Does bad luck come in threes?!?!?!

2 moths ago my 33 was broken in too. They had two cracks at it. Pulled back a wire fence to get at it and first time set of the alarm. Second time they just smashed the passenger window. Its quite funny... for what they would make at the pawn shop ($150 odd buck for the head unit) it is costing me out of pocket $500 odd and insurance about $2250.

Two days ago my mates old man backed in to my front spoiler and I bolted down thinking my car was again being broken in to. And then yesterday my car was keyed all the way up the drivers side. Just hoping the cut and polish on my first claim will get it out.

So I am a little curious on where to position and how to fit one of these ten dollar house alarms in the cabin. I had one go off in a foyer once and they bloodly well hurt your ears!!!!

If these bastards want something in your car they will get in, alarm or not. Your only safety is to park your in what you think are safe places- try to use parking lots, it costs a few extra bucks but at least there are less dickheads are walking up and down past your car like they would be if you are on a road. Dont think just because its daytime they wont break into your car, durin the day on a main road these scumbags jacked my headunit! My tint is only slightly off limo full black tint too so its not like they could see right in either. Obiviously keep your car garaged as often as possible and if you need to park keep it on main roads. With the way these ****heads are getting into cars at the moment - if they dont manage to get in thru the door they will just smash your window. Trust me them smashing the window is definately the cheaper option repair wise. Unfortunately owning a nice car comes at a cost, as i'm sure many of us already know!

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
