Ah that sux... :P

You mean the rubber strip between the top of the window and the door thingy? or the plastic between the window and the door (ie. when you roll the window down that plastic strip)

Try justjap? or someone selling R33 parts?

lowlifes!

scary enough - i had been having problems with my central locking. It would lock but then would not unlock. Had to open my car using a screw driver and a coat hanger a few times until i had time to take the door trims off and fix the problem.

I took the lock barrels out of my door locks and filled the hole with arildite to make it a bit more difficult for some bastard to steal.

Now im a but scared because i can get into it so so easy.

Good to see ya car wasnt nabbed or anything taken.

Which car park at Castle Towers and where?

The original (old) cinema car park, or the new cinema car park?

Looks like what they've tried to do is push that button on the drivers side which unlocks the passenger door. Disable this switch asap if you haven't already. Take the door trim off and cut the wires.

new cinema car park on the top level

which coloured wires do ya have to cut to disable that? dun wana go cutting the rong wires, lol

is there any way you can activate electrical current through your door key hole when you arm your alarm so if someone tries to stick a screw driver into it it'll do a bit of damage?

theres an idea for alarm manufacturers!

rofl!! just hook up the 12v batt to the keyhole so when the alarms on it would zap any1 that touches it :) ... if needed put in a small step up transformer, for that added "ouch" effect :)

can't remember. Use a test light and see which one lights when you push the door unlock switch. :D

There is a thread somewhere.

    • 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?
