Just a heads up guys.My son purchased my R33 GTS-T off me when I leased a ForesterXT. Gee I loved that car. Anyway. He drove to golf at Kogarah Golf Course on thursday to play with a mate. he came back to it at 2.15pm and noticed the drivers door was unlocked. On opening the door he found the ignition switch was smashed on the floor but luckily nothing else but some coin and sunnies taken. It looks like the immobiliser stopped them getting away with it. The disturbing thing was they got in without damage to the locks or windows. We got it flat topped home . We were a bit suspious of a car that turned up and parked just opposite and watched us unload the car.I spoke to a mate who is a cop and gave him the rego of the car, though my son found out where the car is from and so we don't think it had anything to do with the attempt

We got a new barrel for the ignition and all is good. While talking to my local import shop they had heard of at least 6 cars stolen in the shire recently.

disable the door unlock button thingy on the drivers side of the car.

+1.. If it isn't disabled, that is exactly how they unlocked the door without braking anything.

It's very easy to slide a shim between the top of the drivers glass all the way down to the button and click, passenger door unlocked.

damn you guys have alot of theft up there in nsw :D

NSW sucks balls.

Skyline owners, actually anyone that owns something of value to thieves, unfortunately need to take precautions.

Alarm, immobiliser, where we park and at what time.

Even then a car can still be stolen.

Walking ftw :dry:

Cut the brown wire. This will disable the switch to open the passenger door. You will still be able to lock the passenger door with this same switch, but not unlock it.

As 'Pauls33' has stated in his DIY thread, the R33 and R34 GTR switch wires are also brown.

Is it the same on a R34 GTT?

      I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car.

      It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.

      If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
