Long time lurker I think I'm a first time poster
At 1:30 last night (19/04/2015) a pair of jackasses stole my pride and joy from Fairfield in Victoria

My Midnight Purple 1995 r33 GTR Vspec
REGO: UED 795
V/N No: 6T91MPV97S1WDR001
ENGINE No: RB26051133A
As you can imagine I am completely devastated (I freaking loved the car)
The car has been serviced and worked on by Racepace here in Vic since 2006 and was in amazing condition, the photos probably don't do it justice.
The Volk ce38n's had a little bit of gutter rash on them but more distinctively had a grove around the inside of one of the rims where a rock managed to get jammed between the caliper and the wheel.
Bellow is a list of parts that were on it
18 * 10.5 Volk CE 38n's on Bridgestone 285/30/18 RE55
3.5 inch Race Pace straight through exhaust
Apexii PowerFC Computer and controller
TEIN RS suspension and camber arms
Alcon brakes (6 pot front, 4 pot rear)
Garrett 2860r turbos
Koyo Radiator
and a bunch of other stuff like a new clutch, oil cooler and custom catch can, rear harness bar and front harnesses.
Forgive the pictures but I'm on my not on my computer typing this.

Yeah it was in a "secure" carpark, however earlier in the week someone broke into another car and stole a remote for the garage door.

The car had an old alarm and immobilizer however it had been stuffing up and sometimes not engaging. So I'm not sure if they managed to bypass it or if it just wasn't on.

The suspension was racepace modified. Come to think of it I may have the number for them somewhere, I'll have to go through my 10 years worth of receipts I have for the car :S

Thanks Guys don't like my chances of finding it in one piece :(

Figured I should put up the CCTV images of one of the jerks that was given to me from the apartment block.

They are also CE28ns not 38s should have proof read!

Sorry for the slow reply, I totally missed the thread coming back up.

After the pictures hit facebook we managed to get a name for the person who stole it. We passed this along to the police and they sent a patrol car to drive past the front of his house and that was about it, it took weeks of passing bits of information along to them till they finally raided a number of properties that he lived in.

They found a number of stolen cars but sadly not mine :( His trial is in a few months, I'm not even sure if they will even try to bust him for stealing my car along with the other three. Apparently he is suspected of stealing a fair few cars around the area in the last year.

Funny enough he was already on parole for stealing a Porsche to fund has Ice addiction a few years back.

The car hasn't been recovered and he isn't talking, why would he? He will be out in a few months and hell he got bloody married a few weeks ago in prison apparently.

    • 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/
