Is there anyway to stop that auto-locking "feature"? today, i had the unfortunate result of that feature happen to me, basically my keys fell out of my pocket into the car when i reached in to get something, long story short, the car locked me out and i had to call racv to come and break into my car (took him about 2mins to break in :) ). Can that "feature" be disabled or do i just have to live with it?

nah it doesn't have an aftermarket alarm yet, and no the car wasn't moving at the time :) It seems to lock again after a few minutes of remote unlocking, i thought it might of been a nissan security feature... but if your cars dont do it then was there an optional security system or something that this might be linked to?

after thinking about it for awhile though im considering taping a spare key to i/c piping inside the front bumper, that way i wouldnt have to, the next time this happens i wont have to worry about somehow getting home, finding the other spare key, then getting back before someone else takes it. sane idea? :)

OK...we'll take note of tht :O

But seriously...should be a way to disable it...its a pain in the arse function...maybe post on the alarms and car audio section and wait for chris rogers to answer.

its a skyline thing as far as i know...

lol 2mins to break in... what a pro.

yeah he used a little air bag thing he pumps up near the top of door to create a small gap, then reaches in with a piece of wire to pull the lock back; it took him longer to fill out the paperwork.

im guessing its hard coded straight into the ecu... maybe actually installing an aftermarket alarm could override that feature.

      Import insurance in 2025

      No, I don't remember the exact reasoning (was 20 years ago!) but the cops didn't end up supplying it to us either. Actually my mother went through a similar thing recently where she was hit when stationary, flustered and didn't get address (she got plate details, name, phone and insurance company, but not address). Person who hit her blocked her number and their insurance company (naturally) would not provide any details. Her insurance company also required her to pay the at fault premium because she did not have the address, cops did not help as it is a minor civil matter (they said their only course was if the other driver had left the scene of the accident without providing any details). She only ended up getting that refunded because they happened to be insured with Suncorp and she was with APIA so same company owners. For some reason the address is critical in insurance companies recovering money from the at fault party

      If you're driving something like an R32 through to R34, no chance of meeting Euro4. Euro4 came out in 2006, and car manufacturers back then were complaining how hard it would be to meet those regulations. Not a chance a vehicle 10 years earlier is going to be compliant.

      I presume it would take more than just slapping a big modern catalyst on the exhaust? It's interesting though, looking at the old sales brochures and listings it does not mention anything about emissions. No one cared.

      Yeh nice, looks like their part of keep it reet? Will have to swing past. I'd much prefer someone actually look at my car and custom make a part, then get a generic part online and hope it works.
