well people i will be buying 4 diffrent types of lock nuts today and barb wire to run across the top of the fence incase they try to jump over :dry:

and have been starting to park really really close to the house, so they cant get to 1 side of the car

as for calling the police.... that was a waste of time, it seems that they have better things to at night. tho 5 cars have been stolen of my street over the last two months

but i hope that i hear them coming! if i catch them ill call the whole street to come over, so they can have a hit or 2...

damn why cant people just buy things...... then we all wouldnt have to worry about stuff like this

He shouldn't have to move house because some shitkunt cant afford to buy his own rims, and not like it's easy to move houses.

Be cheaper and quicker to just get a garage built, provided he has the room.

Good luck with it Allen Paul! Hope you catch the pricks.

5 cars stolen from the same street in under 2 months? that's a bit too much don't you think? surely there's a neighbourhood watch/lynch mob forming by now.

They probably think its easy pickings so are getting more and more daring.

Best bet would be to get a sensor light and have it hooked up to some bright ass bulbs. That's usually enough of a deterrent.. could always get it wired up to an alarm/buzzer.

Parking one side of your vehicle close to the house is a great idea.

ok i got it...

dig a moat around your car thats 11 feet deep and 2 and a half inches... no more... no less... or it wont work... make sure u fill it 31.4inches from the top... then... go get 7 sharks with laser beams on their heads and put them in the water... cover the top with vines and thatch... make it look as inconspicuous as possible... then when they come to take the wheels or car... CRUNCH! SLAP!! BAM!! ZAP!!! BATMAN!!!

and best of all... there will be no bodies left behind as evidence.

case closed set and match.

perhaps another perspective.

It is someone who is trying to scare you. I dont think anyone is really that stupid to leave a gate open when they are sussing out a car as it will be too apparant to the owner that they intend to deface your vehicle.

Maybe its just someone trying to send you a msg.

just a thought.

hey funky

me an you are preety much from the same area but i am from N.P so you know what it is like down here. yea we do have neighbourhood watch, but it seem that they are watching there own shit.

a letter from the police gets sent out to my whole street, saying what has happend in our suburb...thats how i know about 5 cars in two months

3 years ago i had a black r32 gtst an that got stolen... i had no insurance, the police found the car 2 weeks later, in the guy garage.....stripped! and so i sold the car for 3k a total loss of about 11k

so i cant get done again by this type of crap

Have you ever thought the people who are trying to steal your wheels, might know who you are through this forum?

Posting your solution to the problem is a little bit silly i think...

Inform the police, and improve your home security, that's probably the best deterrent...

haha yeah i know, i freak out about the quality of security where we are now, even with a lock up garage. but seems like NP is far worse. had the shock of my life when my insurance premium jumped so much when I moved from bundoora to here.

No joking matter I agree, but some funny shit from the usual funny crunts!

In your place I would go for a big ass sensor flood light they are cheap and you can just hook it up with an extension lead.

With a kit like that in a burb like that i would also pull a car cover over it at about 10 pm every night just to remove the visual and make a show of awareness.

Also a paging alarm with a microwave detector will give you all the peace of mind you need... as long as it's a Directed electronics brand like Viper of Clifford and fitted by a human with skill not a monkey with a screwdriver.

not a monkey with a screwdriver.

i used the screwdriver to fix my latching problem danny! you were spot on, the screw had come loose and it was just sliding around when I locked it.

i think the best solution would be to make it hard for them to get to your car.. as people have mentioned: sensors, different lock nuts etc. this will probably stop them from coming back.

but i also think that some people need to be taught a lesson.. a lesson making sure they don't go and steal people's cars/parts again! i would get mates down, get them into the garage, cut their figertips off, then burn the tips to stop blood loss ;) put their thieving hands to a stop!

    • 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"
