm it for 30 secs+, open it with key in door without disarming, alarm should go off... test other sensors, say shock sensor, hit the top corner of your windscreen with a closed fist, or drop the windscreen wiper on it.

etc.. etc.. even a glass break sensor, get an old glass put it in a box inside the car armed, then smash it in the box...

Be thankful that they only took a camera and a game.

They could have taken the car.

Alarms aren't fool proof, and in public places most people prefer to ignore an alarm rather than turn their head in the direction that the noise is coming from, because it's easier to not get involved.

Take some responsibility here.... we're all aware of what goes on in the world we live in. You should never leave valuables in a car, ever.

A "quiet street" is a perfect place for Joe Criminal to go breaking into cars... there's less chance of being disturbed.

If they looked through the window and didn't see anything of interest, they would have moved onto the next car.

Chalk it up as a learning experience.

yeah thanks guys

i do take responsibilty for leaving the stuff on the back seat...funny thing i am normally really hard on me and gf on leaving stuff in site. and the one time i dont it gets flogged...damn this world...anyway yep my fault for leaving it there. It happened in Woy Woy...and well for all the coast people you know what that area's like...yes like blacktown by the sea....but anyway

window wasn't too much to fix...good when you know people in the bus...but as for camera and game..expensive loss but i am thankful i still had a car to come out to !!

yeah duncan now i can't compete in any more challenges....but i had fun killing it while it lasted...just have to wait till full version comes out...more people will have it then too so a bit more comptetion..

so i had an expensive learning experience ....so just a word to all you guys dont leave anything on the back seat or anywhere in sight.... makes me wonder on putting things like SAFC's etc on the dash...just a thought...

Sorry to hear about your loss, tough lesson to learn but you never ever ever leave anything even remotely desirable within view inside your car or you are asking for trouble.

Hope you find the bastards.

I'm never going to sit in my car again... It is bound to be broken into by countless females just trying to get to me...

bad luck mate! just to let you know i was pulled over the other night for accidental loss of traction, me bad, but got taken to the watch house due to a 7 years old charge of stealing put against me by an ex girlfriend, some cd's of all things, turned out to be a waste of the coppers time, thats another story, but when i got out of the car and locked it he's told me to take my bag, jacket even the remote for the front gate, he said never leave anyone an excuse to want to get into your car cause people are bastards..His words...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      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.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      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

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      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).
