Within a fully secure underground complex car park some prick has used what looks like a pick and hammer to try bust my lock out or a screwdriver. They never got into my car but the lock is completely totally destroyed.

I have an alarm, immobiliser and steering wheel lock that is always in a hard-lock position when parked.

Is there any way i can just replace the key hole with a metal plate or replace with a keyless entry door handle? This is the 3rd time - 1st in Newcastle, 2nd in Brisbane, 3rd now in Melbourne someone has tried to break the key/lock to get into my car..

Anyone got suggestions? Otherwise im over this car im selling it next week..

Unless it was your own personal lock up garage that only you have the remote/key for, I wouldn't assume it's "fully secure"... even if you had your own garage, nothing is ever secure. Anyone who can gain entry to the basement car park can physically get to your car.

R33 yeah.

Since i have alarm, immobiliser and steering lock fitted ive just removed the barrel key lock from the handle, covered it with a metal plate, painted it same colour as car. Only way they can get in now is smashing window or stealing my keys..

Hate these maggots.

Just FYI you don't need to smash the window to get into an R33. The windows have enough flex in them to pry away and get a coat hanger in there to flick the lock.
It's how my previous 33 was stolen, and also how RACV get in when keys are locked inside.

Passenger door?

disconnceted the locks on passenger door now too - its fully keyless entry.

f**ked if my battery goes flat, but at least less a chance of these maggots stealing my car.. i hope.

haha fyi the r33 door unlock trick was covered about 9 yeas ago from memory

there was a how-to thread on how to disable it as well in the tutorial section, very old news

What is the trick? just jam a screwdriver in and turn it?

So they had another go last night, now passenger door lock is ruined, drivers side door lock even more so than last week and now they jimmied the window scratching the f**k outta my window and ripping the rubber seals to pieces...

AGAIN didnt get in.. There goes about $500 replacing the seals and locks. :(

Getting really tired if your shit junky thieves.

wow.... that's no longer opportunistic dude, that's targeted at your car... I would either sell it or move it to a new location. Does your 'secure' carpark have CCTV? Have they audited the swipe access at all entry and egress points?

^^^ Good one mate now it's everyone's information. Hell of a lot of captains about to set sail!!

Old news. You can sometimes tell if an R33 has been broken into because the metal/trim above the window is creased from being pried open.

    • I know -_- Oddly enough I went to a car show this weekend and not a single person made any mention of Nitrous... I did have to argue with a know it all that was convinced I had an RB26 head with HKS V-Cam as opposed to a regular VCT RB25 head, but what do I know. I think my HKS oil cap was throwing him off. 
    • That seems like a lot more work than just using a second jack under a front tow hook to raise it enough to get another jack under it. 
    • They're wonderful when only used to lift your car up an inch so a real jack fits under your front lip. Besides that, I've only ever used them on the side of the road.  We call them widow makers here.  Unfortunately, like I mentioned in another post, ramps are not an option for me due to generally working on my car once my kids are asleep. Cold starts, 4" exhaust and sleep rarely go well together. I honestly find using ramps a hell of a lot more work than what I'm currently doing anyways. 
    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
