Club locks dont work.

I had an old car of mine broken into while i wasnt near it for about an hour and i come back - club lock on the floor broken in pieces.

Its not a deterrent at all. Only thing that saved my car from being flogged - i had a fuel isolation switch hidden (i have a love for hidden switches/buttons to prevent stealing) :(

Maybe a bit of a deterrent though? I mean, most thieves will want to be in and out of the car in a few minutes. Surely it would take more that a few minutes to saw through a Club lock?

Where could I get one of these switches set up? It sounds great.

I use the club lock as a visual deterant for the average jacker. i see floors in my viper alarm that makes me not trust it hence the club lock just to up the thiefs risk assesment hoping they move onto another easier car. at the end of the day if they're willing to saw my steerign wheel and club lock theres nothing much more i could do other than kill switches. then again he'd probably be onto his mate to get the flatbed around. bloody criminals!!

as for a club lock suggesting you dont have an alarm, most alarm nowdays have flashing leds. a quick kick of the tyre will tell if you have an alarm or not too. I say having a club lock there is better than not having one if you have no alarm at all.

all this club lock talk takes me back to big kevs pic at sandown of the guy with the club lock in his head after a stack...ouch.

for the new skyline owners out there, invest in a decent security setup first instead of mods. i take it the car wasnt insured maybe as the first thing they would have asked for is to get aus approved immobiliser??

i think the club lock can work against you. Thieves may walk past your car, see the clublock on the wheel and assume that you dont have an alarm and then try to break into it.

This is true, I can imagine this scenario :( Just hope it doesn't happen to me, or anyone else from this forum.

Well it didnt deter the guys who had a crack @ my car. Was a Sat night @ the Palace car park too, so lots of people around and they still made an absolute mess of the window/club lock/steering wheel etc etc. Honestly i couldnt care less what interior dmg is done, long as the car is still there thats all i give a stuff about.

My mate is in Deer Park and will customise any install to suit what you want, what you want, how you want.

Honestly though if you become a SAU-Vic member and its much much cheaper for you (you'll save more than your membership fee on the alarm install discount) :ph34r:

OKAY OKAY NOW THAT IVE COMPOSED MYSELF I CAN REPLY TO THIS THREAD..

first of all tony thanks man for being there for me lookin for my car it meant the world to me i owe you mate.

2nd of all sicky this saturday night tony cause were going cruising hahahahaha..

now to recap.

yes the car has been found, the 2nd car stolen that night was driven into a pole, my car from what i have been told not a scratch on the body except for a busted ignition barrel and a damaged centre console. as far as i know all the parts are still there.. including my SP1's :P:D:D:D:D:D

Jakez88 - Mate im not going to lie to you, i did shed a tear over those rims, but having said that, it was those exact rims that made scum like this look twice at the car in the first place. LOCK NUTS FTW

DNGRUS- as happy as he is, i am over the moon with joy at the moment, hence the reason i am posting this at 5am.. still cant sleep, too excited lol

Basti - ALARM IS BEING ORGANISED A.S.A.P

just want to thank everyone on here for the support it means a lot and also like to point out that the car is going in for finger printing this morning, so hopefully something will come up there and that, along with the surveilance footage should be enough to give these bastards what they deserve.

THANKS AGAIN

mate, did you have insurance? if yes, are you covered without an alarm?

how long have you had the car for?

hey mate had the car for just under a year now.. yes i am covered by 3rd party. but thankfully now, there is no need to make a claim on the car.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.
