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.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
