Hiya Guys....

As the title indicates I am in need of a new lock for the boot of my car..... Some little b******* ripped mine off yesterday in the city.... :)

My first problem is trying to find a replacement one in Perth. Does anyone know where I can go buy a new one? How much I am looking at ?

Can anyone confirm that the lock barrel is connected to the rest of the lock so I will need a new key too??? I have heard this and it looks this way on the lock but I would like to confirm it...

Thanks in Advance

Brett

Ok.... so does anybody know where I can go and buy one in Perth.... Does anybody stock these on the shelves??? I want to get a replacement as soon as possible ... I have pulled the old lock out of the back already and it really ruins the looks when you see a large gaping hole in the boot :)

They also stole my caps for the tires but I buy another set of those easily enough ( Funny thing is they only took three of them ???? )

Hmmm yeah I thought about removing the lock... but then you run the risk that if your boot release ever fails you will have problems getting back in the boot ....

yeah I have rung Nissan and the best price so far is $155 and two to three weeks from Japan... :)

I might try the wreckers....

Thanks for the help so far guys... its much appreciated...

Same thing happened to me not long ago, try justjap over east, www justjap.com email them and you can transfer the money straight through to them, $95 from memory, and you usually get it in about 3 days, then just get a locksmith the key it the same as your other locks.

Don't Ya HATE Badgers!!!! :cuss:

Hiya Guys....

I was parked at one of the multi stories on Murray St and I was there about mid afternoon .... I have parked there many times before and never had any problems. When I came back to my car there was a VL that was modded next to me ( done badly ) that was looking pretty grubby ( had yellow sticker and all ) .... I know its all theory but I have a feeling it was those guys driving that..... I do have a high spec alarm and I thought it was strange because when I came back my alarm has in a weird state....

Anyways .... after a good stroke of luck I managed to get one through a wrecker here in Perth... and with a bit of work I got the nissan badge portion of the new one ( 2nd hand of course ) and attatched it to my existing one .... The best thing is after doing that I now dont have different keys and dont have to pay to get the new one recoded for my key.... at least I save a little there...

This is the best outcome I could have hoped for ( No waiting to have it shipped .... my existing lock ... and not having to pay full price through Nissan )

Again a big thanks to everyone that took the time to reply and help out...

A very relieved Brett :)

Hiya,

It depends on what rear lock your skyline had...... there are two types ..... a pewter style finish with the word nissan ( I think this one is more common ) and a crome style finish with a black circle and nissan written on it.

Mine was the pewter style finish and I managed get get the only one he had. So if your is the same I think you will be out of luck... But if it is the crome looking one then I can probably dig up his details again.... I know he is located in Malaga, but I will have to find his details... I am at work at the moment...

Hehe ... yeah I must admit that 3 out of 4 times I go to pay my token gets spat back out at me then so does my money!!!!

The only problem I really get there oftern though is that the ramp between floors get get rather step. There have been many times where I have bottomed out my front spoiler on those ramps.... I am forever repainting the bottom of it :lol:

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
