I still think that getting a good 2400W inverter and pumping 240v out of the steering wheel and grounded through the gear stick, after the alarm has been activated of course...!

that'll make sure they get a fking good jolt right through the heart! certainly wont be trying to steal another car anytime soon...

Gah.....can you imagine cleaning up the mess after? Car would smell like burnt flesh for quite a while! :P

why not just use an electric fence device instead packs a hell of a punch if you get one for big animals.

And you can get a good one that runs on two D size torch batteries, so only 3 volt supply, we have one and it kicks hard.

Just set it up and turn it on from the boot or something.

Actually I have a Braille battery isolator in the boot, this thing has a remote control, so point and press for on/off. So you could use something like that for the electric fence unit.

Mount in boot, run wires to front of car and attach to steering wheel/door handle/seat/gear knob etc, in boot hook power to unit through Braille isolator to battery, use remote to turn off and on.........uumm very doable. Need a 12v unit though, but a lot of them are, usually see them with a car battery hooked up and a solar panel out in the paddock somewhere.

Hey everyone. I saw these pricks as well!

Last week, my mate and I were taking out the rubbish at work when we saw these little sods pull up next to his car, had a look, then onto mine. We started to walk over, but surprize, surprize, they took off quick smart.

We are parked on a very busy road, so they have no problems being out in public.

Lucky for me I have a pager alarm, so if these little sods come back i will know.

BTW, the timing was amazing as i barely even drive my car during the week. Lucky me gets to take the Mrs car, a brand new XR5.

Lets hope they all get hit by a bus...

You'd definately need some way to turn it on/off at will, the number of times people working on my car have set the alarm off...well you wouldn't want to eletrocute them in the process!!

Hey everyone. I saw these pricks as well!

Was it the same car? White N14 Nissan Pulsar SSS? Loud exhaust?

Maybe it's not stolen then, if they're still driving it around... surely you wouldnt be dumb enough to drive a stolen car around for days and days :)

Pity we dont have a numberplate!

I'm not even going to mention what shops I do and dont go to... but lets just say I wont be going to Erindale anytime soon :D I would have thought that carpark would be alright given there's roads going around all of it (ie there's no "dark corner" type of thing).

No carpark is safe, we should all know and understand this. Considering my last skyline was flogged from the top floor of Tuggeranong Hyperdome, which is the staff/long stay carpark, which is behind a SECOND boomgate mid afternoon, while it was parked out in the open within clear site of mall entrances....

Good work mate, didnt happen to actually get the plates did ya? If it was the same guys, the shits clearly aren't too bothered that they've come close to being busted once already, maybe this stakeout isn't such a bad idea after all....at least to get their number plate when you chase the shits off

Didn't see any P plates on it. It's funny, i know the first thing you have to do in that situation is get the number plates but when i saw what was happening i sprinted for my car and there was not much thought involved. I seriously doubt that if that was their own car that they wouldn't at least have stolen plates on it, but if they are stupid enough to be driving around in their own car with their own plates then i hope like hell the idiots get caught.

Glad to hear that at least people are keeping their eyes out, you can't be too careful. I still have no idea whether they were already trolling the car park looking for cars to break into, or if perhaps they saw me on the road, followed me in and waited for me to leave.

      Nope, I don't like the look of ND RF, or any ND really, I don't like their faces or arses, why, because of their "modern" lines, the NC, whilst "modernish" has a more rounded shape that I like Well, that's how my overly judgemental eyes see it anyway

      Should be more than fine, especially the overall fuel pressure would never exceed 3.5bar (assuming that thing never gets more than 0.5bar of boost in stock form). According to the chart, it's 11amps.

      I definitely know the first rule here, look first, ask second. I've seen many people get roasted 😂 I found a few diagrams for the RB, but I'm yet to come across one for the VQ. From what I have read, the pump gets the +12v along with the FPCM, and it's the negative wire that gets passed through the resistor to regulate the voltage. So I assume I can just ground the negative wire at the pump to eliminate the FPCM control. But I really wanted to see the VQ circuit diagram first to make sure I understood it correctly. Once the new pump is in I'll do some testing to see how it behaves, and in the meantime, I'll keep looking for a wiring diagram. Thanks for your help mate, your time is greatly appreciated.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Maybe? I have the Supercheap ToolPro low thingo. It has a somewhat smaller diameter lifting "bowl" than you would expect on a workshop grade trolley jack, and a split rubber pad to suit that diameter. It clears the "N1" style skirts I have. Probably wouldn't if the jack's bowl and a suitably larger rubber block were in use. Having said that though.....you only need the rubber block to exist on the inner side of the pinchweld, so could carve away any rubber that fouled the skirt, leaving some there for "insurance" </simples>

      I used to do that (sills with rubber jack block).. ... then I got side skirts, and there's no way for the jack to actually work there, the jack pad itself on the jack is too big. Is the answer to use a... smaller (?) jack? Hmmm.
