Hi, at Unique Autosports day i was told to cut the wire that does the auto lock of the doors as people who are stealing the car flick the lock switch and unlock the door.

anyway my friend has taken the door switch part off my door however we cant work out which wire to cut :) and i dont want to cut the wrong one :D

what colour is the wire that i cut?

Thanks!

G'day dude,

Yepp, it's strongly advised to do this.

I did mine and from memory it's a brown wire that you cut. Or a wire with a brown stripe on it.

Cut it so you have enough left so you can join it back up. So if you do cut the wrong one you can still join it up again.

When you've cut the right wire, the button will still lock the doors, but won't unlock the doors.

Cheers

wait....i'm confused:confused:....so how'd you get out of the car? :confused:

:confused:you mean the switches on the inside?:confused: how'd those thieves flick it from the outside? :confused:

Aero - there is a switch on the drivers door that you press and it will lock/unlock the passengers side door.

I'm not talking about the the drivers door lock, I'm talking about the other one that is there.

If you cut the wire to the button, you can still just unlock the doors manually etc.

Cutting the wire does not affect the central locking in anyway.

you can put an unbent coat hanger through the gap where the glass touches the roof and flick the switch, then u can get in the door without breaking the glass, and maybe w/o setting off the alarm. but hopefully it should go off as soon as someone inside the car moves.

Is that switch on the right hand side meant to lock both doors?? Or just the passenger one, because my switch only locks the passenger door.

That feature in my car comes in handy simply because I drive the car a lot by myself. Whats the benefits in disconnecting the lock. I thought it was quite a good function.

And how can people trying to hyjack the car, unlock the door? I'm a bit confused here!

NismoGirl - with the wire cut you can still lock the door, but not unlock the door.

You can still unlock the pass' door by unlocking the drivers door and the central locking will then unlock the pass' door.

I personally would my car as hard as possible to get into, so I have cut the wire. Sure my alarm will go off as soon as they open the door, but I'd like to make it as hard as possible to get the door open in the first place !

For an explaination of what can be done have a look at a5h's post above.

Cheers

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
