At Carousal Fast Eds yesterday, i spotted some dude taking a few shots off his digicam of my car...either that or my friend's car(180SX) cos we were parked side by side...:Paranoid:

anybody had this happen to them? hope it's not going to be marked by some elaborate car thieves ring or something...i mean my car is fairly standard:rolleyes:

looking behind to see anybody suspicious following me now on the road:Paranoid:

i had this happen to me at work but nothing happended when i approached the guy he ran off i was expecting my car to get piched every days for weeks so i know how you feel

i jsut get little kids come up and go - look mum its a skyline .... running their grubby little vegemite stained fingers over the back badge .... look its a skyline .... and mums just standing their going so?? ..... but its quite impressive little 5 yr olds knowing quality when they see it :P :P

im sure it was just someone appreciating your car ..... someone has video footage of mine ..... just decided to start rolling their video camera when mine was at the lights one day.

Unless they are hi-tech crims or just little fags walkin about with a digicam, waiting to find a line to jerk off to, then i wouldnt really worry too much, there are only two ways to steal a skyline.. dentpuller + knowledge and bashing the person for the keys :P And i doubt many people would have enough knowledge to get past an alarm/immobiliser (dick smith sell radar scanners for codes for immobilisers.. these should be banned i think. thats how people get away with stealing bmw's etc.)

whilst on the topic of video footage.. im thinking of getting the digicam out and getting some doooriiiftooo action onto cd :D Ill edit all the number plates and faces if need be.. im just waiting for my welded 4.1:1 diff and 14' stockers :P And then you can see a stock.. 'ish' R31 Auto RB30 drift... i should submit a form to Ripleys believe it or not..

why the negativity? a dentpuller is a tool used by panel beaters to pull out dents from cars.. (and this is a car forum :D) it is a long bar with a screw up one end, and a handle up the other. There is a big weight that slides up and down the bar, which can be thrusted back (after being screwed into the lock) and make just about any ignition shit itself.. it is also commonly known as a slidehammer and can be purchased from any marlows for $30 :( max

Basically..

If i seen you and you had an immobiliser, all i would have to do is just run up to your car, screw the dentpuller in the door, BANG, door lock out, open, ignition, BANG, ignition out, start and whalla.. because you are going through the ignition, there is no steering lock, and if you do this in under 30 secs, then the immobiliser doesnt come on, and if you stall the car, it doesnt come on, and if you leave the car, just dont turn it off on. I really shouldnt be giving this information out, as it could be used to steal my car :D But since people are worried about their cars so much, buy an alarm with NO delay.. none of this 30 seconds bullshit. Still, a well prepared thief can steal anything. The only foolproof method is get a laser cut key thingy.. only that specific key will work, it has electronic shit in it, so that when you bust out the ignition with a dentpuller, it will just trigger the alarm :) A little expensive, but a must have for your R34 GTR 10 second car :D

I was going to study criminology at uni, but ive opted for social work, if you are wondering why i know so much :D

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
