that sucks mate...... but it is port adelaide?, a dump

and no alarm, just asking for it. parking on the street is like having a flag on it in neon, "steal me"!!

at least you got it back in fixable condition not smoking still.

so I take it your first item to buy is a ADR approved alarm ?

wish the police would actually put the car theft crims behind bars, not a slap on the hand off you go.

farking scum in this town who steal cars and trash them.

Yeah port adealide is pretty dodgey looking area. This is like a really new subdivision right next to Port Adelaide. The street is completely off the road and there is only one way in and out. So it's not like these losers just happened to be cruising by and saw my car. It's likely they specifically targeted this area because it's a fairly rich area, and of course my skyline was like the only cool car parked on the street (apart from a yellow R34).

I'm so pissed off that I didn't make it a challenge to steal. I mean it's so easy to immobilise your own car even if you don't have an immobilisor. You just pull out wires and fuses, take out the battery or pull off the steering wheel. All of which I will be doing the next time I park in a dodgey place.

Insurance rang and they are going to fix it up and sort it all out, they have been really good about it all. So at the end of the day it's just gonna cost me for the excess.

I guess I was lucky it wasn't a smoldering pile of metal and all of my belongings were still in the car, my toolbox and a $700 car dvd player was left intact.

Hope everyone can learn something from this. It's just unfortunate I didn't read about all the stolen skylines in this section before it actually happened to me.

Was this Skyline supposed to be in a wedding in 2 weeks time? I have been asked for my V35 to be a replacement car for a Skyline that was stolen from Newport last week.

Sorry to hear man. Hopefully the filthy crooks hurt themselves when they crashed it.

It was supposed to be in my brothers wedding in a month's time. Hopefully it's all fixed up in time... I have no idea how long crash repairs take.

takes 2 sec to unplug the ignitor in the engine bay and the fuel pump in the boot

then click the little latch in on the boot catch so you need a key to open the boot

presto unstealable or will atleast you'll wake up from the sound of them trying to start it with nothing happen

my fav was the fuel pump trick

also try and buy the car back from insurance comp if its written off as a repairable write off....then see if you can fix it or make it in to a project.....or just sell the parts individually and make some $$ that way

No it doesn't look too bad but turns out there is damage to the suspension and they would need to pull the engine out. So they're writing it off. Oh well I'll have to get a GTR just like Krishy suggested.

Buy a clublock and an alarm + kill switches and hook them all up as soon as you buy it, being a GTR and I'm guessing it'll be parked in or around that port Adelaide area you'll need a few things to stop them, don't know how, but theives are getting smarter, must be a 'how to' guide to stealing cars book, or 'stealing cars for dummies' book..

I can tell you that I wont be parking a skyline ever again in the port adealide area. Not without removing a wheel or something.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      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

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      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

      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.
