Hey ppls,

Yeah, my 'Rago got keyed - second time in two months. Both were separate instances in public carparks in different locations around Sydney.

I'm soo pissed off now - I can't believe that someone would do that to a van. Twice. This time they were smart enough to key obscenities also.

If someone will do this to a van, what the hell will they do to a Skyline? All those who've had to experience this before, you have my sympathies. And those who haven't, I hope you never do. I'm sick of this, we're not even going to bother getting it fixed now because I can't justify claiming through insurance if it happens again.

This is like totally undermining my confidence in police at the moment - there simply are not harsh enough penalties to deter vandals / car thieves.

Oh well, if anyone sees a Tarago going around with those features - gimme a wave. It's the car I drive when I'm not in the line :)

yeah ya'd think so. Cops are draggin their feet on this. Got a bad feeling, needs full respray

cops should do something,

some kids egged our house and the police went over their house and talked to them, so i would think they would do for your issue.

dont mean to hijack

shif_tea can you take civil action or something? I guess they may be too young to be considered responsible but I reckon they should make their kids pay..

I thought this would never happen to me, and I certainly did not expect it to happen to a car other than my 'line. Just goes to show there are always people who will surprise you, sometimes unfortunately.

yeah the cops went and talked to em and the witnesses (another 3 kids who saw em do it) all i've heard from the cops so far is "its still under investigation" this is 2.5 months later.

I'm gonna start to hassle but dunno what my options are yet.

Anyway i already had my cry in another thread. I feel for ya razor.....tarago is a much larger car to get sprayed!!!

Gee man.. thats not good

Hey mate sorry to hear that

Its bad hearing these stories - but it is something that happens unfortunately

Heard a few bad stories - one in VIC and the dude even had video evidence from the shopping centre where the car was parked but the police couldn't (or wouldn't) do anything about it... Even the guy's fuel cover panel was keyed...

people (even young kids) shouldn't get thrills from damaging other people's ride

ah razor - I'm thinking that some skidlines should be left on some door steps

cheers

some little punks scratched the back end of my line while it was parked in my own driveway mind you..

some parents dont care what there kids do these days aslong as they dont have to put up with them its completely wrong

if you catch the kids doing something wrong take them to there parents the parents still dont wanna know about it

we will have a bunch of juvies at age 2 soon

sorry for the rant

i sympathise to all those that have had there rides vandalised or stolen

Shif_tea,

There may be some hope, we had a Xmas party at our place and about 9 cars got scratched, some only on one panel, others completely around car. Approx $30K to $40K damage. Turns out to be little 7 yr old girls not really knowing what they were doing. The parents actually were going to bank to borrow money to repair cars when by accident found that the parents House & Contents Insurance, under the Contents public liability covered the damage.

I know sounds weird, but the people have had their cars fixed. So if you know who the parents are, and could find out if they have Contents insurance, then there may be some hope. Perhaps ask the Police to chase that avenue for you.

Good Luck !!!

Sigh, unfortunately after talking to the cops the other day it turns out it wasn't the kids that i was told it was. Apparently its a couple of kids 14-15 middle eastern appearance with mullet cuts that live just up the street (but they're not sure where). Apparently they come into the complex to use our pool sometimes, but noones seen em since....so no pay back for me.

Unless of course i happen to see them wandering around...then i'll probably be posting the rest of my SAU stuff from a prison cell :kick:

      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

      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.
