Hi all

Well tonight i return to my car at the train station and notice a few cars over some bogan scumbags are flogging the number plates off an old subaru wagon. It took a few seconds to realise it wasnt there car and by that point they saw me and i froze just thinking f**k, they have seen i have caught them doing it and they looked at my car. I know there number plate but they saw mine and my car so can easily come back and flog mine aswell or just vandalise it. :domokun:

Are there ways to keep your number plates safe? like special screws or something?

i will rivet to your bracket thing if you want rob, but the allen keys are probably beyond those guys anyway. i dont think you will have any trouble, as thats when you will go to the police and say xyz, they wont draw attention to themselves tahts how crooks work

Couldn't help but read your from campbelltown....I've had my plates taken twice once in the car park at Ingleburn (woolies)

the second time from my front yard...rural west of Denham court.

It co-incided with the petrol prices.....haven't had a prob for a while...where did you see this happening??, alot of dead sh*ts out this way.

TBH as petrol prices rise the amount of theft of plates and the petrol drive off's (theft) have also gone through the roof probably 20 fold in last 2 years. I believe Neighbourhood watch had drive to hand out special screws to stop theft of plates.

plate theft is a common thing . if they are taking your plates , they arent targetting a "skyline" in general . it happenes to all different types of cars , and the reason it is done is to steal petrol. i know of some bad groups who would do the exact thing . so if your plates go missing - report it to the police , because for all you know your plates could of been in used in petrol theft or a robbery - who knows , but it does happen sadly . damn degenerates out there.

a good idea which i am thinking of doing , is bolting my plates , so that the bolt head - which is just a raw head with no fitting on it , is facing the front , and a bolt is on the back in the bar - that way no one can take it off unless they get the bar off . - bit extreme but i can access mine due to the fitment of my intercooler - little would they know. and would save your plates.

    • 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
    • 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.
