does anyone know what these buggers are actually doing to steal them?

do they unlock the doors eg - with thick steel wire to hit the passenger door unlock button on the drivers door main switch panel? -thats one of those things you'd be stupid not to disconnect. but then again if they try long and hard enough, they could probably even unlock the drivers door lock itself.

and what do they do to start them up? it is just like hotwiring any car?

one would think immobilizers actually do something...!

this is fking madness! i would love to catch one of these c*nts!

yeah dude...my silvia got stolen once from my garage..f*k dude...if i had a gun id shoot this mfkrs..im serious..the way they took my car was by f*kn up the key barrell..they took out the plastic bit at the end and then vala..thats all..u just need a screw driver to start, and the other thing my alarm wasnt on...so it was more easier...but the car was found in 3 weeks...stereo stolen ignition damaged.

is there such product that locks the key/ignition barrell? a plate or something you put over the key slot?

Basically, I was amazed how easy it was with absolutely NO sign of damage what's soever..... scary really :S

Note: don't want to detail how it was done, people don't always need to know every detail.

fact is if they want your car that badly. it's theirs. i liked the idea of removeable steering wheels. cool and very effective hah. but another alternative is to get a direct kill switch to your fuel pump. just hide the switch under your seat or something. good luck trying to start the car without fuel!!!! they can twiddle with wires in the dash for as long as they want ;)

thats exactly what ive done. cept not under the seat! :D

Not jumping to conclusions but last night I parked behind a white S2 33 type M with stock wheels and CC plates. They came from out of the house it was parked in front, looked at me suspiciously (I was in my 33 and expected some 33 mutual respect) and drove off. The only other thing I can remember about it was it's exhaust. Do you know what kind of exhaust is on it, Ryan?

Yeah sounds about right. They guy drove off nicely, like it's not as if he was driving it like he stole it but if you like I can find out the street address etc of where it was and PM it to you and you can go from there. I saw it in Belair (near Blackwood)

I just messaged my mate who lives on the street. He should know what number the house is. He also saw it with me and made the comment that that guy (who is the boy friend of some girl at the address) has had a few different import cars.

    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
