i was at the petrol station earlier today to fill up my car. damn the soarer petrol prices >:P. anywayz, i saw this skyline opposite me. before the owner went to pay for his petrol, he clublocked the skyline.

hrmmm, how many of u guys clublock your skyline for a quick dash to the counter ?

mind u this was the first time ive seen someone do this.

Never seen someone clublock it at the servo, i think thats a bit fo overkill if you ask me. But then again you never know what kinda dodgy c*nt can be waiting around the corner. I usually leave my car with the window down and the turbo timer running at the servo, im not to worried about it. OR should i start gettin worried?

I always leave all my belongings and the keys in the ignition when going to pay for petrol..though i only do this in areas that i am familiar with. But with the amount of theft going around, i think its time to not take things for granted.

You just never know when or what is going to happen.

Depends what area I am in, but generaly I would leave the window down but lock with remote, as most of us would.

Just remember, people who take precausion generally don't loose.

Cars often get ripped off from servo's.

Many have had baby's sitting in the baby seat.

I simply lock the car and ensure the steering wheel is locked. The built in lock not a club lock etc.

An unlocked steering wheel is very easy to break its lock, push the seat back put your feet on the steering wheel and slam it. Bang goes the lock. When its locked it makes it that little bit harder to snap the lock as you don't have as much movement.

Yeah, i lock mine (remote lock) cause i have the RevSpeed Meter velcro-ed to the dash.

Plus they have a coffee machine where i go and wait for it to be made...yum !

I even have the wanky thermo mug for the drive to work...hehe

auto arm on my alarm does it for me. if they open the door the have to deal with the alarm goin off and then imobiliser and then me. someone would have to be real stupid to even try. i just make sure i dont leave mobiles and stuff in plain sight.

oh and the reason why people get their car jacked with babies in the back is that they give thieves the opportunity by leaving their keys in the car in the first place. i never could understand why people do that. its like leaving ur house keys in the front door whilst u walk to the milkbar on the corner. its just askin for someone to take it.

depends where you are...i sometimes duck in to get something and leave the engine running lol. I know i shouldnt. I don't do that if there's anyone else at the servo though.

But thats in Canberra...if i'm in Sydney I lock up always.

i usuallly leave the keys in ignition with phone in plain view, but depends what people are around in the servo

a little off topic, but does anyone leave there engine running while filling up due to their turbo timer or does everyone wait back for their car to cool down then fill up?

i always wait a few minutes for it to cool down before starting..

If I'm there for fuel I would take the keys with me and I would wait till the car has stop running then fill up. The alarm has passive immobolisers, so even if someone jumps in my car they wont get far unless they can by pass the immobolisers and start the car in a few seconds.

If I'm there for something else (depending on how long), I would normally leave the car running with the turbo timer and duck into the servo. I always make sure that the turbo timers I have in the car is always hooked up to the handbrake. Someone jump in tries to drive the car drops the handbrake, the car stops and immoboliser kicks in. Still take them time to by pass.

Never left the keys in the ignition tho, thats just asking for it then again I'm paranoid to a degree..

As to the guy that did the club lock, he have had a situation before which forces him to take such action to feel that he is looking after the car. Everyone has different views on proctecting your car I guess.. :)

i leave phones and wallet and everything there with windows open and car unlocked if i can see it from where im paying..

if i cant usually ill have window up...if someone goes near it ill just remote arm it i guess.

i hate getting in and out of car with club lock on (: my leg always hits it or something and the horn sounds (stock steering wheel...whole centre peice is a horn)

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
