    since then there have been quite a few new owners of our cars who may not be aware of a security weakness regarding original Nissan keys. This is what I was surprised to find -

    I cut and pasted and it didn't work - first mistake then I reposted on a

    new thread instead of posting on this one - second mistake :embarrassed::embarrassed: Anyway Henpecked has sorted my mess out for me (thanks) - he did what I wanted to do but I didn't know how. Will have to work on my posting skills quite obviously - I still don't even know how to post pictures!!

    Standard Z security is piss-poor

    Security on the Zed is not equal to current day thieves skills. :thumbsdown: I suggest you ignore whatever protection was on a '89 Zed and install multiple security / imobiliser systems.

    Any car is stealable, but my Godfather probably needs a flat-bed truck with the alarm screaming due to multiple levels of imobilisation. :thumbsup:

    It's a bitch to get started because of the steps involved, but worth it IMO.

    Having said that, the titanium key although not really giving any level of security is a good looker. :cool:

    Just my opinion.

    Cheers,

    Peter

    Very true Peter - after the recent thefts I think the more levels of

    security the better even if they are a pain to initiate. Cheers. Clive.

    Hey Zedophile :) - if you are going to start a new thread,

    at least lock the old one - so that we do not have people "reviving it" by putting new posts there, and having two identical subject threads on the front page ?

    Yes :thumbsup: I now its far more MY fault then yours that they are replying to a 2004 post -:LOL: - but how about locking the old one ?

    I put a redirect on it but only you can lock it, just go back to it and at the bottom of your display will be a "lock thread" option, just click that and it will all link together nicely.:thumbsup::LOL::thumbsup:

    cheers :):thumbsup:
