So since I live in Brissy now and mum was on holidays a bunch of entrepreneurs had obviously cased out my house for a five finger discount.

They must've been purely opportunistic as they only stole from the garage and didn't break into the actual house.

Items missing:

17" Work VS-XX

Custom wider outer bands for VS-XX rims

Rolling toolbox and an assortment of Wurth tools

Lawnmower

US Audio home entertainment system

GMC Bench saw

Fruit n vege trolley

I box full of audio cables

Seriously... whoever grabbed the stuff is a complete idiot... or a crackhead of some sort looking for a quick buck. I mean... who steals a frikken shopping basket trolley thing?

Not really pissed that the stuff's gone, cos insurance is giving me back more than the value of the items :blink: But if anyone comes across any 17" VS-XX's for sale around the dandenong area or surrounding burbs... or more obviously the custom machined bands, please let me know, I'd like to "talk" to the seller.

The wheels look like this...

0.92296200%201180172989_63.jpg

They were wrapped in factory work covers and had boxes with the "Work" logo on 3 of them.

yeah not pissed about the loss... more pissed that they upset my poor mum. Ah well... metal fence is gettin put up this week and I've just ordered an 8 point house alarm which will call me and 2 other people if someone tries to break in again.

Me and my mates just wanna find the amatures that took the stuff for shits n giggles.

And yeah I was stressed cos I thought they might have taken my light up panel, but its still there. The rest of the gear is all replaceable.

the rims were 7" +22 all around. the bands were machined up to make them 10.5" -22 at the back and 9.5" -10 in the front. I doubt they'd have put them on the wheels though.

      Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.

      Wiring high beams in IC7 for R32 GTR

      By BourneToLive · Posted

      Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know.

      RB30DET timing belt tensioner relocation query

      By zigrb30 · Posted

      G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.

      Smoothline aka Matthew stone

      By DanielStone · Posted

      Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
