I had my house done over today and during that they went into the garage with my keys and alarm and went through my car. It must have been kids as they searched my glovebox and centre console, but of course no valuables in there. Luckily they didnt damage the car but they took the keys.

So im wondering would i need a complete new set of locks??? How do i get a key cut from nothing, through Nissan or a locksmith? I suppose i can take out the boot barrel lock. Just hopefully they wont come back for the car, ive dissabled it just in case. I might see if i can get the frequency for the alarm changed as well.

do everything you can to make sure your car aint gonna move, or leave it at somebody elses place until you get new locks asap. thats how my first 33 was stolen, broke into house took keys and car, but thats what they were after. you're going to want a new set of locks, there are car locksmith places that specialise in this. we had every lock changed in another car the day after the line was stolen because they pinched other keys too.

if i were you id park another car behind it to ensure they cant come along and put it on a flatbed late one night when youre asleep. ALso call a car locksmith asap as has already been suggested. Also ring the alarm place and get the alarm repropgrammed as quick as you can.

once they have your keys there is nothing easier for them to do than walk up get in and drive away. so make it as hard as possible for them to do so.

oh btw might be an idea to get a second set of keys and hide them somewhere they arent easy for a criminal to find.

Ive taken out the bootlock and getting a key made up at the moment. Then i will get the alarm re-programmed. A car is parked in front of the garage during the night, but this was during the day when the car was gone. I dont particularly think they where after the car, they where looking for valuables inside it, but better to be safe than sorry.

how come you left your keys at home? ALWAYS CARRY THEM WITH YOU or hide them in a bloody good spot!!!

We had some .. *cough* locals.. break into our house once and we were fitting a GZE engine into my gf's corolla so we had the key sitting on a kitchen shelf. They worked out this key was for the car so instead of taking just the digital camera's etc they started loading up our whole entertainment system. Luckily they were interrupted and only took of with my speakers and the car broke down 2 km's down the road because we hadn't put all the gearbox link pins in so we were lucky there. One bonus though is they must have thrashed it so hard the supercharger started working, it didnt work when we put the cut in :D

Since then I always have my keys with me no matter what and my spare set stays at my sisters house.

      No chop chop of anything mate, it is what it is, plus, I don't want any air that isn't either going through the cooling stack or intake getting into the engine compartment increasing under bonnet pressure  Yeah, the Mazda Speed aftermarket intake above is less than ideal for multiple reasons, the requirement to remove the bumper every time you need to service the filter, and also smaller in diameter than the NC1 OEM one Weirdly, Mazda Speed is part of the Mazda motorsport division, "form over function" and $$$$$ for Mazda from unsuspecting punters I suspect  After some googling about them it seems they added no power, but do increase some induction noise Meh In other news, the electricians have been busy today at the house, and are back tomorrow finishing up all the security stuff and exterior lighting, they also added some lighting on the garage ceiling, which will come in handy when working in the garage when it's not freezing out there My Birdies raised garden bed also arrived today as well, which I'll put together and place tomorrow, it's a big tall Bessie, 74cm high, 92cm wide and 214cm long, this will come in handy as I am starting to get "stockpiles" of good soils from doing landscaping, some of the clean rock, namely the river stone, will go into the bottom of the bed for drainage, as well as the old Apricot tree that was out the back,  and when it's full, I'll grab another one, I will be growing enough veggies to keep me both busy as well as supplementing the shopping list I'm also awaiting another quote for a new Colourbond front fence, as the "1980 style cemented in rock edging" that was there and "fashionable at the time" looked arse, and my god, the amount of cement used to fix the rock was insane, it took 1.5 days for me to break out 12 meters of the stuff by hand, trim the bushes back to the fence line and dump it out the back of the joint to deal with at a later date,I will soon need a skip bin to tip it all Unfortunately they did alot of the cemented in rock around the joint, which I hate, so a few pallets of retaining wall blocks for around the front and back where the cemented in rock is will be required to bring it up to a standard, and look, that I will be happy with 12 meters worth of rock and cement Finished smashing the fence line and ready for a fence to be installed, yes, the lawns need some TLC and thickness, the previous owner trimmed the grass to the roots 😢, the TLC I can provide, and nature over time will do the rest And there's probably about another 40 meters worth of this landscaping abomination left to do around the front and back gardens, I'm guessing maybe 3 or 4 tons worth, tip fees for this will be a killer Meh, all in all I'm having fun and keeping busy, plus, it's good PT

      Just cut the bottom of the guard out. It's no longer got a big duct, to a sealed box, or a restriction. It has all the cold air from outside. Also, that cai you showed looks terrible. Bends are NOT good for go gos!

      Like I said, "black magic" LOL In the end,  it is what it is, and hopefully, what this here knuckle head has done is an improvement and not a hindrance Not that I actually notice any negatives now, or that I will get any seat of the pants benefits when all is said and done, but best practice says I shouldn't be pulling intake air from the hot engine bay  Famous last words: I cannot see it being any worse than what it is at the moment 🤔

      If the gases flowing in those two tracts had the same properties, you could maybe use such broscience. But the exhaust has a different composition, different normal density, different actual density (because of different normal density, and mostly because of the massively higher temperature), and different viscosity (again because of much higher temperature). Consequently, all of the fluid dynamics parameters that matter, that you calculate from these inputs, such as the Reynolds number, friction factors (for wall friction) and so on, are all incomparable.
