i got it all fixed about a week ago. The only thing i need to do is make a round bit of metal to go over the lock mechanism so u cant stick things in it... they were not sure how i wanted it to look so they just tidied up the buggered lock and left it for me to sort out.

door & handle look like new now... all the little scratches that appear over the years are gone now. be nice to paint the whole car :D

MY Commondore was boken into near Therbaton a while ago, they broke the entire door handle off the drivers side, bent the metal back like yours, put a screw driver or something through the boot lock damaged the boot and so on. The repair cost was $1125 for everything that needed to be done, and during the repair I had them remove the boot lock and replace my boot end with one from a VX (no key lock), and remove the locking mechanism from the drivers door so the car is now entirely remote.

I assume my car will be broken into every time I drive it, if I come back and it hasn't been, it's a bonus. The place is full of motherf*&kers. I park in TTP al the time and have not been broken into there, was hit in the passenger side with a trolley which must have been intentional as it left a lot of small dents and scratches though.

this idea with the alarm addition in the door handle, whats it supposed to do? set the alarm off if someone lifts the handle? or if someone levers the whole handle out? if its the latter.. then if they have levered the handle out, you can basically assume theyd be getting into the car... and to do that they have to open the door once unlocked which would trip the alarm anyhow. am i missing something?

the sooner the alarm goes off the better, no? if the alarm started blazing after a theif had only JUST lifted the handle from the body, i would assume that about 30 seconds or so would be needed to remove the entire handle and find the door lever mechanism. that would feel like a LONG 30 seconds with an alarm going off in your face.

In most cases, the alarm wouldnt go off until the door is wide open and the thief is already in your car. from that moment, only 10 to 15 seconds are needed to grab wateva he/she wants or to do a quick search-and-grab.

in the end, you can never have enough security, even if this may be taking things a little too far.

on the other hand, if someone was going to break into your car to steal something they can see through the window, most of the time they just smash the window, grab your gear and run.

realistically, none of our cars are safe. even though some, like myself, keep their cars securely garaged when not in use, i can recall a few times when ive had to lose sight of my car for a while in public places. and a few seconds is all someone needs, be it with a screwdriver, hammer, or body filler .

someone broke into my mates 200sx in upark in rundle street...the alarm was going off for ages and when they came back to the car they saw someone looking through the boot....so they chased him bashed the shit out of him and waited for the cops we rekon its also tied in with one of the wreckers that might have told him about cos they saw the guy from the wreckers and he said your car might get brocken into tonight laughed then said he was joking...THEn a few weeks later we saw the both of em together at a club we were gonna fark em up but this was during him being charged so my mate thought that if we bash him again it might fark up the court shit.....the wreckers im talking about is Pulsar special.........ill leave the rest for you to figure out

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

A nameless Adelaide car audio joint was also busted providing the names addresses and security information on cars to less noble members of society immediately after car alarms were installed, resulting in regular breakins in the weeks afterward, it was only once they started breaking into cars the same night the alarm was installed that they were busted.

Our 5yr old 55kg Male Rottweiler that stands 75cm's high and is close to 40cm's wide is trained not to bite but to round up people, cats, other dogs with a two words....

Get em'.... :rolleyes:

Funny thing is he is like a big kid.

He enjoys his self so much doing it, as he looks back with a silly look on his face saying look Dad. Lol...

    • LOL.... a good amount of people (not all) on that continent seem to know everything and like to measure things in bananas, football fields, statue of liberties instead of the metric system lol.
    • I assume the modules are similar enough, so if you've had no issues I don't see why I would. I have tried to find a wiring diagram for the FPCM / fuel pump circuit, but I can't find it anywhere. Otherwise, I would just do some wire cutting and joining at the FPCM and give the 12 V supplied to the FPCM directly to the pump instead. If you know anyone that could help with wiring diagrams, I'd be very happy  
    • If it dies, then bypass. The task isn't difficult. I have one running on a standard R32 FPCM. That's after nearly 20 years of it running an 040, which pull substantially more current than the Walbro. They're not the same module, but I'd hope it indicates that the R33 one should be man enough for the job. I think people kill them when putting proper sized pumps on them, not these little toy pumps we're talking about here.
    • Silicone spray won't hurt anything. And if it does, that's an opportunity to put some solid steel spherical bushings in, so you can really learn what suspension noise sounds like, If you're going to try it, just spray one bush at a time, so you can work out which one is actually noisy. My best guess is that if the noise started only since putting the coilovers in, then it is just noise being transmitted up through the top mounts of the struts, and not necessarily "new" noise from bushes. But it's almost impossible to know.
    • Are you saying the 34 is SUV height, and not that we're talking about an SUV here? (because if we're talking about an SUV, you don't fix them. You just replace them when something breaks. Not worth establishing sufficient emotional connection with an SUV to warrant doing any work on one). I wouldn't jack my car up on a short little loop of 10mm steel rod poking out through a hole in the bumper bar, front or rear end. I realise that we're probably not talking about that type of loop at the front, being the one under/behind the bar on a Skyline.... but even for that one, trying to jack up on what amounts to a thin piece of steel, designed purely for withstanding a horizontal tension force, not a vertical compressive force (and so would be prone to buckling/crushing) and, my most particular bitch about it - located RIGHT AT THE EXTREME FRONT OF THE CAR, applying a load up through the radiator support panel, etc, with almost the entire mass of the car cantilevered between there and the rear wheels? Nope. Not doing that. Not on the regular. That structure out there in front of the front crossmember is not designed to carry load in the vertical direction. Not really designed to carry any load at all, really. The chassis rail that the tow point is connected to would be fine loaded in tension, as per towing. Not intended to carry the mass of the whole car, especially loaded all on one rail, with twisting and all sorts of shitty load distribution going on. No, I will happily drive up on some pieces of wood, thanks. That can only happen on driven wheels, and they are at the other end of the car, and this problem does not exist at that end of the car. And even then, I have been known to drive up on at least 1x piece of 2x8 each side at the rear, simply to reduce the amount of jack pumping necessary to get the car up high enough for the jack stands. What really really shits me about Skylines is the lack of decent places for chassis stands at either end of the car. You'd think they'd be designed into the crossmembers.
