Man sydneys becoming more americanised every damn day! arrghh australia is going down hill!!

surely the place they were being held at is insured and can compensate you in some way?

Damn mate, i remember you sent me some pics of those babies from the Japanese auctions. Really wish i could help you out but doubt they'd be anywhere near Canberra. Good luck getting the cars back, hope the people who took them are brought to justice too.

Hey... I think i called u last night... My GTR was ment to be @ hobbs Bros at the same time but something happened with the paper work so it is still @ the Docks(Thank God)... I nearly died when i heard what happened.... With all the people on this forum etc its only a matter of time till one of the low lifes slip up.... Do you think its still safe to goto Hobbs Bros? Will be spking to ppl i know n will let u know if i hear even the slightest thing. If you think u might know anything about it and you need some ppl from the syd area to help suss it out or get them back let me know

Cheers

James

Hobbs is a funny place, sometimes they remember to take the keys out but other times they didn't - for example, couple of weeks back a mate and I rocked up there to pick up his Ceffo but a R32 GTR blocked us. We saw the keys, started the car and moved it but no one questioned what we were doing...also their battery pack is highly visible so any opportunistic low lives could've been there, waiting for the right time, jump start it and drive it under their nose.

There's another place that could do this - ANJ (or is it ANK?) in Sydneham, right behind the station. Last time I've got one cleaned/vaccumed for $180 which is some $30 cheaper than Hobbs BUT it must be towed there, it is a fair hike to drive and by AQIS rules you aren't suppose to drive it anyway even to Hobbs. Cost me $60 to be towed from AAT to there and everyone's happy.

you should check out places that sell nissan parts.. any sort of jap wreckers etc.

and ask for any new stock.. eg. rb26's or R32GTR seats.. and just go snooping around.

although if they had half a brain they wouldnt sell any of the stolen parts for atleast 6 months.

I dont think that you could really track the parts. Anyone could say that they have a rb26 from their old gtr and sell it.... for all we know they could be stelling stuff on this forum...

Thanks for the support guys. Thanks Ben and James. Dont worry James your car is still there and by the way it looks really good. We did get our other cars cleaned by Hobbs Bros as they have taken a couple more security measures. I would still trust them in a way but make sure the cars are safe.

    • I usually source pressure on inlet manifold after throttle body
    • Where is the best location for boost pressure source when running mac 3port boost solenoid?  my new turbo does not have a fitting for that on the compressor housing.  how come Garrett make a turbo without that?  im confused 
    • From my memory, which isn't that great, we did have issues getting the large throttle body on my old LS1 to play nicely at idle, first it would stall, then it would only idle at 2k rpm, then it would hang at 2k rpm for a few seconds and then drop and stall, then, finally, the best we got was it would hang at 1.5k rpm for a few seconds then drop to around 800 rpm The tuner stated that large cable throttle bodies are a PITA, and if I wanted anything better than what we ended up with I would need a electronic throttle body and all of the aftermarket ECU stuff to run it
    • So, my intake arrived  I'm not happy with the coating finish so I went to Supercheap and got some black wrinkle paint and some prep stuff I was initially thinking about using grey wrinkle paint, but finding a quality product that gives the texture I want was "unfindable...", so the tried and tested black wrinkle paint is again finding its way into the engine bay for the OEM look I'll sneakily head into work and get the big ovens cranking to cure the paint over the next week or so I've also contacted MX5 Mania today to talk about the install and tune, so painting it is my "main effort" prior to sending the car off In other news, the correspondence from the US supplier is fair to midling to say the least, I'm still trying to track down the intake box thingie with the larger intake pipe to suit the throttle body, it still is "awaiting fulfilment" (no stock currently available), if it isn't here soon I'll just get MX5 Mania to fabricate up a CAI that is easy to service the air filter  
    • Thanks mate. I thought it would be that way.
