Hamish does have a valid point although something that really stumps me is why isn't an alarm system the first thing you get when you buy your pride an joy? ~$400 protection for your $12,000+ investment sounds pretty reasonable to me

It was on the stagea and 32 :)

club locks are/can be more effective and cheeper, if a thief is keen enough the noise from the alarm won't be a deterant. if you have a aftermarket steering wheel tho. don't bother 6 allen key bolts and swapped wheel is quicker then by-passing a alarm.

I put a imob and stuff in 1 of my cars and they still came back and stole it. (it was broken into a week before)

So how did the key's get locked in the car while it was on in the first place?

no idea ?

i am sure the car locked itself when i closed the door ?

the immobilser/keyless entry was on the keys

viper alarm?

they are american and have anti car jacking features such as the doors locking while you are driving...

BUT

as i said, they are american and hence it only works ever now and then, so you often dont notice that its there as you just think its the factory nissan one

quick relese steering wheel, lets see the bugger drive off with no steering wheel! and yeh skyines are the worst car eva designed takes about 11sec flat to unlock one and about 15sec to hotwire one with a turbo timer.

VLT has got to be easier :) my old VL was a joke to get into, all you needed was cutlery LOL

I think Hamish was more concerned about the instruction to pull the rubber back than the actual coat hanger to window switch part, but whatever.

How do you getting around steering column lock without totally removing the barrel?

need some help

i locked my key in the car ( car is still running ! )

running the car dry cant be good for it ?

anyone know a locksmith in melbourne ?

how much is going to cost me to open it ?

Nick, you idiot, this is too funny.... ba ha ha ha

Thats ridiculous I keep a Stanley knife in the back of my cars tool box....probably should go take it out

I think its only if it is in reach when you are inside the cabin of the car. If its in the boot in your tool box none the less its alright.

A mate of mine locked his VL keys inside his car. We went and got another one of my mated VL keys and it opened the door. It even started the engine.

just rip of the plastic cover for the colum and hit the barrel down the shaft done. dont hit it into the shaft stright down it will slide down the the steering colum and wont beable to lock into place but if you engage the steering lock before you do that it makes it a messy job.

you can get gps alarms now, they have a gps device in them and a sim card that texts you the location when you msg it.

best thing to do is get a guard dog that sleeps next to it and have good insurance.

do you think its wise to put information on a public forum on how to get around the steering wheel lock?

Thats pretty bad luck OP, i've seen the same thing happen on a VS commodore before, and it was eventually broken into with a piece of wire. try lockign the doors with the keys in your hand at all times maybe?

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
