How to hot-wire Nissan Sunny

Frank Drebin · 10-10-2005 11:50AM #1

I would first like to make it clear that I'm not some gangster looking for info on how to rob cars....

My wife has a Nissan sunny, 94 year. Last night I caught some little bastards in the process of trying to rob it. I didn't confront them but yelled from the bedroom window and they ran off... All well enough! But now I'm stuck with this car in the drive with a wrecked ignition switch and no way to start it so I can get it to a garage.....

Any ideas on how to hot wire it? I want solid info please because I don't want to go rooting around shorting things out...

I will post pics of the wires later...

Ok this happened to my mates car when sitting in front of my house....was a Fiesta.....little f**ks where caught half way thru it by one of the neighbours who chased them...rang the cops and they where caught

.....anyway we just got a screw driver and turn the ignition using that......did they pull out all the wires from the back? any more info you can give? most of those older cars can be started by using a screw driver.....mate still uses screw driver because NCT is up in Jan and it wont pass so hasnt bothered repairing......used to have an old Polo myself and lost keys.....just used screw driver to start then....was an old thing we never had on road but just for learning in fields and so on!!

They pulled all the surrounding covers off behind the steering, then wedged some kind of bar in and broke the actual ignition fitting that clamps around the steering shaft braking the bracket and therefore braking the steering lock. All the wires are still connected, the key turns when I put it in but nothing happens. The little knob you press in to remove the keys dosen't seem to want to work as well.

If possible I'd like to keep it all in order because a mate says that the bracket can be welded...

Does the car have a chipped key or immobiliser?

Is the back barrel hanging out?Its like a black plastic circle where the wires connect into at the rear of the metal key barrel.If it is there there shud be a slit in it which you can use to turn a key or screw driver in.

If not what colour are the wires at the back of it?is it 2 or 3 white and a black or red?
Joining two of the white wires should get your "reds" on,then tipping the red(or sometimes other coloured wire) of them two will then start the car

Make sure he hasn't snapped the steering lock before you drive it anywhere.

If he has, the steering wheel can lock up at any time and will require a new collumb. Frankly I don't know why manufacterers don't provide a kill switch as standard in modern cars.

My mate has the Jap version, a Nissan Pulsar which was robbed from outside of my house at 3am.. yay. The guards were chasing the guys later that night but couldn't catch them as the car was too fast.

Right!
Got home this afternoon ready to put all your advice to the test only to find a business card from the crime scene examiner asking that I don't touch the car until it has been inspected and parts removed for finger printing. Apparently they caught the two little sh*ts after they crashed the stolen car they were traveling in.
Serves them right little twats.....

I should have mentioned: These arse holes are so thick that one of them knocked the horn in the car and that's what woke the wife who in turn woke me....LOL
Then one of the dumb schmucks left thier umbrella in the car....Ask yourself; What is a car thief doing bringing an umbrella with when out stealing cars...

I should be posting this in the humour forum....
Will let you know how I get on...

That seems pretty obvious to me - as a weapon. An umrella will hardly rouse suspicion, but could give them an advantage if they are confronted...

..........you were joking right ??

Frank Drebin · 10-10-2005 03:22PM

An umrella will hardly rouse suspicion but I think the white tracksuits, white runners, baseball caps and foul stench of dutch gold would!

I got a look at these blokes and I'd say they would rouse suspicion in the worst parts of Ballymun.

and there's me thinking that theives can't operate in the rain. Clever little fúckers these days - they find a way round every deterrent

It's now sorted... Got the car running... It was too easy, I'm sure that's what the little bastards were trying to do in first place.

Thanks for the help! You've been great.

There used to break into the car if it has rear fly window,the pointed steel end of an umbrella smacked into the corner of a window puts it thru fairly easily and if there stopped its handier for them than carrying a screw driver

How did you start it in the end?

Got a private message from someone telling me exactly how to do it. It was way too easy and it's best not posted for obvious reasons.

Oh well! Got me an umbrella for free. Now if I could get the smell of Duch gold and JPS blues off it I'll be smilling.

You've saved me an edit!

Old Japanese cars are astonishingly easy to break into and get going. No doubt its the legacy of Japan not having little stealing sh1ts on every corner.

The old --> 95 shape civic's were able to be stolen with spoons!
One thing that still confuses me to this day is that the majority of jap imports dont have immobiliser or alarms on them as standard eg the above civics who is that does anyone know?
