why so they can learn there trade better

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:

Yea i kno but i hav only just got my licence bak after losing it for 10months (hadnt even had it 2weeks and my car gets stolen ;) ) my car is usually at victor harbor, my house has a big driveway, sensor light and a dog. And usually i park it up my fiances drive which also has a sensor light but i didnt this time and now im paying the consequences so ur right my next car will hav alarm and immobiliser

Tahnks to those keeping their eyes peeled hopefully can find my car and the retards who done it

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.

    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
    • OK, so regardless of whether you did Step 1 - Spill Step 2 - Trans pan removal Step 3 - TCM removal we are on to the clean and refill. First, have a good look at the oil pan. While you might see dirty oil and some carbony build up (I did), what you don't want to see is any metal particles on the magnets, or sparkles in the oil (thankfully not). Give it all a good clean, particularly the magnets, and put the new gasket on if you have one (or, just cross your fingers) Replacement of the Valve body (if you removed it) is the "reverse of assembly". Thread the electrical socket back up through the trans case, hold the valve body up and put in the bolts you removed, with the correct lengths in the correct locations Torque for the bolts in 8Nm only so I hope you have that torque wrench handy (it feels really loose). Plug the output speed sensor back in and clip the wiring into the 2 clips, replace the spring clip on the TCM socket and plug it back into the car loom. For the pan, the workshop manual states the following order: Again, the torque is 8Nm only.
    • One other thing to mention from my car before we reassemble and refill. Per that earlier diagram,   There should be 2x B length (40mm) and 6x C length (54mm). So I had incorrectly removed one extra bolt, which I assume was 40mm, but even so I have 4x B and 5x C.  Either, the factory made an assembly error (very unlikely), or someone had been in there before me. I vote for the latter because the TCM part number doesn't match my build date, I suspect the TCM was changed under warranty. This indeed led to much unbolting, rebolting, checking, measuring and swearing under the car.... In the end I left out 1x B bolt and put in a 54mm M6 bolt I already had to make sure it was all correct
