So i haven't seen much on this forum about stolen skylines (maybe more specific state sub forums have some listed)

But yeah skyline and silvia theft on the gold coast and Brisbane is insane!

The amount of 32s and 33s that have been stolen is just out of control!

If anyone trolls Boostcruising,you will normally see a thread a fortnight at minimum.

For example last week a white 32 was stolen then a 32 4 door was attempted to be stolen and just yesterday a blue S14 was stolen.

Are there any other states that this is on the rise?

Discuss!

A user on boost is compiling a list of all the stolen vehicles. Will post here when completed.

Insurance,alarms and vigilance people!

Shit is rough up here!

Mostly this news is as you assumed, in State Forums.

Over the past year I've noticed (& I could be wrong) that per capita population...

SA & QLD would head your list

NSW, ACT & VIC follow a bit behind

Many SAU Members take steps (in their own ways) to be vigilant too, as best we can.

You will always get your joyriders that burn them out.

But the majority of these thefts are organised and done for parts.

Another example is a month or so ago a ceffy was broken into but they couldn't start it so they stole the 4 door 32 next to it. then the next night a guy came back to someone in his 33 at a shopping mall pulling apart his dash. the guy jumped into a 32 that sped away while the passenger pointed a gun out the window at the witnesses.

Rumours are (and always have been afaik) that gc cars/parts end up in melb/syd and vice versa to stay under the radar for stolen parts.

Scum, just scum, get your own cars you jobless losers. People, get those alarms which have SMS to alert you if you're away, trust me people don't give a **** about alarms if they hear them. Insurance is also invaluable but I guess the best way is not to park anywhere dodgy or dark and try to be vigilant. At least make it harder to get.

I've noticed alot more of this sh1t happening of late and made me start thinking about GPS tracking options.

Has anyone got a GPS tracker fitted?

I've seen a bunch of cheap units on eBay that don't have the subscription service fees... made in china so not so sure if they're any good. I think this is about the only hope one would have at finding there car again. That said, you would need to hide it pretty good and have battery backup so they can't disable it too easy.

apparently the best and most effective method is to get an alarm with a sim card, as thieves can use devices to jam gps signals.

cheaper method and the cops can trace mobile signals yeah?

also a 180sx and yellow VP commo separately stolen last night in the brisbane area..

Actually the phone thing sounds good, the cops would be able to if you give them proof of ownership and the car has been stolen. Would be great to see one of these scumbags thrown in the big house.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By Zabuza · Posted

      Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.

      Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4

      Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went?

      V36 2008 Coupe Wiring Differences with Android Screen

      By sausagepianist · Posted

      Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was ￡307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell.

      As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
