Why do we bother having nice cars and maintaining nice cars when little shit heads come along and wreck them. My bootlid latch is now half hanging off thanks to some little pricks that either had nothing better to do or were trying to break into my car via the boot. Not to mention the 2 key scratches left on my boot by some other little **** nuts just after I had it cut and polished. So now I'm left with a useless boot lock, with the option being I buy another one and I have 2 keys to get into my car or I just pull it off, seal it up and I have to open the boot via the latch inside... thanks. Not sure where this happened at home or at work, but I get the feeling it was at work today... **** I hate cannington, full of shit heads.

This happened to me too a while ago..... I looked around and found a new lock from a wrecker, stripped the two locks down and swapped the badge's.... End up costing me around $80 and about an hour of my time. I didn't need two keys either.

Rob - my car was also badged in Cannington (at the sevenoaks college) now I have a stupid hole in the side of my car. I am in two minds about whether to put a cheap nismo or something similar badge there or to get the GT badge... but why waste my money when it will just get stolen again. The thing that annoys me the most is that its prolly stupid little kids with no car - just so they can put the badge in their collection in their room.

well the only way to open my boot is from the latch inside ..... so something similars probably happened to my car before it changed hands.

My mum had her car keyed down the side in High Wycombe ....... just makes me so angry that jealous pricks will wreck your property and theres really not much that can be done about it. :)

Yeah, same thing happens at the shops. If you catch someone stealing you cant call them a thief or hurt them whilst detaining them... screw that, give them a few wacks while no-ones looking and just say that tripped over or ran into something :) I get the feeling I know who it was who did it... over the last 2 weeks been getting a lot of little aboriginal kids in the store and I've been throwing them out, although my cars parked at the back, I wouldnt be suprised if they walked around and decided they wanted the nissan badge off the back. I cant understand that, its not like its a special skyline badge, its just a plain old nissan badge that protects the keyhole... I could understand if it was a skyline badge or something, cos you cant get them that easily...

Totally agree - what do they get out of doing crap like that, let's face it what are they going to do with them.

Although not bad, I had my tyre valve caps (all 4) stolen not long after I got my car - they were shiny red metal ones that were on the car from Japan. Its not that they got nicked (can't believe some people would even bother) but that someone got that close to my car without me or anyone else knowing. That is what worries me but thank goodness they did nothing else. Needless to say just have plain black plastic ones from Big W on there now.

Cheers, Al

I went to the shops once and came out a different exit to approach my car from the other direction to spy a tu*d starting to lever off my guard badge. Got right next to him without him knowing and stood over him as he was crouching beside the car hiding. When he looked up in shock I never said a word but punched him fair in the lughole. Talk about squeeling like a stuck pig:) He scampered off still squeeling and holding his ear.

Geez that was satisfying

At the shops someone just walked past my Corolla and grabbed the strip that runs down the side of the windscreen and tore it up so it was sticking out when we came back to the car. What makes people do that? There is no money to be made by destroying others car for no reason other than to watch the person get P*$#ed off when they come back. Ah well. Rob, hope you find a boot lock at a reasonable price.

    • Yes the gear for the R33/34 is different, it is red and has a different number of teeth. My part didn't come with that gear though, so I don't know how many teeth are on the red one. You'd have to reuse the 260RS/R33 gear, as long as it's not destroyed.   Haha, as unfortunate as that might be it was working fine for about the first 1500km I've had the car for now.
    • Update all   thanks to the workshop manual, it lead me back to checking fuses as mentioned central locking and door open lights worked when acc was switched on. diagram attached shows two points of power 1. ACC and 2.  Batt with the later being fused (#28) I did check the fuses using a multimeter but I must have stuffed that up also. Went back and checked the batt fuse in interior fuse box and you wouldn’t believe it… a blown fuse. replaced fuse and everything is now working as it should including the climate control   thank you all with your positive insight and knowledge.    
    • Where is the warning "That this thread is super old"   I just went into a 5 year old thread, went to do a reply, and couldn't see anywhere obvious a warning of it being super old
    • Duncan is correct. Pitwork (and Toyota's own cheap brand "Drive Joy") were primarily created as brands to sell other manufacturers car parts. It would be weird if Nissan sold parts for Toyota vehicles with a Nissan logo on it, so they created Pitwork to sell parts for other brans Toyota, Honda etc. They are not the same as Nissan genuine parts, although they *do* meet Nissan's standards for replacement parts. They aren't supposed to be a substitute for genuine parts, but a cheaper alternative that is better than Ebay fake parts from you-know-where.
