adeliade, close to east terres, was getting one but had a club lock on

a Skyline without an alarm ?????? sucks to hear..... but really it is one of the targeted cars ??? hope it was insured ???

this town is full of savages I swear..lol

wish police would lock em up for a long time, not defect cars all night long. cause it's easier then catching real crims.

You'd hope the insurance is going insure the car without an alarm system as most insurance would want the insured to have an alarm system as a pre-requisite.

yep exactly.. and needs to be up to OZ standards to be covered in most cases too

needs to be up to OZ standards

This is the important bit, most alarms out there are absulute crap. I helped a mate remove an alarm from his s15 the other day that he just bought - as it wasn't working.

Although it looked like a mess of wires under the dash and I thought it was going to take me all day to remove and get the car running again. In the end the way it worked was stupidly simple, and it would have only taken one wire to bypass it all any semi profesional theif could have bypassed it in minutes. But to make matters worse, what ever dodgy installer put it in there must not have been able to get around the factory smart key system, so they sticky taped the original key to the ignition barrel and put the cover back over the top.

About the only thing any alarm system that I have ever delt with has been good for is drainig your battery if you leave it parked for more than 48 hours, and making sure your cental locking never works the same again :P

guys going on about alarms.. I'd say a clublock is just as good, if not better then an alarm when it comes to stealing a car (alarm better for people braking into it)...

You sure you had the lock on? I know theres ways of getting them off, but they take a fair bit, unless they were out there for awhile doing it...

That's why you need an alarm AND a club lock - the alarm draws attention to the vehicle so they don't have 2 minutes uninterrupted in which to get the club lock off .... AND I have 3 piezo sirens inside the cabin that are absolutely deafening - no thief in their right mind would be in my car more than 5 seconds with those things piercing their eardums!

True, Usually a clublock does it's Job, but yes, I do agree with you.. Least he had something, unfortunatly probly not enough for insurance purposes..

I’m also sorry to hear that another Skyline has been stolen. Ill also keep an eye out for it. I like that piezo siren idea Andrew. I’ve considered installing a set in my car and your right they will make ones ears bleed in no time.

Yeah JMW (James) has 2 HOUSE alarm sirens - one in the engine bay AND one inside the car - they are the loudest bloody things you have ever heard. Same principle - deafen them and they won't have a chance to try hotwire your car :P

this is a bad wave atm.. sorry to hear. in a semi serious/semi joking kind of way lets just set up dummy cars and all hide on the tray of the hilux 200m up the street, then do some of that funky ninja stuff..

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
