Took my gf to casino for work this morning, returned home to Richmond at 7am. After going back to bed for 3 more lazy hours sleep...I awake to discover that in those 3 hours some a#*hole has tried to steal fuel from my car.

They damaged my fuel flap as a result of forcing open the flap with something probably resembling a key or screwdriver. Now I have a bent up fuel flap and scratched duco.

If anyone out there happens to have an R33 fuel flap in KH3 (black) paint lying around please let me know as my car now looks s*%t!!

I do not understand some pathetic human beings but one consolation did however come from this setback...there was no fuel in the car to steal.

cheers peoples

Damn i heard rumours of sh1t like this happening, but didnt really think people would actually do something so low. If they do it again to another car hopefully they slip and the screw driver goes towards their chest region, preferably their heart.

WTF who in their right mind takes the risk of being caught and beaten to what would resemble a human being just for some fuel?? save themselves what 60 bucks? jeeze fuel atm isnt THAT expensive! the punishment for stealing something should be being forced to eat it... steal fuel you drink 2 litres..steal money..eat 100 5 dollar notes etc etc lol that would teach them

are you sure their trying to steal fuel?

i know suburbs around perth they set the damn cars on fire!

Exactly what I was thinking. Are you sure they're not trying to mix some crap up in there in order to detonate your engine? Vandals are pretty sad.

Also, about making someone eat what they steal, what if they stole food? LoL

Well, you've posed a good question and I guess I'm a little naive in this department but what you're saying could be a possibility in some places but shit like that just does not happen in Richmond, especially where I'm located.

They could have attempted to put anything down the fuel pipe for all I know. I drove to work this morning...just a short trip but I guess I'll find out in time.

cheers

LoL.....I've heard Richmond is pretty bad.

My cuz lives there, apparently there are heaps of junkies in some housing comission flats that cause trouble, perhaps this is related to them?

Seriously, why would someone steal petrol from a car? LoL.

Regardlesss, I hope you find the people who've damaged car so that you can beat them to a pulp. :)

On today tonight about 5 weeks ago or something, they had a segment on junkies gettin high on petrol n runin around streets late at nite all high n causin trouble..

hmm.. idiots.. lol..

Yeah I saw that.....bloody idiots <_<

    • 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).
