What To Do.

[phenline]

Ok. Well the other day i left my car at the train station (had to be in the city and it was peak hour so i thought i would be better off training it) I parked my car all was well. I got back to my car about 2 -3 hours later all was still fine, or so i thought. I parked my car at home went out blah blah blah when i came back my sister who parks behind be had left a written note saying that "someone looks like they have tried to break into your boot, or into your car via your boot." (i never saw it at the train station or at home because who checks that before they drive?) I was shocked and went out and checked, low and behold some douche had shimmied off the boot lock (there are about three key marks where they have pried it off). Nothing was stolen and they have not been able to get into the car if that is what they where aiming to do (why not just smash my window?) But now i am left with a hole where the lock was how can i fix this? I assume that i cannot just buy a new lock because my key wouldn't fit it? Is there away around this? I was thinking to just get it al filled in and resprayed and thus deleting the lock then just using the boot release to open the boot in the future? Any suggestions or tips would be great.

P.s It is a r32 gtr, if that helps with parts ideas.

Cheers

Unlucky mate, Never had any attempts on my car yet so I've no experience on claims or anything. But this could be a good thing, get the hole covered and remove the badges from the back of your car for a stealth look, you know you've always wanted to

and if the boot cable snaps your f**ked

wont suggest deleteing it.....

however not sure how to fix it, good luck

[br3ndan]

Dam that sucks :S

May i ask which train station it was?

[Rucker34]

maybe go to a wreckers and get a whole new set of locks and barrel for the car. save having a new lock put in and needing a second key. though it seems like a lot of effort.

i would rather have 2 keys.

You should be able to buy a new lock either secondhand or new from Nissan. Take it to a lock smith like "Diamond Lock And Key" in Osborne Park (Main street) and get them to redo it to accept your current key. Saves you from having to have different keys for different locks.

Hey champ What F(*ks they must prob going for a sound system which is known to happen alot! their not much you can do besidse try to park it else,

sucks tho cnart do much

(Shave the boot lid so no lock use the lever) ?

[BOOOSTN]

delete it mate, if it does snap which it wont then you just remove your rear seat to open it and then go from there

[SKYRYAN]

Yeah I was gonna ask before... I assume the 32 GTRs you can get into the boot form the back seat?

33 you cant, so I wouldn't delete it on a 33 just in case

If its bugging you that much Ross, we can swap cars.

[lunjiaow]

Maybe you can get a new key barrel and take it to the locksmiths and they will cut the barrel to your key.

Not sure how much the barrel will cost itself, but it beats getting a secondhand one which means you will have to carry an extra key.

By the way, my one is deleted.

[NA_Goodness]

I can get into the boot from my back seats, just takes a while to get the battery out and squeeze through.

Shave it, looks so much better that way

[phenline]

thanks for the Suggestion Brad. So any gtr32 key barrel will do? Or can i use like a r33 one or any other models one? and then they will just configure it to take my key? Any idea how much that will cost? it will be that or deleting the lock i guess depends on how easy either one is hrmmm. Suck like why couldnt they have just left the key barrel after they f**ked with it it would have been no use to them .

[Richy08]

they weren't trying to break in, just bading your nissan badge.

mines the same, the nissan badge is missing =(

[inthisglass]

^^^ mate 32s dont have the nissan badge over the lock thats 33's

i want to smooth my boot on my car, looks better imo but i'd be pretty pissed if the cable did break ><

[SCR34M]

pissed the same as if a tyre blew?, the same as if alarm is too sensitive?, same as intercooler piping coming off... my point here is shit happens, so who cares, shave ftw...

[Kerr34]

my alarm is too sensative ahaa dont go brushing past my car or putting tickets on it ahaha.. it will go offfffffffffffffffffffff
