dont know if this will be useful to anyone but heres what i did to make my car

hard to steal...

1.Deleted the door locks, LF door RF door AND boot.

2.Disconnected the the rods that control unlocking the door(from the inside)doesnt

effect the alarm at all.

3.Relocated the master switch to where the cup holder use to be(is practicly useless anyway)

also fabricated a panel for it to fit in and coloured to match the interior

4.installed a gearshift lock.(unless they tow it it aint going no where)mounts to chassis and is similar

to a steering wheel lock

and finallly...

5.installed a triple immobliser dynatron alarm (5star NZ rating)

Overkill? i think not!! :D

maybe borderline overkill...lol I clublock my car even in my driveway eventhough i have an alarm. i'd like to see what the shifter lock looks like mounted though.

Yeah, THANKS for broadcasting to the world how to break into my car!! Good piece of anti-theft info there.

your car may get nicked from the same process and then you would say why didnt someone tell me earlier how easy it was. I cut my wire years ago after someone on the forum pointed this flaw out.

from memory it was the brown wire that goes into the switch unit but double check people by doing a search maybe as this is from my dodgy memory....i take no responsibility...ha you could always re join the wire if its the wrong one..lol

my alarm beeps if you are in the vicinity of my vehicle and will go off with a bump to the car or anything moving inside the car. i did spend $800 for that on top of the security from the previous owner. i think it is totally worth it and not overkill......my prestige plate was stolen and my alarm went off but they were gone before i got to car.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
