Hi All,

I have been checking the web for a solution to keep a neighbours cat off my V.

I have not caught him in the act so don't know if 1 scare is enough.

I've read that Pepper/Mothballs/Coyote Urine and few other products do the job with mixed results.

Also I have had a look at some of electronic solutions but would rather keep this cheap.

My Car is under a car port and I live in a row of units. Tomorrow I will probably try hanging some moth balls over the hood of the car as thats what the moggie wants to be warm and cozy while leaving mud scratches.

I am not a cat fan !

If anyone has had any experience please share ?

Please don't post if your reply is about shooting or trapping the cat. I just want the cat to stay away from my V !

cats hate water, especially cold water, hit the little bast*rd with a hose or bucket full of it when you do catch it, water is a lot more car friendly than napthalene hanging over your bonnet.

He will be there while the bonnet is still carrying heat so it wont be long after you get home

Best idea is to get a cat trap catch the prick and take it to the pound. Else you can get cheap solar powered sensor flood lights. direct it at your bonnet and maybe that would scare it off when it goes off.

Didn't think of that 1 but I'd have to switch it on when I get home otherwise I will blind myself when come into park.

Is there some kinda of spray that is available perhaps in pet store that you can spray to put cats off certain things? If you spray it near the car, that should scare the little rascal away!

I vaguely remember seeing some kinda product like this b4. Not 100% sure though. Perhaps check with a big pet store.

I belive that there is a spray available, just check that it wont harm the duco, as my old man had the same issue with a neighbours cat and i think he used a spray from a pet store.

Also if it is happening during the night and you know who the cat belongs to just inform them of the dusk till dawn ruleing in regards to cats (THEY SHOULD BE LOCKED UP...................................at night)

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
