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 wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
