This morning @ 3.33am I interupted the theft of Chris' car. I suspect his alarm didn't go off because of a faulty battery which we will have investigated today (or perhaps they knew their way around that as well). In hindsight, I should have let them take the damn car and let the tracking device do its thing and catch them red handed. But at the time, all I thought about was scaring them off.

Chris' car is normally in the garage, the only reason it wasn't is because we're working on my race car in there atm :P

There were at least three of them, pulled hoods over their heads when they realised I was on to them. Very bold, getaway vehicle all ready to go. Smashed rear quarter and I don't know what else yet, but they had the car halfway down the road.

Off to buy some movement activated night cameras now :P

Salt made of lead more likely

I'm NOT a violent person, but if I ever caught a thief having a go at mine, I'm pretty sure I would end up in gaol for a longer time (for the assault) than what THEY would have for actually stealing the car.

Mark was coming up the rear and passed me before I got down the steps - they looked scrawny to me... not enough muscle to physically work for their assets, they'd rather take someone elses hard earnt possessions. :P

When Michele woke me at 3:30 this morning it didnt really sink in...but it has now!!!

I'm soooooooooo pissed off :P (sorry Shell if I cant say that!)...

lucky I took the window breakage option on my insurance - letting me replace one free of charge each year!!! - my insurance just paid for itself this year!!! (gotta be positive, gotta be positive!!)

Good to see the SAU community is alive and kicking....... :D

Shell, I wanted to say the C word, but I dont like that one - ask Michele !!! :)

The 34 is not meant to be able to be taken out of park until accessories are on - but obviously it can if you force it hard enough!!!

Yeah Titan - it does have the passenger release....

The battery issue on the alarm is all fixed now :wave:

and Shell, the steadeddie mobile lives another day!!! :laugh:

James - I dont think you'd appreciate a 3:30am call but thanks so much for the offer :blink:

I'll guarantee that James wouldn't care less about getting a call at 3:30am, especially if it were to help a friend in need with the bonus of catching a b@stard.

Thanks everyone and keep an eye out, they were pretty bold. Alarms are all set and ready to face another day, although I suspect the scariest part for the thieving, low life, scum bucket, cesspit dwelling b@stards was seeing Mark running down the steps in his undies hahahaha

onya for scareing the crap out of the 'scum'. it's all a big joke to car thieves; I went to court to see how the judicial system handled the shithead that stole my GTR [it has never been recovered]. he couldn't have cared less; paid no attention to the prosecutor, or the judge for that matter. this thief had stolen three cars within a week, it's what he does for a living!!. the cops told me he will be stealing cars the minute he gets out of 'clink'. what irritated me was that neither the judge nor the baliff steped in to control the thief and his girlfriend started calling out how much they loved each other during court proceedings. Ridicuclous!!!.

Oh that sucks ass :laugh:

I'm no lady. If someone touched my car... Actually when someone broke into my car outside of Russell last year I said the C word. Lots of times and that's without them actually damaging it. Pray for the soul of the person that ever damages it if I catch them!!

I just hate how people are so shit and have no respect for other people's property. There's so many reports of this type of thing happening in Canberra at the moment.

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • 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.
