DRF13 Stolen!

The very well known DRF13 owned and loved by Darren from Autoshop has been stolen at 5pm today 07/10/05.

The car was stolen in broad daylight by a man wearing a red hat who was seen getting into the vehicle and driving off.. Unfortunately the salesman thought this was Darren and only an hour later was it realised that it wasn't.

The car was parked on Ipswich Road outside the Autoshop car yard and was fully secured and had very limited fuel.

If you see the car driving along, report it to the police.

If you know something about this car being stolen or where it is and want to remain anonymous, please phone crime stoppers on 1800 333 000.

The right side is the same as the left side. The stickers are identical on both sides.

If you see it, just ring 3364 6464 which is the police communications number and advise them that you saw the car driving along "this road" at "this time" in "this direction" and the driver "looked like this".

I wasn't implying that you were colour blind, I was just advising that there is also a similiar car that Darren built with the same kit and stickers, but it's pink, just incase people think it's the same car but someones painted it.

yeah i was talking to the people that were there when it was recovered. out near kangaroo point or sumthing. its been stripped of alot of stuff though. the guys who stole it musn't have been to smart anyway. hope he's just happy to get it back, and there isnt too much damage. i also heard that it was in an undercover parking area or sumthing and the guys who stole it went out and when they got home the car was gone, the cops came and took it on them. lol and a few guys went and let the tyres down in there car so they couldnt drive off.

    • 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).
