No worries :happy:

To the original thread poster... may I ask why u didnt get the car towed? Surely u'd have known leaving a car like that on a road means bad news?

leaving an import on the road to springbrook is suicide

what the people take so we can keep an eye on classifieds?

no, wouldn't have done shit

would someone have come to stop them? would they have run away? would anyone care?

i have better deterrant devices avaliable to me now =)

man, if i was watching tv and i heard my car alarm going off outside i'd be going to have a look

car thieves aren't going to hang around a car in a suburb street for long with an alarm blaring

id never ever leave my car on the side of the road unattended for long peroids of time. If she breaks down on the highway, im sleeping in the back for the night.

+1 that and ill call my mates to come for a sleep-over lol..

so can we have a list of things stolen so we can all keep an eye out.?

yer, i would have organised a towey pronto

racq membership is good for something! (i also make them change my tyres)

lol.. thats crazy.. hehe

but dosn't it suck waiting 1/2 hour+ just to change a tire?!

have you actually done this? cause i would have loved to have seen the racq dudes face lol

I take it you are quite capable of doin it yourself?

lol if you get ultra care you can tow what ever you want for nuffing, lol i get them to tow at least 2 cars a month...... and then trye changes are good cos the do it like in 10 mins just gotta wait 1hr for them to get there lol

This didn't happen to be a dark blue R33?

Think I saw it Saturday morning on the way to Murwillumbah.. all smashed up.. and thought "ouch"

yep thats the one mate......wish ida had it insured or sumthin im so dissapointed police arnt doing anything

Well if the -poor guy would give details of what they took we may at least be able to keep an eye out for cheap said items.

DARK BLUE sparco steering wheel, gear knob hand brake, blitz sbc i color, drift exhuast tip,(left the rest of the exhuast on), hks ssqv, air induction pipe / pod , intercooler n piping, few other bits and pieces but they completly destroyed everything they touched......its gonn cost a hell of a lot to fix.....if its even fixable at all

no insurance and u left it on road all night. were u high?

lol again.. hehe.. i dont want to be mean, but, this shit has been happending around the world for along time, and here in oz, i feel very bad for what happened, but, if you have something nice that others want in this day and age you need to keep it safe. why do we think that most houses/business's have huge alarm systems and malls have secruity, if the option is there, some people will do anything and live in the now to steal it.. just like leaving money sitting on the ground.. loox like we learn from our lessions though!!...:)

i get my girlfriend to park behind me so she parks me in every night, as i dont trust ppl, and this is in my own drive way!

poor skyline!!!..damn!

AFIAK there is only a police force on the Goldcoast in name only.. They're extremely under-manned, and absolutely useless for anything other than a few defects now and then. As for solving real crime, forget about it.

So here especially you have to be vigilant with all security.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
