Kahli he means that making your door handle electric is not allowed, and ones the cops find out that you did it, then they're gonna ram you up the ass in a metaphorical sense (hence the lube reference).

I was watching discovery channel one time about making a car bullet proof/hijack proof/bomb proof etc etc.

They had like self sealing fuel tank, self sealing tires, bullet proof glass/doors, all this crazy stuff and they also made the door handles shock whoever tried to open them when the car is running/driving/whatever.

But of course, this was a government vehicle.

Just get a quick release steering wheel, once they see there is no wheel, would they even bother trying to get in? But I suppose these are defectable...

Shame all those things add a lot of weight and reduce the amount of fuel you can fit in the tank.

bright as fark alarm indicator on the dash, visible club lock, park it in front of another car if you dont have a garage to put it in, (additionally, park the drivers door real close to a wall and hop out the passenger side, then park another car behind it), remove fuel pump and ignition relays.

Stupid Bas*ards!

They will get whats coming to them just wait..

I remember not too long ago my cousin who has an R33 GT-R, had his car attemted to be stolen, although he has an alarm system which alerts his keys aswell or the remote on the keys.

These two as* holes where trying to brake into it in whilst it was in his garage.

My cousin caught them red handed and made them wait in his garage with a little persuasion from a little something...

whilst he got on the phone and lets just say he didn't call the cops to come over.

A few hours later they left and sure as hell were never gonna attempt to steal his car again, for that matter i dont think they will steal any car after what happened to them lmao.. Try and imagine.. haha

Basic aim of this is car thieves know how precious a persons car is to them and when they attempt to do things like that they should be dealt with in a way not involving the police..

hmm :bunny: well

Thieving = breaking the law

Police = enforce the law

i think police should really deal with them? Coz now your cousin has also broken the law, im guessing by

-unlawful detainment

-assault

etc.

I see your point, but i dont think being a macho man and beating the crap out of some deadbeat means your car isnt going to get touched again, i'd rather keep a clean record and not have cops see an assault charge when they pull me over and check my license.

I hate the fact you gotta do that kinda stuff just to keep your car safe.

I can't enjoy anything anymore while I'm out. All I think about is if someones either stealing it or reversed into it. I remember the first day I got it registered, I came back home and there were four sctratches from someone hitting troleys n things into it.

damo, id like to see you keep your calm if you busted someone red handed tryin to break into

the 34 :bunny:

bye the time the popo finish there doughnut and waddle there ass to your place,.

your car will be in a million peices and cheap parts will be advertised in ns.com :)

i dont condone nor support actions like that, but unfortunately, as has been said, the police rarely if ever do anything about people damaging and stealing peoples cars, so they really arent a great option to call upon.

you can pick a cop hater a mile away, i love how no one ever says anything about good cops, but theres a 20 page discussion if a thread comes up about a cop being an ass. A cop is just the first step, if they get caught, they go before a magistrate, but you don't hear anyone bagging out magistrates for their poor sentences. I agree that the police are unfair at times, ill be the first to admit that. And effort is rarely shown at the scene of an attempted car theft, such as not taking prints or following up. The sad thing is, there are SOOOO many car jackings/ attempted thefts in Adelaide, if the police spent all their time tracking them all down, people would whinge about police not out on the beat in public area, or not arresting real criminals.

Oh and Craig, you have seen me, if i caught someone trying to steal my car, id lose the fight, so why bother. I try my very hardest to keep my car out of situations where it could be stolen, like at home, my car is alarmed and immobilised in front of my mums astra, which is in front of a locked roller door, with my dads toyota hilux behind it, and a big f**k off heavy double locked sliding gate out the front.

my 9 yen.

your size doesnt even come into it in a situation like that though, you walk into that, and you have no idea what they could be carrying. its not impossible that one or more of who ever is trying to jack your car has a gun, a knife, or is otherwise armed, smartest thing to do is simply call the police.

i should probably rephrase my previous post aswell, im not saying that its all down to the police, but when nothings happening and you can sit around and think, the lack of action taken is very disappointing, and it makes the idea of vigilantism appealing. even if there are too many car jackings and thefts to keep track of on a day to day basis.

i think the magistrate are very fair and reasnoble :bunny:, its the laws behind them that need to be changed

im gonna stick by street justice cause i know the police wont do anything..........even if they manage to catch the people its a slap on the wrist. so id rather slap em around a lil and send them on there way :)

lol Rhys i hope you are joking about the magistrate comment, they are the ones letting off these repeat offenders with warnings, following the news lately theres only been 1 story about a magistrate who handed out a fair decision.

