Guys, I recently had my R33 broken into at a shopping centre carpark and almost had it stolen, they got as far as the key barrel so another 2 minutes and I swear it would've been gone! ....Just to let you guys know how they got in.

They struck the anti-carjack button (located on the drivers door) for the passenger door with a long object which they managed to wedge through the top of the drivers door/glass. It's obvious that they've done this before 'cause there was minimal damage to the car.

Either way. I think disabling this switch is a good idea.

are we saying something about asians?? Cough cough lol just playing..

yeah i did the same thing WITH MY ENGINE RUNNING!!!

being asian and wif a few of my mates there tryin to get into it no one even sussed us out..

took about 5 mins, there more ppl willing to help than stopping to question us if it was our car or not..

if i saw a few guys covered wif tattoos tryin to get into a car it's 000 straight away.. my 2 cents :thumbsup:

Yes for sure. This was one of the first things i looked out for. But rather than disable it(cause i find it useful), i've put like a missile switch cover on it. Also disable the remote boot by pushing the latch down in the boot. Makes it harder for your amps to get flogged. And always always use the clublock. I know sometimes you think its pointless cause everyone says that they can be gotten around and sometimes we just can't be arsed, but when you see your car gone, u will definitely kick yourself.

Oh yeah, and don't EVER fool yourself to think your immobiliser is going to be enough. This is not piece of mind. Even if it was the ultimate unstartable, they will still try, and u will be left with a 1-300 dollars job to fix the damage. Visual deterrents go a long way.

a) I think there are good ones and bad ones.. the good ones work alot better

B) (If you have a good immobiliser/alarm) If you get your regular idiot who thinks they can break a window and force the ignition barrel to start your car a club lock might save you alot of damage.

c) (if you have no alarm) It will slow them down and cause more noise.

(and the down point)

d) (If you have a good immobiliser/alarm) It gives the impression that you are putting trust in the club lock to secure your car... so people might think all they need to do is bust a window, break your lock, and force the ignition when infact its the immobiliser which is secureing your car... so you end up with more damage but your car is still there.

I remember i borrowed my mums car years ago when i was having a clutch redone in my old pulsar. put a club lock on and went into work. came back and relised the key for the club lock was on the key ring with my car... and the spare was in the ash tray of my car.... :Oops: but with a twist and a pull i could lower the clucb lock 1 notch. a few attempts and she was off. 2 minutes work :uhh:

A better way is to put it on backwards, i.e behind the steering wheel, rather than infront, the guts of the clublock should be up against the steering wheel hub, so much tighter fit. If you can force the notches then get rid of it, it is broken. Get one with lock pins(like the ones in gym equipment seats).

I Disabled this switch after some helpful advice from my engine tuner Matt "hitman", apparently this switch is how his skyline was broken into.....

If you cut the brown wire under the door control pannel leading to the switch, you will still have the functionality to lock the passengers door, but not unlock it.

Yeah, i always turn the club lock back the front so the barrel faces the dash. The Bast#$ds hit the barrel with a slide hammer, makes it pretty awkward if between wheel and dash.

Also bought a good quality wheel clamp (if Going away or something) "keep-it-clamp -it" are the best, looks pretty bad but the car is still were you left it. Can never be too careful these days!!!!

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
