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!

from memory i memba my old man telling me one of his mates did this to his car back in the day... they used a capacitor so it charges up and lets it out in a burst... worked pretty good he said...

6 months ago, I got the locks on my '95 Corolla sedan changed because they were getting old and crunchy. Yeah I know, it's a 'Rolla but hey, I'm on my L's. I share the car with my sister (skyline comin in 2 months!). The bill for the two locks was $400...older parts are so expensive aren't they?

Now a week after that, when my sister was at work in The Rocks, she finished her shift at 1 a.m. only to find that they key wouldn't fit in the drivers side lock. Someone had tried to break in. Obviously they were amateurs because even I think I could break into my car! However the lock was completely broken, and as it turned out the end of a knife was snapped inside it. Cost another $200 to get a new lock.

The next week, same time, same bloody day of the week, it happens again. The lock was completely mangled and again something snapped in it. Another $200 to get it repaired.

Now in total this has cost us $800.

We went to the police in The Rocks. They knew it was a gang of kids. We already knew that - just down the road from where she works is some youth hall or something. They are obviously practicing on older vehicles and I bet they are going to have fulfilling lives as professional scumbags when they are older.

This is a warning to anyone who goes to The Rocks. Don't leave your car there for long - make sure it's alarmed - and watch out for these punks.

Before you say 'don't drive into the city', let me explain. There is no other viable way of transport into the rocks and more importantly, transport out, late at night - without paying an expensive cab fare both ways. Parking somewhere else or in a pay parking car park would be risky as it means my sister would have to walk through dodgy areas to get to her car. The situation is screwed.

      I'd try the Jaycar one first. Don't even bother with replacing the passthroughs, as they will still work provided the melting is only minor and they still seal and insulate. You can always go back and replace those later. After you've put the new crimps on, you just have to make the pump work for a bit, then go back there and laser gun the terminals (or touch if you're brave enough) to see if they are sufficiently cool to relieve your concern. You might want to gather a data point with the old setup first, to see how hot they get now.

      This might be another option too if the surgery allows for a straight lug to be used. Jaycar rates them at 30 amps -  https://www.jaycar.com.au/6mm-non-insulated-eye-terminal-4mm2-pack-of-8/p/PT4932

      @GTSBoy Makes sense.  I'm guessing we'd have to use a cable lug, its tricky finding lugs suited for wire smaller then 0 gauge, but this looks like it might work? https://au.element14.com/panduit/lca10-10f-l/terminal-compression-lug-10-10awg/dp/2944903?CMP=KNC-GAU-GEN-SHOPPING-PLA-PMAX&mckv=_dc|pcrid||pkw||pmt||slid||product|2944903|pgrid||ptaid||&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw4ri0BhAvEiwA8oo6F3hR5QEQH43vntEUad27nYgwWzBmgdiYNqiQLBMe3C9pkkncxgv3oRoCciEQAvD_BwE Just need to do some surgery on the bottom of the bulkhead as even fitting the tiny ring connectors space is tight.  But now that I'm in this situation, do I buy another stock bulkhead and give the bigger lugs a go or do I just drop $1000 on a frenchy setup? Hmmm.

      Yeah, see, I think I've worked out what is happening here. You (and other people) buy these massive "40 amp rated" pass throughs, and use fat wires, then make the connection between them using a ring crimp that has a much smaller cross section in that piece in the neck between the crimp and the ring terminal than any other part of the system. And it gets hot there. And because it is very well connected to the passthrough....that gets hot too. We probably need to be using more chunky wire terminations.

      R33 GTST weird idle?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Disconnecting a coilpack/injector isn't 100% on identifying anything other than the suspect cylinder.   If doing it you note one in particular makes no difference at all, you've got a total miss on that cylinder, it could still be for numerous reasons. If you do it, and one cylinder affects the idle less than all the others, now you t least have a suspect cylinder. I'd be doing a compression check on all cylinders first up. If they're out of spec, do a leak down on it too.   Secondly, grab a video of this idle and stick it up here.