    • Jdm DC2R is also nice for a FF car compared to the regular hatches of the time.
    • Now that the break-in period for both clutch and transmission is nearly over I'd like to give some tips before I forget about everything that happened, also for anyone searching up how to do this job in the future: You will need at least 6 ton jack stands at full extension. I would go as far as to say maybe consider 12 ton jack stands because the height of the transmission + the Harbor Freight hydraulic platform-style transmission jack was enough that it was an absolute PITA getting the transmission out from under the car and back in. The top edge of the bellhousing wants to contact the subframe and oil pan and if you're doing this on the floor forget about trying to lift this transmission off the ground and onto a transmission jack from under the car. Also do not try to use a scissor jack transmission lift. You have to rotate the damn thing in-place on the transmission jack which is hard enough with an adjustable platform and a transmission cradle that will mostly keep the transmission from rolling off the jack but on a scissor lift with a tiny non-adjustable platform? Forget it. Use penetrating oil on the driveshaft bolts. I highly recommend getting a thin 6 point combination (box end + open end) wrench for both the rear driveshaft and front driveshaft and a wrench extension. These bolts are on tight with very little space to work with and those two things together made a massive difference. Even a high torque impact wrench is just the wrong tool for the job here and didn't do what I needed it to do. If your starter bolts aren't seized in place for whatever reason you can in fact snake in a 3/8 inch ratchet + 6 point standard chrome socket up in there and "just" remove the bolts for the starter. Or at least I could. It is entirely by feel, you can barely fit it in, you can barely turn the stupid ratchet, but it is possible. Pull the front pipe/downpipe before you attempt to remove the transmission. In theory you don't have to, in practice just do it.  When pulling the transmission on the way out you don't have to undo all the bolts holding the rear driveshaft to the chassis like the center support bearing and the rear tunnel reinforcement bar but putting the transmission back in I highly recommend doing this because it will let you raise the transmission without constantly dealing with the driveshaft interfering in one way or another. I undid the bottom of the engine mount but I honestly don't know that it helped anything. If you do this make sure you put a towel on the back of the valve cover to keep the engine from smashing all the pipes on the firewall. Once the transmission has been pulled back far enough to clear the dowels you need to twist it in place clockwise if you're sitting behind the transmission. This will rotate the starter down towards the ground. The starter bump seems like it might clear if you twist the transmission the other way but it definitely won't. I have scraped the shit out of my transmission tunnel trying so learn from my mistake. You will need a center punch and an appropriate size drill bit and screw to pull the rear main seal. Then use vice grips and preferably a slide hammer attachment for those vice grips to yank the seal out. Do not let the drill or screw contact any part of the crank and clean the engine carefully after removing the seal to avoid getting metal fragments into the engine. I used a Slide Hammer and Bearing Puller Set, 5 Piece from Harbor Freight to pull the old pilot bearing. The "wet paper towel" trick sucked and just got dirty clutch water everywhere. Buy the tool or borrow it from a friend and save yourself the pain. It comes right out. Mine was very worn compared to the new one and it was starting to show cracks. Soak it in engine oil for a day in case yours has lost all of the oil to the plastic bag it comes in. You may be tempted to get the Nismo aftermarket pilot bearing but local mechanics have told me that they fail prematurely and if they do fail they do far more damage than a failed OEM pilot bushing. I mentioned this before but the Super Coppermix Twin clutch friction disks are in fact directional. The subtle coning of the fingers in both cases should be facing towards the center of the hub. So the coning on the rearmost disk closest to the pressure plate should go towards the engine, and the one closest to the flywheel should be flipped the other way. Otherwise when you torque down the pressure plate it will be warped and if you attempt to drive it like this it will make a very nasty grinding noise. Also, there is in fact an orientation to the washers for the pressure plate if you don't want to damage the anodizing. Rounded side of the washer faces the pressure plate. The flat side faces the bolt head. Pulling the transmission from the transfer case you need to be extremely careful with the shift cover plate. This part is discontinued. Try your best to avoid damaging the mating surfaces or breaking the pry points. I used a dead blow rubber hammer after removing the bolts to smack it sideways to slide it off the RTV the previous mechanic applied. I recommend using gasket dressing on the OEM paper gasket to try and keep the ATF from leaking out of that surface which seems to be a perpetual problem. Undoing the shifter rod end is an absolute PITA. Get a set of roll pin punches. Those are mandatory for this. Also I strongly, strongly recommend getting a palm nailer that will fit your roll pin punch. Also, put a clean (emphasis on clean) towel wrapped around the back end of the roll pin to keep it from shooting into the transfer case so you can spend a good hour or two with a magnet on a stick getting it out. Do not damage the shifter rod end either because those are discontinued as well. Do not use aftermarket flywheel bolts. Or if you do, make sure they are exactly the same dimensions as OEM before you go to install them. I have seen people mention that they got the wrong bolts and it meant having to do the job again. High torque impact wrench makes removal easy. I used some combination of a pry bar and flathead screwdriver to keep the flywheel from turning but consider just buying a proper flywheel lock instead. Just buy the OS Giken clutch alignment tool from RHDJapan. I hated the plastic alignment tool and you will never be confident this thing will work as intended. Don't forget to install the Nismo provided clutch fork boot. Otherwise it will make unearthly noises when you press the clutch pedal as it says on the little installation sheet in Japanese. Also, on both initial disassembly and assembly you must follow torque sequence for the pressure plate bolts. For some reason the Nismo directions tell you to put in the smaller 3 bolts last. I would not do this. Fully insert and thread those bolts to the end first, then tighten the other larger pressure plate bolts according to torque sequence. Then at the end you can also torque these 3 smaller bolts. Doing it the other way can cause these bolts to bind and the whole thing won't fit as it should. Hope this helps someone out there.
