Very sorry to hear and hope you get it back, but how the hell can you own a Skyline not only without an alarm, but without a paging or SMS alarm, and then leave it parked with no Club Lock (or at least take out the fuel pump fuse or something)? In-freaking-sane. Makes ALL of our insurance premiums significantly higher due to cars going missing :happy:

dunno about the whole paging/sms stuff, ive enquired about it but really dont know if its got any real benefit

gps tracking however, that'd be the shiznit

this i like! after watching 'the force' on Sunday night, and seeing that silly dickhead get pinged with the stolen landcruiser in his garage being stripped - thanks to one of these gps trackers

nice!

i have the paging alarm and its junk there cant be any buildings in its way or it wont work

Also i thought i saw your car parked on the side of the road in semaphore on military rd except it was black but everything was the same

^^ not exactly true

whilst pagers work best on line of site mine works inside our factory to about 80-100meter's away but in true line of site will work 500-800meters away

so you can see will still work a little in side but is dramatically cut down

EDIT

also paging alarm is different to GPS alarm

I have a new model pager alarm and it kicks ass. Not long after I got it I parked at Munno Para shopping centre to grab some lunch. I was a 5 minute walk inside the centre when I got a shock sensor alarm in my pocket. Ran flat out to the carpark, but noone was anywhere near my car. Reset the alarm and went back inside. Not even 5 minutes later it went off again. Bolted out again and noticed a couple of unlikely looking lads off the side of the carpark watching me and my car. No doubt they were checking my reaction time and whether or not it actually was a pager. Have never has a false alarm since. Money well spent.

GPS alarms are good, but apparently a $20 Ebay item blocks/scrambles the signal. Even shutting the car in a decent sealed car trailer will do it. My car also has a tilt sensor and handbrake cable sensor, so if they try to trailer it my alarm goes off and I get the page in my pocket.

I know the sms works well. Mate had his custom 200sx in a carpark, got a message, left the workplace to have a look and seen two people in what they found out to be a stolen Supra trying to break into it. Problem was he yelled out, should have called a couple of mates and snuck up on them!

Still don't get why police don't invest in $5k skyline, leave it out in the open with gps system then track where it ends up. Can't be that hard.

when i had my tow truck i was sent out too recover a lot of stolen cars. bloody heart breaking too see the owners if they roll up when ya putting it on the truck esp if its been burnt out .

ive seen cars with club locks with bent steering wheels and the club lock laying on the floor . ive seen alarms sirens stuffed with rags to shut them up .

im of the opinion if they want it they will get it no matter what , i had to pick up a broken down loan car for a ford dealer but i did not have the keys as i winched the car up off went the alarm i drove 20 ks with that car on the back of the truck with the alarm screaming and no one gave a toss including 2 police cars i passed on the way .

wow that just shows how smart the cops are......at least pull you over and question the driver specially if the alarm is going off

I agree if they really want it they will get it, but if you have a club lock, then they will 99% of the time not bother as it is too hard and move onto the next car without one. And if you have a pager alarm, you KNOW when your alarm is going off so you run to it. Gives you the best chance at least. That was my point.

that dosnt sound that advantages, i mean 500m wouldnt you be able to hear/see your car going nutz from that kinda distance. i guess in some situations it would be beneficial if it was too loud to hear it going and not a direct line of sight.

would you stop n ask if you seen a tow truck pulling a car out a car park with the siren blaring? most people would just assume its illegally parked or something or something wrong with the alarm and the owner is taking it to be fixed. theres not much you can do short of demanding to see there license etc.

o and from what i hear about clublocks it takes 10seconds to remove them. the main thing it does is show you spent a bit of money on protecting your car so there's likely to be an alarm and or immobilizer to go with that.

daily drivers are the ultimate defence against car thieves but then you dont get to drive your nice car as much.

    • OK, Step 3, if you need to remove the valve body, either to replace it, the TCM, or to do a more complete drain.  First, you need to disconnect the TCM input wires, they are about half way up the transmission on the drivers side. One plug and the wires are out of the way, but there is also a spring clip that stops the socket from sliding back into the transmission. On my car the spring clip was easy to get, but the socket was really stuck in the o-ring of the transmission housing and took some.....persuasion. You can see both the plug to remove (first) and the spring clip (second) in this pic Incidentally, right next to the plug, you can see where the casting has allowance for a dispstick/filler which Nissan decided not to provide. there is a cap held on with a 6mm head bolt that you can remove to overfill it (AMS recommend a 1.5l overfill). Final step before the big mess, remove the speed sensor that is clipped to the valve body at the rear of the box.  Then removal of the Valve Body. For this the USDM Q50 workshop manual has a critical diagram: There are a billion bolts visible. Almost all of them do not need to be removed, just the 14 shown on the diagram. Even so, I both removed one extra, and didn't check which length bolt came from which location (more on that later....). Again it is worth undoing the 4 corners first, but leaving them a couple of turns in to hold the unit up....gravity is not your friend here and trans oil will be going everywhere. Once the corners are loose but still in remove all the other 10 bolts, then hold the valve body up with 1 hand while removing the final 4. Then, everything just comes free easily, or like in my case you start swearing because that plug is stuck in the casing. Done, the valve body and TCM are out
    • OK, so if you are either going for the bigger fluid change or are changing the valve body which includes the Transmission Control Module (TCM), first you should have both a new gasket 31397-1XJ0A and a torque wrench that can work down to 8Nm (very low, probably a 1/4 drive one). You can probably get by without either, but I really didn't want to pull it all apart together due to a leak. First, you now need that big oil pan. The transmission pan is 450 long x 350 wide, and it will probably leak on all sides, so get ready for a mess. There are 24x 6mm headed bolts holding the pan on. I undid the 2 rear corners, then screwed those bolts back in a couple of turns to let the pan go low at that end, then removed all the middle bolts on each side. Then, undo the front corner bolts slowly while holding the pan up, and 80% of the fluid will head out the rear. From there, remove the remaining bolts and the pan is off. You can see it is still dripping oil absolutely everywhere...it dripped all night.... I got another couple of litres when I removed the pan, and then another few when I removed the valve body - all up another 4l on top of the 3 already dropped in step 1.
    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
