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!!

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.

    • Stock RB fuel pressure is near enough 43.5 psi, so the latency in that table at 31.6 will be close. You can see that 7 or 8 psi equates to about 0.4µs extra latency. So if you wanted to interpolate between the 31.6 and 39.9 psi values you could say you're going up about 2 psi out of those 8, so add about 0.1µs, which is barely worth talking about and is quite possibly wrong because ideally you would fix the latency while running at the appropriate conditions on the dyno, with a wideband sniffing its butt.
    • The pressure, is what you set the fuel pressure to. If you have the factory fuel reg, you'll need to find the factory spec. I don't know it off the top of my head, but someone else might.
    • For others, what GTSBoy states here should be paid attention. Why? Well lots of people play with different engines, and they LOVE to change things like remove AC, or steering pumps etc, and it lends to them needing to move the tensioner too. You want your tensioner, particularly those that are sprung or hydraulically tensioned, to be the first thing after the harmonic balancer, or technically the "last" pulley in the chain. By saying last pulley, I mean look at the direction the crank spins when the engine is running, follow the belt from where the crank is pulling the belt FROM, and keep following that until you're between the last pulley/accessory on the belt and about to reach the crank again, this is the spot where you put the tensioner. This is the area that will always end up with slack. This is worked out exactly the same way for chains too, as the physics is the same for them. The crank pulley is where all the force to drag the belt around comes from. You will never ever get rid of the slack that appears, especially under load. The tensioners job is to keep the belt loose enough when stationary that there shouldn't be out of sync movement in slow movement, and then be tight enough when running, that the belt can't jump off any gear and get damaged. Too tight, bad things happen, too loose, bad things happen. Have a tensioner (mainly sprung/hydraulic one) in the wrong spot, it can't actually do anything about keeping the tension.
    • It was gonna take much longer for the 440cc so I'd thought I'd risk it with the 550cc. They finally arrived and I couldn't wait any longer (I could but I was quite excited after 2 months) and installed them myself. Removed the old injectors, inserted the new and connected everything up. Before starting the car, I tuned the injector size from the factory 270cc to 550cc using Nistune.   This did some of the calculations automatically which catered for the TIM. The latency however did not seem to change. Deatschwerks have the tuning data available for each injector online, and I had a look at it. It has a table which relates to latency according to pressure and voltage (see below image). Nistune requires the 14v value, but I am unsure of which pressure value to look at (my lack of knowledge and experience have something to do with this). The highlighted value is close to my current latency which is 760µs. It is for 14v which makes sense, and the pressure is 31.6 Psi.   I still gave the car a test drive to see how it goes, and honestly it has never felt so powerful before (and some people say the RB20DE is very weak?). I really enjoyed the drive. Side note; The injectors are quite noisy, which someone mentioned before. This does not really bother me however. I will still ask my mechanic to have a look at it and perhaps ask a tuner to fine tune it if they have the knowledge.
    • Also true. But imagine not wanting new injectors? Imagine wanting to use 30 year old injectors?
