Ok so I totally know nothing about what im about to ask, and that is why I would like to know everyones oppinion.

My Dad works at repco and some customer and him were talking about my car (Dads proud of his little girls car lol) and dad brought up about the increasing number of thefts of skylines latley. This customer told him that under the bonnet of the car is a green fuse that controls the power to everything and on removal of this the car has no power source to start and thats what they do to keep there car safe!!

So whats the go with this? is it good bad or stupid, does it stuff anything up or dissable things?

:thumbsup: Jasmin.

Most likely true but.. Go for a 3 point alarm immobiliser at the minimum these days. Sadly these shifty characters don't need to start your car to take it, just a tow truck, or tilt tray truck. They smash the steering wheel lock(ignition barrel) and steer the car onto the tilt tray. Bye car.

Full insurance, immobiliser, and watch where you park!

Cheers

Interested to know where this fuse is, pics? so the alarm/immob still works yeah?

i take the that fuse out when i got shops i have full alarm system but can never be too safe :thumbsup: and yes cuts any power to ignition and leaves alarm fully armed!

Ok so its a good idea then?

I doubt someone will load my car on a truck while in a busy shopping centre and at night its asleep in a locked up garage.

If the alarm is still active its even better, Could someone discribe to me where this is and how to do it and all that stuff for myself and others??

:( Thanks guys. Jasmin.

well think about it jasmine... who would expect it?

park your car on the street near rundle mall, some big truck comes along and starts loading your car up, some guy says "Hey what you doing?" and they just say, "towing, its parked illegally." no one would care...

get an alarm..

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
