dude that sucks man, apart from an immob have you got a nice loud alarm?

a 120db screamer under the dash hidden works wonders! it will make their ears bleed before they can start pulling wires out!

Pm me if you want more info..

Man that sucks. Good to hear that they didnt get it though and that no one was hurt or anything, could have ended a lot worse then it did, especially if the kids were the ones that were trying to flog it. Hope the repair bill doesn't give you too much grief.

also watch out for 120db alarms,,,, if its too sensitive you'll be paying allot of noise polution fines lol.... especially when a fellow rb26 or rb25 is screaming past in a car park lol

just some food fr thought

I want one of these 120dB alarms!!!!!!!!! Where from? :P I want 3 point immobiliser and pager alarm, seemingly there aren't many on the market.

Have heard about gangs in glebe. Happening for years; so badly that, even if you called the cops, they know how long they take to respond, and will be long gone. Shitty situation, is why i never park in the city.

Well after some phoning around and forum browsing, it looks like this will be fixed by Saturday afternoon. Grand total is a respectable $280 all up. That's including the cost of the parts and postage to me, rekeying of the ignition barrel to match my current key and installation of the barrel including the rewiring required for the immobiliser. Not too bad, I don't think. I can't wait for it to be done - I miss driving it so much! He's been sitting in the garage since it happened. I just wish I'd been able to spend that money on something else that it actually needed done. :)

Yeah very happy considering it costs $300 for the ignition barrel and $140 for the surround (excluding GST) from Nissan themselves.

I'm getting the parts from a fellow SAU member who has a thread in the For Sale section. $120 for the barrel and $30 for the surround plus $20 in postage. I phoned a whole lot of wreckers and got a lot of 'haven't got 'em' as well as a range of different prices ($150-175 on the barrel and $60 odd for the surround) for the other bits.

Then the re-keying and installation is being done at Pacific Auto Electrics in Thornleigh. It's actually organised through the locksmith (Ultimate Locksmiths, the guys name is Daniel) as he gets all his auto electrical stuff done by Pacific. So I take it there, he charges me $110 and the whole lot gets done. He was also prepared to just do the barrel re-keying and let me install it for $66.

Lucky you man, My window alone cost $550.. So you've found some good deals. Hope its back up and running soon.

used to live in darlington, same deal up the road from reddy and insurance was higher then at my place next to bankstown.

No worries, guys. I am happy with the price, all things considered. Just would've been nice to not have to shell out at all. I am lucky that I didn't end up with a smashed window to replace as well.

I had no idea that Glebe had such a bad rep down the Broadway end. I now know that there's a big difference between the two sides of Glebe. I never would've parked there had I known.

The 1important thing i remember about Glebe is when that lady got car jacked going in or coming out of the shops.

+ i worked onsite cnr of parra & derwent st. so i seen the sort of people that get around there.

also watch out for 120db alarms,,,, if its too sensitive you'll be paying allot of noise polution fines lol.... especially when a fellow rb26 or rb25 is screaming past in a car park lol

If you read carefully, I have installed these under dashboards..

So the outside alarm is for the attention, the inside alarm is unbearably loud.... Destined to stop a thief in their tracks

:) Money didn't clear into seller's account in time to have the parts delivered today. So provided they're sent express post today, I should be able to get it back on the road on Wednesday. This sucks!

EDIT: Good thing is that I'll have that 'damn this car is amazing' feeling when drive it again after having it sit there for over a week.

Had another look at the car today, and I think my steering column has been busted in the process of trying to steal it. :D Very upsetting. I posted a thread in the general forum that I'd appreciate some feedback in.

Cheers.

Little update. Car is ready to be picked up in the morning. :banana: Cannot wait to drive it again. The locksmith managed to work the steering column back into shape so it still locks in both directions after you remove the key from the ignition. It's all rekeyed and sorted out so I'm happy. I've got the last of the bits I need arriving in the mail tomorrow so it should be a complete car by tomorrow night.

The only problem left is the light behind the clock that's stopped working. I'm hoping it might just be a fuse - but I don't like my chances. It's minor, but it's bothering me. Any one got any hints on that?

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
