4am monday morning i woke up to the sound of a loud car exhaust. looked out the window and saw some top bloke trying to break into my bro's r33. the alarm goes off and the top bloke jumps into a white (standard looking) 180sx which was waiting along side (probably stolen?). we ran outside but they had already sped off. they managed to open the door somehow without any sign of damage and briefly went through the glove box. i guess they knew the car was armed but took their chances anyway. i don't think it was coincidence that the monday week before my girlfriends supra was broken into. car was armed aswell but the lock was pushed in and ignition hole was damaged. car was still armed but no one heard it go off. nothing got stolen.

so beware!

Lucky my dad is a very light sleeper.

Park car next to his window and bam instant alarm. lol

it also helps i park my car in the driveway and well yeh. Dads a light sleeper.

And i wouldnt want to wake up the gorilla at 3 in the morning.

LOL we I do but thats at 3:30 for work. HAHAHAHA

It also helps to live in a grand parents area.

thats scary stuff, lucky nothing got stolen man, what area is this? north, south?

doesnt matter where you live theives will drive all over the state if they think they can get your ride

when had yound ones in my street idleing in front of my house looking for someone/thing so i purposly set my alarm off to shoo them away it worked a treat

northern suburbs

the thing is i recall a white 180sx that used to be parked up the street now i dont see it.. but i havent driven down that end in a while

i havent had much sleep this week coz im thinking they r gonna come back

ready 4 them this time

im not lucky as some people who can park their cars inside.. we dont have the space :)

OMG!!! :P

How bad is Adelaide at the moment...Geez!!!:P

Its the worst feeling when your car gets broken into and people go through your stuff or even worst stole all together... :thumbsup:

Be Safe guys..but suxs how peeps have no respect for other things and its so crap how you have to be with your car 24/7 just to make sure its safe :)

These new alarms with tracking system might be the way of the future but at $2k a pop and then yearly fee for the tracking it gets a bit much :domokun:

Glad they didnt get your car ....hope your not to stressed out :thumbsup:

man that sucks

i went to melb few weeks ago, parked the GTR at the hotel but ive wound down pfc rpm to 500, peace of mind

my car is in locked up carport inside a 2m tall fence, i think im pretty safe

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
