ive found having a really bright paint job helps too :thumbsup:

i'd look at buying something like a quicktrack alarm with a brant key code (you have to enter a code every time you start your car), make sure you get the latest one though as the older ones stuff up when your battery goes flat.

quicktrack charge around $1/day for their services. its definately worth it.

You may aswell make it hard for them while your at it... and it'll deter other would-be theives...

oh it's not hard for a "real theif", i do, however, agree with detering "would-be" thieves. but i'd probably just go with what your insurance want.... and watch were you park it etc...

its not about if he wants your car or not... its about wether or not he's willing to go through all of the work of disabling your 3 point immobilizer, then disabling your alarm, finding your kill switch then ripping out your ignition... most theives are theives for the fact that theyre too lazy to do anything else.. why would they want to go through all that trouble? they'll just move onto the next car.

this topic reminds me of an article in a WHEELS magazine someone told me about. it was about an alarm company that offered keys to a ferrari to the first person that could break into it with their alarm installed within a certain amount of time. the who's who if crims came and tried to get into it with no luck. then there was another guy who walked around the car, walked up to the front of it and started kicking really hard into the front bumper... he eventually kicked it hard enough for the airbags to come out and the doors to automatically unlock.

I hope skylines dont have that feature!!!

The easiest way to steal ANY car is with a tow truck. So make sure to park where other cars have no easy access to get to from the front or behind.

As for my car I got:

Mongoose alarm

3 point immobliser

Club lock

My brother bought a cheap SUpercheap auto alarm and then edited it himself... he fitted a house alarm speaker onto it and other neat stuff... now it sounds like a cop car lol

hehehehe thats why i got my alarm/immob--MANY MANY SENSORS... so that if my car is tilted, rocked, or if someone touches it etc my alarm goes ballistic---mine is very very sensitive...it even goes off if its too windy but i would prefer it going off then getting stolen!

Another neat feature mentioned previously is the removable Steering Wheel - an almost immediate a visble deterrent.

But yeah, immobiliser, alarm and kill switch as a minimum.

Oh and sticker that says

"This car protected by Smith & Wesson" ;-)

i recon a good imobalizer is far more important than a alarm, had my car broken into once and if it wasnt for the imobalizer my baby would have been history.

close- a WELL installed immobilser is better than an alarm. though an Immobilser with GSM paging is still a better idea.

With the price of alarm's these day's, you'd be stupid to not buy an alarm with at least a 2 point imobiliser.

true - it still comes down to the installation of it though. poorly fitted alarm - taken in a few minutes, well fitted its still there with a broken window.

    • I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.
    • The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
