looks like someone knows how you operate ,all those things in one night ,you would need some man power to pull this off or a local factory to move this stuff in to too much too quick .id be looking for freshly rented factories or places that have been vacated recently . i hope you get them,all ears in south west sydney.good luck.

To tell you the truth, a robbery in this scale. You sadly have to look at it from the thieves point of view.

They racked all this gear, you really think they're dumb enough to actually off load it to eBay? They're probably scrawling around various forums looking at posts, and basking in their definition of "glory" among the enthusiasts community.

1) Thieves - They will probably lock it into a container, and send it off oversea's.. and regarding the falcon and commodore parts.. i am 100% sure they will be able to offload the stock to some dodgy workshop as they usually do, and no one will know a thing.

2) Another workshop who did it - It will be business as usual, keeping the heat away, they will store the stolen gear, and then slowly sell it off one by one as customers come in, or sell ir to another workshop.

3) Car enthusiasts - They will probably use the parts in their own cars, and the rest give it away to mates and stuff. Or they will offload it on the black market, its word of mouth between groups / family / friends.

Now in regards to the cars that were stolen, they will either be numbered, or they will probably be ripped of their parts and sold individually. The cars could be containered aswell and sent off with the engines aswell. Or they could totally rip the engine out, drop it into another ride. So many possibilities, and sorry i dont want to be a burden on your problems, but you have to think realistically. The cops will only have a certain number of resources on the street, these guys seem to know what their doing. And they will know how to offload all this gear, they would take such a risk if they didnt have buyers already lined up, so no advertising will be needed, cos' its not like they sit at home one day and think oh yeah lets go rob a great workshop!

Steve i feel for you man, my dad is a panel beater / mechanic and his own personal collection of tools and what not was stolen a few years ago with no insurance, massive dent in the back pocket.

I hope you guys find these fuc*ers, and damn hell wish your stock etc was insured to a certain extent.

Sorry to dull everyones hopes down..

i kind of agree with you on this but this is GONE IN 60secs style and would take some major organising to pull it off.........

in regards to the cops not having people on the streets i dont exactly believe that as they have performance cars just like us....for instance out where i live they have a 450rwhp cop car that they built which happens to be an r32 GTR. its built from parts bought as a modifier and done that for a reason so they can get in on the action

car is custom sprayed rims etc

only way to tell its an undercover is by looking inside which i was lucky they let me.....all the radar gear is hidden under dash etc

anyway my condolences to JUST JAP

Wow Frosty that is the first time ive heard of that !

Crazy, i meant stuff like people in on the action black market gear floating around, not as in people literally on the streets. I know they have people who help out the cops with info that might trip on, but this will be tight, and only a select few will know about it.

Hopefully something slips up and doesnt goto plan and we get everything back, and some vigilante action then lock up for the rest of their purposeless life.

Very sorry to hear guys, I hope they catch those scum quick smart and recover everything before they have a chance to remove it from wherever it is stashed.

it was too well organised from what i see. breaking into both workshops, stealing those parts and getting a clean getaway doesnt happen like in the movies. a job that big and that well organised must have either been organised from someone within the business or a pro. the amount of detail and balls needed to pull something like that off is amazing that most wont even realise. from what i've read and know about the place you will need at least:

1. weeks of staking out the place for traffic for the right time - most businesses dont get deliveries on sundays but some will at least get traffic, they picked the perfect time by the sounds of it.

2. a truck OR a workshop close by and a couple of utes (moving + storing the stuff will be shit) + 5 boys - if it was me doing the job i'd get the least amount of people involved as possible, too many useful/wanted parts to let too many people know of, which sucks for you guys. if it was a workshop close by i'd be looking for workshops that were closed today.

3. knowledge of your operations - this is huge. anyone getting in and out efficiently knew how you guys run which is why i'd be looking at someone who either works or worked there.

sorry if this seems rash on my part but anything you guys can think of that is suspicious will help the investigating officers and keep them working because once they run out of leads - thats it, investigation over.

      Dragging some reo behind a ute or trailer will smooth out a dirt road, I've used reo a few times to do unsealed road maintenance when we didn't have any plant available  It's best done when the dirt is wet though, and then you just let it dry out for a day to harden up For wetting the dirt I've used some 44 gal drums in a ute or trailer, and a water pump connected to a hose with a old sprinkler tied to the reo to wet the material down whilst spreading Basically just drive slowly up and down the road a few times dragging a few sheets of reo wired together with the sprinkler wetting it all down as you go

      I did a motokhana years ago with ??Sydney Sporting Car Club???, it was on a grassy paddock and was heaps of fun, I think it was north west Sydney IIRC The old R33 boat was covered in grass and dirt, but nothing that a good wash and detail didn't fix And thinking back, when SAU did the airstrip run in Goulburn years ago, where the old 33 won highest RWD MPH, the quickest RWD ET on the airstrip, and best paint IIRC (before the runs down the airstrip) the damage to the rear quarters from stones flicking up required them the get a respray  I would definitely do a grass motokhana again in the MX5 Who knows someone that owns a farm with a big empty paddock  Liability these days is a big issue though

      No intention of driving the car the way it's set up now, just wanting to make sure I haven't made any mistakes along the way so that the tune can go smoothly, I don't want to waste anyone's time with stupid issues. And of course I intend to get it towed to the dyno in a completed state 😅 I have the base fuel pressure with the vacuum disconnected set at about 40psi, which I believe is at least relatively close to stock fuel pressure, maybe I'll have a fiddle with the reg and see what happens. For all I know I could be wasting my time with this and I should just plumb it in and see what the tuner reckons. I just find it a bit strange that it seems to be under so much load just free revving, but maybe that's just a result of the turbo slowing down the exhaust gasses and making a restriction in the flow, with no boost to compensate.

      The boy just hit up google translate and it worked a treat, he said step one was "please urinate with precision and elegance", he then sent me the correct translation  I get some new loctite for the small fixtures tomorrow and get some "dort" going after that 🤣

      Right, so is the fuel pressure the same as it was previously? If not, well, it's not going to work well. I can understand the theory I assume you are going for, which is: "Run it N/A, and if I have the original AFM, and same amount of fuel and intake air as previously, the fact there's a turbo in my exhaust should still make it run" Which it... might? Provided you don't actually change how much air or fuel is going into the car.. or getting out. But if you have changed that, all bets are off. What is the purpose to even have the car run this way? To get it to a tuner? And if the goal is to limp it to a tuner, you're still going to what - plumb up a whole intercooler system and new intake in the parking lot out front before your tune......?
