hey guys

yesterday morning, went outside to find my mums car has been broken into AGAIN

nothing stolen, just rummaged thru the whole damn thing

im puzzled as to how the f**k they got in there without breaking anything because once again.

the door was just open and im adamant i had locked the car the night before

just be aware that this shits happening in the northern burbz more frequently now

10-20 seconds with packing tape and you're in. Not hard really.

They were probably there for all of 1-2mins.

Get an alarm.

please explain

it does have an alarm. thats what baffles me

and its not an old car that would be easy as f**k to get into

its an 05 territory

Go talk to an racv guy, they can get into anything, obviously someone has learnt how to do it.

As for the alarm, maybe you didnt turn it on, and if cars are getting broken into that much in your area maybe you should leave them open, leave nothing in there so after they go through shit they will leave without breaking a window to get in.

A Ford? :)

Fords are one of the hardest cars on the market to break into.

unless

They have altered the door locking mechanism to the fowlcans... if they are using a different system then ok fair enough. However if the same certainly one of the hardest systems to get into.

You left the door unlocked IMO, if you can't be sure of locking it.

Do you know if the alarm even works? Have you tested it out?

im 100 % sure the doors were all shut because the car will not look and will start making a funny beep noise if you leave a door open and try to lock it

alarms working but i suspect its faulty so were gona get that checked out

gfs parents had they're new territory broken into this year aswel in glen multilevel carpark, alarm didnt go off either. No sign of forced entry or nothing.

.Ive seen RACV getinto a mates import...took him about 20seconds and nothing even close to damaging the car.....pretty scary actually to know they can do it so quick and quietly. specially if they;re telling family members how to do it who tells a friend who tells another friend... n so on.

Well, i'm in the South East Suburbs, and generally we've only had 1 car broken into and that was a old Nissan Pulsar. At the moment we have about 3 cars sitting out the front of my house including a VL Commodore, R31 Skyline (My baby) and a Mitsubishi Lancer CE. Apart from that we generally park our cars on our front lawn during the night time and keep the Lancer in the driveway so if we hear anything it is generally easy to run out the front and smash them over the head with a wrench. It's fairly good having parents that wake up over the tiniest of noises, :). But yeah i guess as long as you take your head unit with you every night when you go in or your head unit is the firmly locked in ones you should be ok, :).

If there been more than once, it could just be some punk kids that have parents with the same car?

if you cant leave your car in the garage, a cheap camera may be very useful if you think it will happen again.

"10-20 seconds with packing tape and you're in. Not hard really.

Yer people do this for a living an bring it to an art.

lol well our garage is small and is MY territory, my domain and im pretty much emptying it for the 260z i intend on buying

were gona soon have a

ba XR8 ute( dads baby),

my uncles freshly repaired merc,

mums territory

my dads merc 4x4( probably sold by then)

ASWELL as my hilux surf out the front( ill park it so it blocks the other cars)

all in a narrow drive way so if i do wake up the fronts full of cars and they might have a hard time getting out :)

    • Convert to dual filament bulb   FWIW, it will look odd - I dare say a bit dumb as it looks like your flasher relay has shit the bed.
    • If the RB20 box in the car is a push clutch, then yes, you will need to deal with the pull clutch on the turbo box. You either buy a pull clutch and don't use the old one, or you do the things needed to convert the turbo box's clutch arrangement over to push. Which is a bit of a f**karound. "Making" a custom tailshaft is the easy part. But you will need to source the front clip yoke - the bit that goes into the output of the gearbox. These are not as easy to find. They are out there, but they don't grow on trees the way that they used to.
    • Indicator bulbs are way too bright to use as a "corner marker" (we call them parking lights too). Sure. Go ahead and do it. But realise that you wil need to come up with all your own wiring to do it, as no-one will have a standard howto worked out for Skylines. It's just a matter of abandoning everything that Nissan have done and starting from scratch. You'd probably be better off retrofitting tailght/brakelight globe bases into the front indicator housings and using the taillight circuit for your corner marker and the brake light as the indicator. You'd need to work out how to kill the marker circuit while the indicator is flashing, otherwise it won't flash on-off, just bright-less bright.
    • Hi. A little bit of an update. It maybe(hope not) looks like i would need a new tranny(it would be "maybe" a cheaper or better option anyway) So i need some info. I know i need a different propshaft(i can make custom one) LSD is not a problem cuz the engine will be still(for now) N/A RB20. So if i buy RB25DET NEO tranny...is there something else i need? I read something about push/pull type but i do not know if i need to "change" something or i can just plug n play onto my engine a go? Thanks for the advice  
    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
