stevie_350z Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Anyone try this with the Z? http://www.break.com/index/unlock_your_ ... _ball.html Quote
GC350z Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Have seen it done (not a Z) using a tennis ball with a wedge shape cut into it. Also see video of golf broken into using a flat head screwdriver. (Without breaking windows) Quote
Chesterfield Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Have seen it done (not a Z) using a tennis ball with a wedge shape cut into it. Also see video of golf broken into using a flat head screwdriver. (Without breaking windows) I have been aware of the flaws in the VW Golf fo some time - hence why mine now has no locks. Quote
stevie_350z Posted February 24, 2007 Author Posted February 24, 2007 Come on, someone try it with the Z... I'm about 10,000 miles away from my baby so I cant! Quote
Kev946 Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Be careful, have you notice the car door is dented where they have pushed against the lock.... Quote
Emperor Ming Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Hi Guys THis tennis ball thing only worked on central locking systems that work on a vaccuum!! It does not work on electronic systems!! The ball forced air through the system in reverse causing the locks to open. I have dealt with hundreds of car thieves in my time and cannot remember the lasat time this method was used. Ming the reliever Quote
captint Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 I always wondered how Tim Henman was so rich, seeing that he was so sh1t at Tennis and now I know Quote
GC350z Posted February 24, 2007 Posted February 24, 2007 Don't have an alarm on my Z. I'm a paranoid individual and am always checking my car but still I don't feel the need for getting an alarm fitted. I've got the flashy red light and that's all I need. Knowledgeable car thieves are few and far between (If any at all in Ireland). Getting into a car is easy. Starting it is not. Most cars stolen in Dublin fit under one of two categories. 1. It's an old peice of shite that can be started with the wires. 2. It's a modern Audi, BMW, Merc etc and they got the keys from your house. I did hear of some luxury car (cant remeber which) where if you hit the front of it hard enough the doors unlocked thinking you were in an accident. Poorly writen software. Quote

sl114 Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Seen this before, dont worry though people, it doesnt work on all cars as Ming says Quote
Zedrush Posted February 26, 2007 Posted February 26, 2007 Curiosity got the better of me, tried it on my Z, didnt open Quote
