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)

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

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.

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?

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.

      I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋

      Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
