is there any way you can activate electrical current through your door key hole when you arm your alarm so if someone tries to stick a screw driver into it it'll do a bit of damage?

theres an idea for alarm manufacturers!

from memory i memba my old man telling me one of his mates did this to his car back in the day... they used a capacitor so it charges up and lets it out in a burst... worked pretty good he said...

6 months ago, I got the locks on my '95 Corolla sedan changed because they were getting old and crunchy. Yeah I know, it's a 'Rolla but hey, I'm on my L's. I share the car with my sister (skyline comin in 2 months!). The bill for the two locks was $400...older parts are so expensive aren't they?

Now a week after that, when my sister was at work in The Rocks, she finished her shift at 1 a.m. only to find that they key wouldn't fit in the drivers side lock. Someone had tried to break in. Obviously they were amateurs because even I think I could break into my car! However the lock was completely broken, and as it turned out the end of a knife was snapped inside it. Cost another $200 to get a new lock.

The next week, same time, same bloody day of the week, it happens again. The lock was completely mangled and again something snapped in it. Another $200 to get it repaired.

Now in total this has cost us $800.

We went to the police in The Rocks. They knew it was a gang of kids. We already knew that - just down the road from where she works is some youth hall or something. They are obviously practicing on older vehicles and I bet they are going to have fulfilling lives as professional scumbags when they are older.

This is a warning to anyone who goes to The Rocks. Don't leave your car there for long - make sure it's alarmed - and watch out for these punks.

Before you say 'don't drive into the city', let me explain. There is no other viable way of transport into the rocks and more importantly, transport out, late at night - without paying an expensive cab fare both ways. Parking somewhere else or in a pay parking car park would be risky as it means my sister would have to walk through dodgy areas to get to her car. The situation is screwed.

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.

      Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
