But wouldn't the alarm go off anyway if it is activated and the door is open??

I still don't know how this 'supposed way' is but I'm assuming that somehow he can get the door open without smashing the window?!

Only if my dog don't chew on stuff, I would have her in there guarding my car hehe

Guys,

I'll pull my door apart on the weekend and figure out how its done and also see if I can find out a way to fix it, once I've done that I'll PM people.

Stay tuned.

PS I don't think an alarm will stop them breaking in as it didn't in my case.

Cheers

Cameron

It sounds like there is a method of getting into your car but if you have an alarm / immobiliser then you shouldnt worry about the actual car being stolen.

Only reason to worry would be if you have stuff to steal inside the car - i try to not have valuables in the car when i leave it parked (i.e take the stereo face off) etc. They can steal cd's as i only have burnt cd copies in the car anyways.

Why dont you people just wire up another siren?

Get a piezo siren from dick smith or something; they're only about 10 bucks, but they're 100+DB.. Mount this somewhere hidden IN THE CABIN.. I can guarantee you that no1 can stand even a few seconds.

These sirens are meant for house alarms - the sales person even tried to talk me out of buying it as he recons you'd get deaf... but if a thief wanted to break into the car and steal shit, then I don't care if they get deaf.

If your alarm is triggered, you'll find that your normal siren (under the bonnet) will be louder outside the car, but stick your head inside the car and then you'll see what its like :rofl:

My car got broken into about a month ago. They tried to get the door open as scars suggest, but in the end they just smashed the window.

PM me coz I'd like to know, but I doubt its gonna help. If they want in, they'll get in. Just make sure you get a good immobilizer so they cant get the car without a tow truck.

      Shifting questions

      By DRoc81 · Posted

      This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone

      Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.

      I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.

      I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?

      I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
