I would check with your insurance company first. A lot of them include 1 replacement windscreen per year without having to pay an excess. Check your policy or call the insurance company up. Can't hurt.

If you don't have insurance...GET SOME!

Sorry to hear about your car. People should learn that you don't f**k with another persons car.

Fkn sucks, I know how it feels unfortunately. What compels senseless attacks has got me fkd

I had both my front and rear screens on my LX Torana (hatch) sledge hammered and even 15-16 years ago the rear glass was a little difficult to come by.

cheaper to go aftermarket bonnet but most arent legal and if you want to paint it the cost will jump

R34 windshield , just about any Auto glass shop should be able to get one but I could be wrong

bad luck , stupid assholes in this town who vandalize anything and everything, so sic of it

guess you need a alarm that makes noise ????? and this guy on your lawn. what area do you live in, the hood ????

RAA Plus also will cover you for one windscreen per year

If they keep playing hard ball, your best bet is someone at least one position higher on the food chain than the person who answers your call.

I've claimed with them without fuss in the past, as has one of my mates. The claim investigators were actually very helpful in both providing detailed information on request and from my end seemed to put up a good fight. As with most companies keep the story straight and your claim will move a long a lot faster.

As far as I'm aware you need an ADR approved immobiliser (that includes pita auto arm feature enabled) to be covered for vehicle theft with Just Car, a brick through the window should be covered anyway?

Then again if you're excess is anything like mine it might be cheaper to just go buy a window :happy:

Where abouts was this? Happened to a mate of mine and his mrs's car parked in front of their house last thursday night. Same thing, brick through their rear windows (both of them), they live around old reynella.... f**king scum! :happy:

yayyyy! reynella! the suburb of scum where people steal your petrol, break all windows in your car and steal everything in it, smash your drivers side window just 'because' and break into your car and steal your sub and dd speakers....and this has all happened in my street. boooooo reynelllaaaa

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Power is fed to the ECU when the ignition switch is switched to IGN, at terminal 58. That same wire also connects to the ECCS relay to provide both the coil power and the contact side. When the ECU sees power at 58 it switches 16 to earth, which pulls the ECCS relay on, which feeds main power into the ECU and also to a bunch of other things. None of this is directly involved in the fuel pump - it just has to happen first. The ECU will pull terminal 18 to earth when it wants the fuel pump to run. This allows the fuel pump relay to pull in, which switches power on into the rest of the fuel pump control equipment. The fuel pump control regulator is controlled from terminal 104 on the ECU and is switched high or low depending on whether the ECU thinks the pump needs to run high or low. (I don't know which way around that is, and it really doesn't matter right now). The fuel pump control reg is really just a resistor that controls how the power through the pump goes to earth. Either straight to earth, or via the resistor. This part doesn't matter much to us today. The power to the fuel pump relay comes from one of the switched wires from the IGN switch and fusebox that is not shown off to the left of this page. That power runs the fuel pump relay coil and a number of other engine peripherals. Those peripherals don't really matter. All that matters is that there should be power available at the relay when the key is in the right position. At least - I think it's switched. If it's not switched, then power will be there all the time. Either way, if you don't have power there when you need it (ie, key on) then it won't work. The input-output switching side of the relay gains its power from a line similar (but not the same as) the one that feeds the ECU. SO I presume that is switched. Again, if there is not power there when you need it, then you have to look upstream. And... the upshot of all that? There is no "ground" at the fuel pump relay. Where you say: and say that pin 1 Black/Pink is ground, that is not true. The ECU trigger is AF73, is black/pink, and is the "ground". When the ECU says it is. The Blue/White wire is the "constant" 12V to power the relay's coil. And when I say "constant", I mean it may well only be on when the key is on. As I said above. So, when the ECU says not to be running the pump (which is any time after about 3s of switching on, with no crank signal or engine speed yet), then you should see 12V at both 1 and 2. Because the 12V will be all the way up to the ECU terminal 18, waiting to be switched to ground. When the ECU switches the fuel pump on, then AF73 should go to ~0V, having been switched to ground and the voltage drop now occurring over the relay coil. 3 & 5 are easy. 5 is the other "constant" 12V, that may or may not be constant but will very much want to be there when the key is on. Same as above. 3 goes to the pump. There should never be 12V visible at 3 unless the relay is pulled in. As to where the immobiliser might have been spliced into all this.... It will either have to be on wire AF70 or AF71, whichever is most accessible near the alarm. Given that all those wires run from the engine bay fusebox or the ECU, via the driver's area to the rear of the car, it could really be either. AF70 will be the same colour from the appropriate fuse all the way to the pump. If it has been cut and is dangling, you should be able to see that  in that area somewhere. Same with AF71.   You really should be able to force the pump to run. Just jump 12V onto AF72 and it should go. That will prove that the pump itself is willing to go along with you when you sort out the upstream. You really should be able to force the fuel pump relay on. Just short AF73 to earth when the key is on. If the pump runs, then the relay is fine, and all the power up to both inputs on the relay is fine. If it doesn't run (and given that you checked the relay itself actually works) then one or both of AF70 and AF71 are not bringing power to the game.

      @PranK can you elaborate further on the Colorlock Dye? The website has a lot of options. I'm sure you've done all the research. I have old genuine leather seats that I have bought various refurbing creams and such, but never a dye. Any info on how long it lasts? Does it wash out? Is it a hassle? What product do I actually need? Am I just buying this kit and following the steps the page advises or something else? https://www.colourlockaustralia.com.au/colourlock-leather-repair-kit-dye.html

      These going to fit over the big brakes? I'd be reeeeeeeeaaaall hesitant to believe so.

      The leather work properly stunned me. Again, I am thankful that the leather was in such good condition. I'm not sure what the indent is at the top of the passenger seat. Like somebody was sitting in it with a golf ball between their shoulders. The wheels are more grey than silver now and missing a lot of gloss.  Here's one with nice silver wheels.

      It's amazing how well the works on the leather seats. Looks mint. Looking forward to see how you go with the wheels. They do suit the car! Gutter rash is easy to fix, but I'm curious about getting the colour done.
