Hey Guys,

Thinking of implementing something like an anti-theft system that arms all metal exterior surfaces on the car with a decent current, enough to provide a good shock to anyone attempting to steal the car.

Anyone have any ideas on how to implement it? I'm thinking i'll need to switch out all electronic gear so it doesn't get fried when the car is armed.

lol... Sounds to me like you will need 40,000gigawatts of electricity to run this alarm (the kind of power you get from a lightning strike), then all you have to do is get the car to 80m/hr but not sure what your going to do about the flux capacitor, I checked on ebay and can't find any, they must of sold out.

lmao :)

I can say yes I have done it on a few cars, not fence controllers, but E-stem machines, and point contact tasers taken apart for us on a ferrari testarrosa door handles( USA)

but your asking for trouble using them here in OZ, the crooks have too many rights to sue you ????

and No I wont provide details for use here so dont PM me.

best option is to deter them before they touch the car, visual deterents, microwave sensors, multi layer security or just common sense not to park in shonky area in the first place. remove all items from view helps a lot.

even a 6 buck steering wheel club will delay a crim for a few seconds more then he likes ..if used in conjuction with a alarm

best thing to do after you buy all the components to do this is get yourself a really good lawyer.

the first person to be injured, even a thief could sue you for damages.

the cops would most likely do you for intention to mame or building a mantrap, either one would be jail time...

If you put a pretty clear warning sign on your car saying it's electrified would it still be illegal? It's no longer a mantrap this way, it's kind of like having an electric fence is it not? Besides it's your private property, it shouldn't really be touched anyway..

The 2yo kid story is kind of scary tho, but a 2yo kid could also touch an electric fence..

EDIT: As for the low power tingler, it looks like that could be the sort of device they use in those games that give you a little zap is it enough? I've never touched an electric fence before (always pussied out..... like a boss) but how does it compare?

And 30three is more than likely right, a little zap would really piss off a thug if they had an intention.

I asked a mate before replying to this, he is a cop, pretty high up on his definition of a man trap. He looked into it and told me that under the definition of the law it is any device purposely made to harm, mame or kill a person. Your device would fall into this catagory.

As for a warning notice, even if you had one you'd get your ass handed to you in court.

there have been plenty of cases already through the courts where there have been clear warning signs and people have been hurt.

those people that have been hurt have sued and won big time. Even in the case of people either doing stupid or illegal things.

an electric fence around a property is a little different than what you are proposing as the fence is not on public land, such as a car park, but on private land.

however having said that, its my understanding that even someone injured on private land, even while trying to commit a crime can sue.

you have to look at it this way dude, there are so many things that could go woring, why open yourself up to potential dmages.

we already had the example of a child...

what about someone with a pacemaker, a small amount of current can cause them to fail.

or if your electrical device malfunctioned after a collision

or if your electrical device caused a collision

or if you were to park against something and somehow it caused a fire.

etc, etc...

there are plenty of decent ways to protect your car, but if your really that paranoid about it i would suggest

sell your car and buy a car you dont car about..

if i was to flog a car, and it gave me a zap such as one from a electric fence (doesnt hurt, not even as bad as rubbin ur feet on the carpet n giving a shock like that) anyway, not only would i laugh about it and drain as much of the power i could by continuing to touch it, i would probably kick the crap out of the car, pore brake fluid over it, etc etc

Think like a crime, u screw with them when they screwing you, better hope your better at it then they are.

Also i wouldnt mind betting that insurance wouldnt touch you with a 10foot pole if u have it installed and have a accident whilst driving.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
