hi everyone,

i almost had my car broken into today, someone attempted to break the lock but was distracted, by a mate who lives across the road. My mate said, there have been people looking into my car and walking around it everyday. I have a 3point imoboliser, but i feel tat is not enough, my r33 is my daily driver and i do not want to get a cheap run around car.

What does everyone suggest i do, so i can protect my car from further damage or even theft.

thanks for your input.

Hey mate, what area is this in? ie suburb? To protect your car, you can use visual deterents such as club locks... Alternatively, you can purchase a wheel lock mechanism which bolts around your wheel of the car....

Try park in the garage at home?? If you live with your parents which i assume you do, get them to park infront of your car and park it on the driveway

im not sure, i had nothing valuable showing, its probably casue, my car is there all the time, they know where to find it. Is there such thing as a bigger siren on the alarm so that it will scare them away when the warning beeps go off? What Does my 3point imoboliser do, i have never really cheked that out.

What's with all these attempted thefts in skylines all of a sudden? did all the carjackers have a get together and decide that they'd target our cars now?! ;)

I'm very paranoid about my car now even with the clublock and immobiliser

also, has anyone actually heard of or experienced their car gettin towed away?

Just another thing to be paranoid about! :)

there is one thing u can do. a guys did it in the rs liberty club that i was in before SAU...

When he put his alarm in he installed about 6 sirens all around the car. 2 in the bonnet, 3 inside the car and one in the boot of the car. The ones inside the car were placed 2 under the dash (drivers side) and one under the passangers seat.

this was about a $40k subi so the security had to be good. He left it at a train station one day and caught the train to work, or somewhere. When he got back his window was smashed and the door was unlocked. and one of the shop keepers told him that his alarm had been going off all day. Obvisally he went to the cops and told them what happened they said there wasnt much why could do.

2 days later he got a call from the police saying that there was a guys in hospital that they think broke into his car.

The guy who broke into his car went to hospital 2 days after breaking into his car. Because of the 2 sirens place under the dash on the drivers side, when he was trynig to hot-wire the car both his eardrums burst. If anyone has had their eardrums burst they will know how it feels, it ***n hurts...

So install more sirens. If u cant stop the ***ers deffen them.

P.S. sorry for all the spelling mistakes.

Mustn't have been a smart crook there apleX. You'd think he'd just cut the siren wires, break them off the dash and throw them out of the car before he started trying to hotwire it.

Er, no.

The whole point of putting screamer sirens under/behind the dash is that they are almost impossible to get to especially while going off. The idea is that unlike a siren mounted in the engine bay, you cant just snip the wires or rip off a siren when its mounted behind the dash completely out of reach. Furthermore the best idea is a screamer - try standing near one when its going off let alone being inside a car with it.

that is an idea, but any decent siren has a back-up battery housed within the siren casing so the wires are only for charging the battery and triggering the siren. once it's triggered you can cut all the wires you want it will still be going off.

I think I might also buy a couple of club locks, and modify one so it fits over the clutch, brake,and accelerator and locks them together.

I'm positive I saw something like this (an actual lock made to lock the clutch, brake, and accelerator together) for sale on the uas website years ago... I can't find it anymore though :cheers:

HA!

My old man did a similar thing a few years back cause he was sick of people breaking into his car at the train station just so they could drive it a street away from thier house at 4 in the morning.

It was costing him heaps because they kept breaking the club locks, or in one case bent the steering column because he put it between the wheel and the brake pedal.

Anyway, being an electrician, he figured out a way to wire a really loud tweeter up under the dash that would only sound if the power to the other alarm was cut. So basically, if you were good enough to stick your head under there to cut the wire for the siren in the engine bay, then you were gunna end up with one hell of a headache from the tweeter. :headspin:

Man, I tell ya though, I'm glad I live in quite ol' Newcastle with you lot suddenly getting every 'line in Sydney broken into.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
