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 don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
