Oh that is ****ing weak!

I have seen your car before an will definatly keeping an eye out for it!

And if it is spotted like ceffo said the big black clubby is going to make an appearance

-I ****ing hate car thieving ****s.

Wish you the best of luck gettin it back in one piece and I shall tell me buddies who know the car from drift meets to keep an eye out

um guys... before you club the driver to death, just make sure that he isn't a 56 year old indian dude, coz that would be my dad driving my ceffy around. I sms'ed him and told him to be on the lookout for a car that looked like his with grey rims.

lol

what if the guy that stole it is a 55yo man? :rofl:

man im sorry to hear that man... i hope u get it back in one peice. Like everyone said its not as tho theyre common, they really didnt pick a car thats going to be easy to rebirth.

Bad luck dude. Can't help but think you were playing with fire by parking in the inner west with no insurance and no alarm. Glebe has one of the highest theft and break in rates in all of Sydney :rofl:

I live in Leichhardt, so I will keep my eyes peeled.

LW.

In the interest of research, and in an effort to help other people protect their cars from the same fate, I'd like to try and establish which security devices/systems were in place at the time it was stolen.

(I've been asking this question for a couple of months now, and for some reason have not yet received a single answer, which leaves me to believe that people leave their cars unlocked with the keys inside)

Please understand this has nothing to do with "you should have done this, you should have done that"..... It is simply to establish how far car theives are willing to go.

So far it has been established that there was no alarm, but which (if any) other security devices were in use?

Steering lock?

Door locks?

Immobiliser/kill switch?

BFD?

other?

I guess there is no "point of entry" information until the car (hopefully) has been recovered.

Well I can tell you what happened to mine, it was locked, they smashed the window (I found a tonnne of glass there) and then hammered the ignition barrel out (i found it on the ground the metal was broken)

3rd party property doesn't cover theft

..... it sure doesn't, but for a few extra bob he could have got fire & theft cover.

But seriously CEF 11E & this should apply to everyone else on the forum too, if your gonna drive a car that, part of the running cost is insurance. i know ill probably get flamed for this but oh well.

Get insurance!Don’t drive a car you cant afforded to run. or don’t whinge if it gets nicked and your not covered. (Although i note the CEF 11E's original post didn’t sound like a whinge more of a request for a look out)

thats my 2 cents

Your right you probably will get flamed.

Fire and theft is capped at $5000 in Vic and NSW, so by the time you claim it, pay the excess, loose your no claim and factor in the premium you've lose your NCB and got about $1000 in your hand if that. I think that's the stupidiest thing I've ever heard of.

Next, take me for example. I also own a cefiro and my car ain't insured - doesn't mean I want someone to take it does it? (which is what you're implying) and I can't actually get insurance for a cefiro. If you find me an insurance company that will insure me I'll definately consider it.

For interests sake I got a quote for a modified r32 and the premium was over $5k a year with an excess for theft being just under $3k. If I had an accident my fault with the car written off $7k. Not everyone can get insurance and in a lot of cases it doesn't make sense (unless you're a shareholder of the insurance company).

The thing that annoys me the most is you seem to think it's ok to take someone elses car. "That's what insurance is for". I say we wouldn't need insurance if these ****wits all died out.

I wouldn't agree with that. I don't think anyone has said its "OK".

However, "most of us" live in the real world and understand our cars are reasonably high theft risks and that there will always be some little sh!t wanting to steal someone else's property. If you drive a desirable car, but don't insure, don't have an alarm, and park in a very high risk area, it doesn't take a genious to work out what the end result might be. As I have already stated, Glebe has one of the highest theft and break in rates in Sydney. It also has a lot of public/government housing and a "youth problem", particularly among the local aboriginal community.

It sucks it happened -- having some take your property is just so low -- but some might say it was at least a foreseeable possibility.

Agreed in full to your post but it takes a ****wit to say it in someone's thread asking to keep an eye out for their stolen car.

My dad's ceffy is fully insured by Famous Cars insurance for $800 p/a and $1000 excess. They know what a ceffy is, as mine was the first to be insured by them, and I had to explain to them how an A32 is a maxima, but the A31 is a cefiro and so on.

ok yes insurance was going to cost me $3000 with an $1000 excess so over 3 years that more than the value of the car. it's a calculated risk.

The car was stolen from a under building carpark that cant be seen from the street. I did have an alarm but it was diconnected a week earlier. the car was locked with no other security devices.

if i get it back it will have a pitbull with sharpened teeth installed.

I want the car back and i am offering a $1000 incentive cash no questions asked reward.

Man i think i would just die in the ass if i walked down and found my line missing. I was spewwing when i found out some kids had scratched $5500 damage into it.

Best of luck, i'm pretty passive but if i see it da sh1t will hit the fan. Keep us informed

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • 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
