Just passing on the words... thieves - hate em!

ORIGINAL bulletin posted by Adam:

*******************************

When I hear people from the city and other area's of Adelaide slander the south I defend it. The south is my home and the only place I have ever lived. We have amazing down to earth people, beautiful coast line, surfing beaches, fantastic wines and gorgeous amazing girls smile.gif

It has been my choice to give up 90% of my life to my career...in order to fuel a love I have for motor sports... alot of study and alot of travel away from loved ones in order for that next eagerly awaited mod.

When this lack of humanity happens it tests my faith in the south... What have these people given up in their lives to think they have the right to take someone else’s hard work? what have they given up for them apart from a broken foot?

.......

Yesterday at 4 in the morning a group of people decided to jack my car up and steal my 19" speedy rims a few meters from my bedroom window...

They had 3 rims off and in their car...the 4th rim has a dodgy thread...meaning the rim was stuck. It seems they pulled as hard as they could and inturn the car fell off its jacks onto their foot. Smashing the body of my car into the ground.

My alarm then went off and woke me up...jumping over Bee, running into 3 doors trying to get out side the criminal got his foot loose leaving his shoe...

Their car ripped up commercial road as I was left in my undies motionless at the sheer horror of my totalled wreck of a 200sx.

The bill is around the 6 grand mark so far (not insured)

.......

Should I move to another safer area and give up mates and the environment I love?

I don’t want to loose faith in my love of the south... i would like to think the amount of good hard working moral people we have down here outweight the sh7thead down and outers.

They have 3 rims? They cannot sell them! They are rare! I cannot reorder them they are no longer made! There is one other car in Adelaide who has them! These rims will sit in some room not able to be sold. PUT THEM BACK ON MY LAWN! You screwed up!

South I ask this of you! Talk about it...repost this get the word around...any info leading to these people i will reward! I want them! And I want this bullsh7t to stop. The effect this has on people’s lives is horrible I have seen cars in drive ways stripped and their lives are forever changed. I don’t want this happening to anyone else.

Info I need!

1. Anyone who has suddenly after yesterday got a broken foot! Or limping! Their shoe was a cheap as sh7t wave zone skater shoe... Msg me this info.. 0439418141

2. A light blue commodore VN with body kit big chrome mags and clear aftermarket rear lights. Msg me if you know this car! 0439418141

3.19" rims sitting anywhere side of the road or someone’s house. These are useless to them. Or if someone sells a 19" tyre cheap. Let me know! 0439418141

4. Two weeks ago I spent a grand on brand new tyres at the local Bridgestone next to quix...a coincidence they where stolen straight after?????? Again info I need 0439418141.

i need your help...someone knows somthing. Restore my faith in south.

Thanks,

Adam De Laine

hope your insurance covers it

poor him :)

don't want to be pain in the ass

but if he can afford to pay $37000+ for this car, why he doesn't buy insurance??

i nearly bought this car off the ex-owner 3 yrs ago, so close i even took it to Nissan Unley to perform a pre purchase check

hell theres a million VNs in adelaide with chromies and aftermarket tail lights. I know one and will SMS/Call him tommorow.

PS, didnt this happen a few weeks ago? Remember that same 200sx with them pics not long ago?

justa heads up, that vn commo is a local down seaford.... ive been living down here for a while and i see if often enough ( cant mis it,every time i see it i think wot a w$%ker......

looks like hes gonne get "NOCKED THE F*** OUT......BIATCH"

I hope someone gets them good and they end up in hospiatal eating through a straw, or their car gets stolen and torched.

... Scum like that need to grow the f**k up and work like everyone else.

....have you tried calling a local hospital if they have any records of someone with a broken foot from around that date?

Goodluck with getting your rims back.

It's just dumb not to have insurance on what will probably be your second most expensive ourchase in your life.

I do feel sorry for him, but the world we live in today means you need to insure your car, house, contents, etc, etc.

Sif park your car anywhere (or even own a nice one) without insurance. What the hell a nice car like that is doing parked on a street overnight is beyond me. If you don't give the thieves a good chance they won't even try unless you are majorly unlucky.

Sorry, but if you can't afford the insurance, you can't afford the car.

Hope he gets the rims back though, and the thieves get what is coming to them.

Aren't "Speedy" brand rims cheap-as-crap rubbish that every commo and excel has on them?

see this car all the time on the way home, lives not too far from me. Guys i do agree that its silly not to have insurance on something this nice and i'm sure the guy is regretting it now but lets not rub it in. Good luck getting it all fixed and sorted, i'll keep my eyes open.

    • 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"
