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.

      rb20de neo +t conversion - boost pressure sensor needed?

      By Neostead2000 · Posted

      Agreed with the rest. Also at least based on my own research, there are no readily available stock or close-to-stock RB20Neo maps that you could download and use as a base were you to buy a complete standalone ECU, and the regular 20DET maps don't really work well so you'd need to take it to a tuner if you have no experience. I installed an AEM V2 on my 20Neo+T and had lots of headaches until I got it to run and idle properly but I've yet to remap it fully. You have to start building up your timing and fuel maps entirely from the ground up; even the ones for a 25 didn't work at all.

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      My BMW 335i

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.
