I used "the Club" until last night....

managed to go to the nearest shopping centre near my gf's place and put on the club. Forgetting the fact the key was on my other set of keys at my place some 100kms away :(

Called the local RAA (RACV, VAC whatever they are called in your area) and bolt cutters wouldnt cut it, and a hacksaw bounced off it. Hardened steel :(

Had to call a locksmith who couldnt pick the star key lock, but had to drill out the barrel of the damn thing to get it off in the end....$110 later for the locksmith, and 2 1/2 hours of my time in the car in the rain.....im home

yes!!!

Is there a place in Sydney that actually sells these? or did you get yours off the site? if so how long did it take to arrive etc? how's it fit? went throug the site and it looks quite good.

i got a prolock one in chrome...looks the best and is about $50 bucks and also if you have one fitted and your car gets stolen they pay up to $2000 of your excess......

I wish they had that when i found mine snapped in half on the side of the road where my car used to be.

If you are really paranoid about getting your car stolen, get the steerting lock with the pedal clamps, and also the gear shift locker  

And while your at it... go down to the wherehouse and get some chain and padlocks ... chain up your wheels to the nearest concret barrier or immovable object. also don't forget to chain your seat in an uncomfortable position, disconnect the car battery, remove all the fuses and spark plugs and distribuitor cables.

I've heard you can drill a hole in your fuel lines and put a little tap there (turn the tap off and chain it up too).

Then if your still worried, super glue your tiers to the ground...

Abus Carblock, wouldnt use anything else.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
