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:

micky man im really sorry, f*kkk man we went out on sat night and i was like wowww wdf look at mickys car, micky me jamie and themisses went out for a drive trying to look for it but man tonight ill meet up wit yas and we will try do something, i knwo couple of targets mate, f*kn theives out there why dont yous al JUST GET f**kED and find a job or something better to do then interfeering with other peoples pride and joy, im so gona park my car isn the garage sideways like i used to,

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.

ohh yes whilst on the topic heads up to all..come from a police officers mouth. SKYLINES AT THE MOMENT ARE HOT ON THE MARKET FOR THEFT. theft numbers have risen unbelievably on skylines so please people, learn from me, lock them, check them again, garage them do what you must so you dont have to go through one of the days i just went through.

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.

    • @Haggerty this is your red flag. In MAP based ECU's the Manifold pressure X RPM calculation is how the engine knows it is actually...running/going through ANY load. You are confusing the term 'base map' with your base VE/Fuel table. When most people say 'base map' they mean the stock entire tune shipped with the ECU, hopefully aimed at a specific car/setup to use as a base for beginning to tune your specific car. Haltech has a lot of documentation (or at least they used to, I expect it to be better now). Read it voraciously.
    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
