With the recent stolen cars around, esp Skylines, and other hi-po cars used in ram raids crimes, is this a bit of a worry?

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi...item=2401200685

I know maybe the buyer could be a legitimate locksmith, but what if someone who plans to organise a large car pinching operation?

Just a thought...

I checked the eBay again, and the item is no longer there... maybe cancelled by eBay?? Anyhow, I think selling lock picking equipment (particularly for hi-po cars) to general public are a bit dodgy.

The seller said the "lock jiggler" equipment will open japanese cars like Nissan & Toyota INCLUDING Skylines, 180SX, Supra, MR2....

You name it, any performance imports was listed... I hope it never falls into the wrong hand, especially after a few ram raids in NSW and other states involving stolen cars.....

Wouldn't that kind of auction encourage would-be-car-thieves to buy it and try out their skills??? Since if anyone buys anything on eBay, there's no way to track it or to be sure what the buyer's purpose or motives are.

where i used to work at a mechanics, trucks used to come around selling tools. anyhow one day a truck came around with this long metal ruler look like with an anchore thing on the end of it, basically a flat hook going in both directions(like an anchore) and this was for breaking into cars. One of the guys bought it and tested it out on a taxi which we were fixing and yep! enough said, these have been around for a long time..im not sure how they can get away with making and selling them?

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
