I have 3 baby magpies that love to fly between a window of a shop and the drivers window of my car. When its wet i end up with 5000x footprints all over the roof and down my back window.

I got the local cop station to take some samples of the foot prints but they are yet to get back to me on which magpie it is. :bahaha:

dont get a car cover. i had one and it didnt stop the cats. all it did was make them slip all over ther place when they jumped off and scratched the car 10 times worse. I like your idea Turbo Tits, dog on bonnet, or I have a semi-automatic 12gauge shot gun you can borrow. :)

Pepper works a treat (the really powdery sort) but leaves dust on your car.

Don't put anything slippery on there... a friend of mine has a Boxster S and saw a cat sitting on his bonnet, yelled at it and it freaked, jumped up to ran away and slipped all over the place while it was trying to run away and scratched the shit out of his bonnet.

I have had this problem myself, several things you can do.

If its only one cat, get rid of it..........................

If you are a cat lover, do not read my previous sentence. Get a cat of your own. A big mean nasty tom cat. It will be boss cat, and keep other cats away. Give your cat a nice warm place to sleep, and it will not show any interest in your car at all.

A really bright light shining down on your car will discourage cats from sleeping there. It shines in their eyes, and they cannot lay on your nice warm bonnet and look around.

p.s Looks like the cats have been getting a little kinky on your bonnet rrroooowwwwr purrr purrr

if i saw a gang of cats having orgies on my bonnet id run for the hose. maybe wait in the bushes and when the time is right give them a good squirting with the hose, a couple goes of this should work nicely. They will associate them jumping on your car with being squirted and hopefully wont do it anymore. :D

just get a car cover...once some cat or some shit got on my bonnet might of jumped off a tree and set off the alarm...i ran outside ready to pound someone...looked around the car nothin weird then i checked the bonnect 3 10cm lines in differerent areas on the bonnet.. Oh well...now i park it only in the garage.

Just buy a dog... Few years ago, when I don't have dog, always have some cats go in my garden, even go into my house when I open the door. Since I have dog, no cat at all.... :)

Isnt a dog on your car worse than a cat on your car?

We had a cat problem on our cars a couple of years ago, and they crapped in the garden aswell. I don't agree with the way my dad did it but it was affective, we never had the problem again. (have dog, but it is chained up at nights so it doesn't run away)

Take 1 Bowl & fill with fresh milk.

Take 6 Panadol and crush into a fine powder.

Combine the powder with the milk and stir.

leave in desired location and wash bol clean in morning.

Never saw the cat(s) again....

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
