Hi all

just a word of warning to those who have a skyline without an alarm :P

my bro had his r32 gtst stolen yesterday. got taken in the early hours of the morning. the car was parked in his girlfriends driveway at Ottoway and was today found by the police in Greenacres minus a panasonic double din deck (if anyway trys to sell you one), front number plate and center compartment. we are just glad that the car wasnt smashed up or anything. the d*%#heads even left us a set of keys, half a tank of petrol and a few half smoked fags on the seats. other then that the car is also missing some key holes.

the thing that gets to me the most is that the car is only an auto, pretty standard with an aftermarket exhaust but yet who ever stole it was game enough to do in front of the house right where the parents room was. it would of paid if the car had an alarm...

be careful where u park this long weekend! :(

Might sound harsh, but people who don't have an alarm in their cars should be hung, drawn and quartered. It just raises the insurance premiums for people who do the right thing and don't beg for their car to be stolen. Especially if it is parked in a driveway in Ottoway overnight.

"Might sound harsh, but people who don't have an alarm in their cars should be hung" lol

yeah maybe just a little harsh

so go out and buy an alarm today buys and girls!

how they started the car without a key? how many other ways are there?

lets just say an alarm and immobiliser would stop this from happening?

haha alarms dont do anything .....ive seen alarms go off and people just keep walking past, dont wanna get involved etc...the best thing to do is change your locks to keyless entry etc or just leave a rottwiler in the front seat or something......very good to hear you got your car back tho as not many people do

have u seen how immobilisers work?

unless your installer hid the relay really well, which they wouldnt have because its hard and takes alot more time (i installed my own with a mate). providing the theif can locate the relays it would only take about 15 seconds to un-immoblise one.

yeah but lang, you are missing the most important functions of an alarm:

1. as a deterrent (a flashing red light at night makes a car very unattractive)

2. that 15 seconds is often the difference between a stolen car or not. The car in question was in the driveway of a home, so the second the car made a noise the thief would have been out of there.

Proof of this is my brother-in-law David's R33 was broken into last week at his home, but as soon as the alarm went off the thief fled.

Also, I have 4 points of immobolisation and a kill switch - plus 4 piezo sirens mounted inside the cabin - the noise of the piezo's is absolutely ear piercing - I would enjoy seeing a thief try to get through the 3 immobiliser points with that noise in his ear :bunny:

My brothers girlfriend's neighbour had his newly bought R32 GTR stolen. They found it the next day with a completely blown engine. Also, a mate got his R32 GTST stolen about a week ago too. First thing you guys all need to do is get good working alarms and imobilisers and leave your cars in well lit, safe areas.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.

      Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.

      Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?

      1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
